Springfield Armory 1911 Garrison Target

The Springfield Armory 1911 Garrison Target delivers a factory-tuned shooting experience built for precision and reliability. Chambered in .45 ACP and 9mm, this model combines classic 1911 ergonomics with modern accuracy enhancements, offering a ready-to-shoot platform for shooters who demand consistency from the first round.

Overview

Springfield Armory developed the 1911 Garrison Target as a production-grade pistol that bridges the gap between a standard service model and a custom competition gun. It features a forged carbon steel frame and slide, a match-grade barrel, and enhanced sights. The Garrison Target is designed for shooters who want a .45 ACP or 9mm pistol that performs at the range without requiring aftermarket modifications. Chambered in both calibers, this model provides flexibility for target practice, competition, or defensive training.

Who It’s For

The Springfield Armory 1911 Garrison Target is suited for shooters who want a production 1911 with target-grade features but do not want to invest in a semi-custom build. It works well for range practice, bullseye matches, and action shooting sports. The .45 ACP variant is a reliable choice for those who prefer the traditional caliber, while the 9mm version offers lower recoil and higher capacity for extended training sessions. This pistol is also a practical option for collectors who appreciate factory-fit precision in a classic 1911 platform.

• Competition shooters seeking a reliable out-of-the-box target pistol
• Enthusiasts who want a 1911 with adjustable sights and a match barrel
• Shooters looking for a .45 ACP or 9mm pistol with a crisp single-action trigger
