The Springfield Armory 1911 Ronin delivers classic 1911 reliability with modern optic-ready capability in 45 ACP. This Commander-sized pistol combines traditional aesthetics with contemporary performance features for serious shooters.
What Makes This Different
The Ronin stands apart from standard 1911s with its factory optic-ready slide cut and forged stainless steel construction. While many 1911s require aftermarket modifications for red dot mounting, this model comes ready for modern sighting systems. The crossed cannon wood laminate grips provide enhanced texture and durability compared to traditional smooth wood grips.
