The Ronin comes in a plain cardboard box, albeit with a nice nylon zippered pouch.
Accuracy testing was done from a Caldwell Matrix rest on a concrete bench from 25 yards.
Winchesters budget white box 230-gr.
jacketed hollow point put five shots in 1.90, center to center.

Suffice it to say, the pistol demonstrated more than sufficient accuracy.
There were no malfunctions of any kind.
