It has a profoundly classic look with all the features today\u2019s shooters expect at an entry level price. Using the highest quality materials and forged components, the Ronin Operator is truly built for a lifetime of service. Featuring a lightweight aluminum alloy frame, this 1911 was designed to be carried. It comes with a soft sided pistol case, additional fiber optic rods, and 1 x 9-round magazine with base pad. Currently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.springfield-armory.com\/1911-series-handguns\/1911-ronin-handguns\/?utm_source=GunsAmerica\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"springfield-ronin-9mm-unboxed\" title=\"Springfield 1911 Ronin Operator 4.25\" Unboxed at the Gun Counter\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the Ronin Operator<\/a> comes in two configurations: a 5\u201d Full-size and a 4.25\u201d Commander both available in either 9 mm or .45 ACP, and all have a two-tone finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All Ronin Operators feature a forged carbon steel slide with a hot salt bluing treatment bringing back that traditional 1911 look. The flats on the slide are polished while the rounded edges and top of the slide are matte. A fiber optic front sight is paired with a serrated tactical rack white dot rear sight. A tactical rack ledge allows you to manipulate the slide, on clothing or an object, one-handed. The hammer has been skeletonized and serrated for added grip. The single-sided serrated thumb safety engages easily, and the serration lines flow to match the slide release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The barrel is a 4.25\u201d forged stainless steel, match grade, with a 1:16 twist. The chamber is fully supported for ultimate reliability and strength. This is Springfield\u2019s first Commander size 1911 with a barrel bushing. A barrel bushing offers slightly better fit then bull barrels and keeps the weight down. The fit and lockup are rock solid. The recoil system is a Commander length GI Style guide rod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lightweight alloy frame is forged aluminum featuring a satin aluminum Cerakote finish. Weighing in at just 31 ounces, the alloy frame is 10 ounces less than the steel frame Ronin Operator. The beaver tail grip safety features a \u201cmemory bump\u201d that ensures positive engagement. A checkered mainspring housing provides texture for a strong grip. Springfield\u2019s traditional crossed cannon logo sits on the laminate walnut wood grips with a hybrid smooth\/checkered finish, which complement the traditional theme. Satin grip screws match the finish on the frame and make the grips stand out. Springfield updated the trigger to their Gen 2 Speed Trigger. It\u2019s an aluminum skeletonized trigger with a crisp break and short reset. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ronin Operator is a traditional looking 1911 with modern aesthetics. MSRP on all 1911 Ronin Operators is $849. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/Search.htm?Keyword=&amp;ltid-all=1&amp;cid=663&amp;ns=0&amp;numberperpage=20&amp;\" campaign=\"Springfield1911Ronin_Unboxed_BuyOneGA\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">Buy a Springfield 1911 on GunsAmerica today!<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Learn more from Springfield: <a aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.springfield-armory.com\/1911-series-handguns\/1911-ronin-handguns\/?utm_source=GunsAmerica\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"springfield-ronin-9mm-unboxed\" title=\"Springfield 1911 Ronin Operator 4.25\" Unboxed at the Gun Counter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.springfield-armory.com\/1911-series-handguns\/1911-ronin-handguns\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new 1911 Ronin Operator 4.25\u201d 9 mm from Springfield Armory brings modern styling and precision manufacturing to the timeless 1911.
