The Springfield Armory 1911 Ronin combines classic 1911 design with modern enhancements for competitive shooting and tactical applications. This full-size pistol delivers the reliability of the legendary 1911 platform while incorporating contemporary features that serious shooters demand.
What Makes This Different
The Ronin stands apart from traditional 1911s with its optic-ready slide that accepts popular red dot sights without requiring custom machining. The stainless steel barrel provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard carbon steel barrels, while the crossed cannons grip texture offers enhanced control without being overly aggressive. Springfield's attention to manufacturing tolerances results in tighter lockup and improved accuracy over many production 1911s.
