It starts (and ends, really) with the manufacturing process. Unlike many other 1911\u2019s at this price point, the Ronin uses a forged frame and slide rather than cast components. And I only say \u201cmany other\u201d on the off chance that one exists I haven\u2019t been able to find. The other big manufacturers all use cast components for their sub-$1000 1911\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"671\" title=\"Springfield\u2019s New Ronin 1911: Bombproof Quality at a Great Price (Full Review)\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Ronin-breakdown-1024x671.jpg\" alt=\"Springfield\u2019s New Ronin 1911: Bombproof Quality at a Great Price (Full Review)\" class=\"wp-image-129865\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Ronin-breakdown-1024x671.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Ronin-breakdown-400x262.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Ronin-breakdown-150x98.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Ronin-breakdown-768x503.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Ronin-breakdown.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><em>The Ronin is built to last, and that starts with a forged slide and frame. <\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As Humphries explained, forging is the process of pounding\nand compacting material into a uniform piece. It\u2019s a classic manufacturing\ntechnique that keeps irregularities from forming within the component. It also\nproduces a high level of density, which allows for higher-quality machining and\na much stronger material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Casting, on the other hand, involves pouring material into a hollow mold that resembles the piece but could leave cavities, voids, etc., after the process has cooled. Cast slides and frames aren\u2019t weak by any means. Lots of firearms manufacturers use cast components with acceptable results. But if you\u2019re looking for something that will last decades and keep shooting, forged parts are the way to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"709\" title=\"Springfield\u2019s New Ronin 1911: Bombproof Quality at a Great Price (Full Review)\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Ronin-barrel-1024x709.jpg\" alt=\"Springfield\u2019s New Ronin 1911: Bombproof Quality at a Great Price (Full Review)\" class=\"wp-image-129866\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Ronin-barrel-1024x709.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Ronin-barrel-400x277.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Ronin-barrel-150x104.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Ronin-barrel-768x532.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Ronin-barrel.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><em>The 5-inch barrel is also hammer forged. <\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>That quality is apparent in the Ronin even right out of the\nbox. At over 40 ounces, it\u2019s slightly heavier than other 1911\u2019s at this price.\nWeight isn\u2019t a perfect indicator of quality, of course, but the Ronin <em>feels<\/em>\nwell-built. Its heft makes it a bear for concealed carry (more on this below),\nbut a dream for competition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The slide-to-frame fit also testifies to the quality of Springfield\u2019s manufacturing process. There is zero wiggle with the hammer un-cocked and only a slight side-to-side movement with the hammer cocked. Slide-to-frame fit has a debatable effect on accuracy (some say it matters, others say it doesn\u2019t), but you can\u2019t get this kind of fit with an imprecise manufacturing process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some users might question Springfield&#8217;s decision not to include a full-length steel guide rod and spring plug. I get this critique but keep in mind that there are inevitable trade-offs at this MSRP. Personally, if I have to choose, I&#8217;d rather have a forged slide, frame, and barrel than high-quality small parts that I can swap out later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Modern Features<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A variety of modern features build on the Ronin\u2019s base of\nquality materials. The sights and the trigger are excellent. I like the\ncontrast between the two white dots and the red front fiber-optic, which can be\nswapped out easily for a different color. The rear sight is also what\nSpringfield calls \u201ctactical rack.\u201d It\u2019s raised slightly, which allows you to\npress it against the edge of a table or chair and rack it with one hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The \u201cGen 2.0 Speed Trigger\u201d features a crisp, consistent 4-pound break, and the reset is audible and tactical. The trigger is polymer, which I understand isn\u2019t as desirable to old-school 1911 aficionados. But Glock, et al, have demonstrated the durability of polymer triggers, and I can\u2019t imagine a scenario in which the trigger\u2019s construction would become an issue. On the contrary: I found it comfortable to shoot and super fast. The Gen 2.0 uses four skeletonized sections in the shoe rather than five on the Gen 1.0. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" title=\"Springfield\u2019s New Ronin 1911: Bombproof Quality at a Great Price (Full Review)\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Ronin-front-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Springfield\u2019s New Ronin 1911: Bombproof Quality at a Great Price (Full Review)\" class=\"wp-image-129867\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Ronin-front-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Ronin-front-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Ronin-front-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Ronin-front-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Ronin-front.