There are some transgressions that must be rectified immediately.
The fact I have never fired a 1911 chambered in 9mm is practically unforgivable.
Ive spent a lot of time with 1911s, but always chambered in .45 ACP.
Ive probably put even more rounds through 2011s, but all in .40 SW.
Consider my transgression rectified.
This pistol is sweet looking.
I was hooked and couldnt wait to get the pistol out on the range.
Want to see my full video review of it?

Familiar Form
The Ronin is a 1911 in the most classic sense.
The barrel is a stainless forged match-grade barrel and interfaces with a traditional bushing.
The Ronin is built to last.
When it comes to size and shape the Ronin is a standard 1911.
When it comes to out of the box features, its a whole nother story.
Out of the box, the sights are significantly better performers than your typical 1911 sights.
The front sight is a thin and bright fiber optic.
Replacement red and green fiber rods ship with the gun.
The mainspring housing is crisply checkered for added grip.
The crossed cannons of the Springfield Armory logo adorn both the slide and the rosewood grips.
A skeletonized trigger completes the refined look and has a crisp break and a short reset.
My Lyman digital trigger scale put the Ronin trigger at a consistent 4 lbs., 5 oz.
How It Shoots
Like a dream…I mean it.
The width of the safety blade was just right for my strong hand thumb to ride.
During my testing, I ran the pistol with Black Hills 124-gr.
JHP ammo, and it ran like a dream.
Additionally, I am seriously thinking that this might be my USPSA gun in 2020.
Yeah, sounds good to me!
