The fact that my everyday attire consists of loose, casual clothing pretty much seals the deal.
This is not merely a reflection on my own personal experience but with others I have trained as well.
On occasion, I have encountered shooters struggling with other designs and had them try a 1911.
Finding the right gun for your every day carry pistol can be a happy challenge as there are many options that may fit your specific needs. The Ronin 4.25″ 9mm 1911 is an excellent choice for many people.
In several instances, the improvements in both skill and confidence have been dramatic.
For many years, one of my favorite pistols has been a compact-size 1911 in .45 ACP.
Might we be on to something here?
The Ronin 9mm 4.25” is built on a lightweight aluminum frame and features a great trigger and easy-to-read sights.
I ordered the pistol to see if it might fill a vital niche in my battery of defensive pistols.
The 4.25 match grade barrel is rendered from forged stainless steel complete with a fully supported ramp.
Attractive, laminated wood grips with Springfields crossed cannon logo are standard.
When discretion is required, a compact-sized Ronin 4.25” can be readily concealed in an IWB holster such as the Milt Sparks 55BN outside-the-waistband holster.
Personally, I dont feel this to be a huge disadvantage.
On the other end of the scale, a really small pocket pistol has both benefits and compromises.
For me, this all adds up to better hit potential.
The compact-size Ronin allows the user to get a full firing grip, which helps deliver better control.
The muzzle is canted slightly forward while the grip is angled to the rear.
The holstered pistol rides tight to the body to aid concealment.
For those occasions when IWB carry is required, a Milt Sparks Executives Companion is pressed into service.
Combined with a quality holster, the Ronin 4.25” can see you through nearly any realistic self-defense situation a citizen might encounter.
But, I feel the trade-off for slightly better performance is worth it.
You too might agree that a mid-size lightweight, yet very capable pistol is just the right choice.

The Ronin’s combination of light weight and reasonably compact size — as well as capable 9mm power — makes it a great EDC option.
