Features and Specs

The Springfield Armory Ronin is not just another 1911. It combines forged carbon steel frames and slides with a two-tone stainless and black finish that catches the eye but holds up to holster wear. The 4.25 inch barrel is precision-crafted and paired with a bushingless, full-length guide rod for improved recoil management and consistency. The trigger is a forged, skeletonized design with an adjustable trigger stop, giving you a clean break right out of the box. The front strap features 20-line-per-inch checkering, so your grip stays locked in even with sweaty hands or gloves. You get a beavertail grip safety with a memory bump, an extended thumb safety, and a lowered and flared ejection port for reliable feeding and extraction. The sights are a high-visibility front blade with a tactical rack rear, both dovetailed and ready for a quick sight picture.