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"736\" title=\"Springfield\u2019s New Ronin 1911: Bombproof Quality at a Great Price (Full Review)\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Ronin-grip-safety-1024x736.jpg\" alt=\"Springfield\u2019s New Ronin 1911: Bombproof Quality at a Great Price (Full Review)\" class=\"wp-image-129868\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Ronin-grip-safety-1024x736.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Ronin-grip-safety-400x288.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Ronin-grip-safety-150x108.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Ronin-grip-safety-768x552.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Ronin-grip-safety.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" title=\"Springfield\u2019s New Ronin 1911: Bombproof Quality at a Great Price (Full Review)\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Ronin-Grip-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Springfield\u2019s New Ronin 1911: Bombproof Quality at a Great Price (Full Review)\" class=\"wp-image-129869\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Ronin-Grip-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Ronin-Grip-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Ronin-Grip-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Ronin-Grip-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Ronin-Grip.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"659\" title=\"Springfield\u2019s New Ronin 1911: Bombproof Quality at a Great Price (Full Review)\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Ronin-safety-1024x659.jpg\" alt=\"Springfield\u2019s New Ronin 1911: Bombproof Quality at a Great Price (Full Review)\" class=\"wp-image-129870\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Ronin-safety-1024x659.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Ronin-safety-400x257.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Ronin-safety-150x97.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Ronin-safety-768x494.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Ronin-safety.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><em>The Ronin implements tons of modern features.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Forward cocking serrations, a beavertail grip safety, an\nextended safety lever, and a baseplate magazine round out the Ronin\u2019s laundry\nlist of modern features.

I opted for the 9mm, and I\u2019m\nglad I did.

Once I found the\ncorrect point of aim, I could ring it all day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Applications? <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Springfield Ronin 1911 would excel in any appropriate competitive setting. It\u2019s well-built, accurate, easy to shoot, and reliable. The magazine also drops free, which is an important consideration for any competitive firearm. Sure, you can find souped-up 1911\u2019s that might be more accurate or boast a lighter trigger. But for the price, the Ronin\u2019s performance is tough to beat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This may sound counterintuitive, but I also think the Ronin\nwould make a great training gun for new shooters. Some folks put new shooters\non smaller guns that seem easier to manipulate. But the smaller the gun, the\ngreater the recoil, generally speaking. The Ronin\u2019s weight lessens felt recoil,\nand new shooters will appreciate its easy-to-understand external-hammer design\nand its crisp trigger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"679\" title=\"Springfield\u2019s New Ronin 1911: Bombproof Quality at a Great Price (Full Review)\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Ronin-shooting-1024x679.jpg\" alt=\"Springfield\u2019s New Ronin 1911: Bombproof Quality at a Great Price (Full Review)\" class=\"wp-image-129876\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Ronin-shooting-1024x679.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Ronin-shooting-400x265.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Ronin-shooting-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Ronin-shooting-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Ronin-shooting.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><em>The Ronin is a great entry-level option for 1911 competition. <\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There are probably better options for defensive purposes. I\nsay that only because of the limited magazine capacity. These days, even\nsubcompact handguns can squeeze more than 9+1, so I\u2019d look elsewhere for a home\ndefense or concealed carry firearm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re stuck on the 1911 as a defensive piece (it did win\nWWII, after all), I\u2019d keep it in the quick access safe at home. Carrying the\nRonin around all day would get old pretty quick, and you\u2019re not increasing\ncapacity for the weight you\u2019re sacrificing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>But let\u2019s be honest\u2014you\u2019re not going to buy the Ronin because it\u2019s the most practical gun in the world. If you wanted something cheap, practical, and ugly, there are lots of striker-fired plastic guns to choose from. You\u2019re going to buy the Ronin because it\u2019s beautiful, tough, wonderful to shoot, and will last until your grandson\u2019s son or daughter is ready for their first 1911.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">For more information&nbsp;visit Springfield Armory <a href=\"https:\/\/www.springfield-armory.com\/1911-series-handguns\/1911-ronin-handguns?utm_source=GunsAmerica\" campaign=\"Springfield_Ronin_1911\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">website<\/a>.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/\" campaign=\"BuySellGA_Register\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>John Browning\u2019s legendary design is already tough.
