Sales were so good that it was only natural to expect a follow-on variation in 9mm.
Testing from the 25-yard bench showed it was also amply accurate for practical shooting matches.
The most accurate was the Winchester Winclean 147-grain subsonic with a jacketed truncated cone bullet.
Just like its .45ACP big brother, a fully adjustable target rear sight is nestled into the RO’s slide. Controls are simple but effective.
The 9mm Range Officer feels like capable of one-inch 25-yard groups with the ammo it likes best.

(Ive seen him shoot it pretty darn well in competition, too.)
See the 9mm Range Officer at your firearms retailer ($977), or for more information visitwww.springfield-armory.com.
The 9mm Range Officer put five shots into a cluster measuring about an inch, using Winchester’s Winclean 147-gr. load. The author’s test pistol ran 100% throughout testing.
