FEATURES:

Chambered in 9MM and built on a refined 1911 platform, the Ronin 1911 delivers traditional single-action ergonomics with modern enhancements aimed at target accuracy and optical readiness. A 4.25" stainless match grade barrel establishes the mechanical foundation for consistent groupings and repeatable point of impact; precision rifling and tight tolerances in the barrel-to-slide interface reduce dispersion and promote reliable lockup shot after shot. The barrel’s stainless construction resists corrosion while providing the dimensional stability needed for demanding accuracy expectations, particularly when paired with quality defensive or match ammunition.

The slide is machined from carbon steel and finished in a deep blued treatment, and it  come with serrations front and rear to aid press checks and emergency manipulations. Serrations are strategically cut for maximum purchase whether performing tactical reloads, clearing malfunctions, or performing controlled press checks under stress. The slide’s geometry and weight balance are tuned to maintain reliable cycling while supporting the sighting platform.

Frame construction departs from traditional full-steel 1911 designs through a satin Cerakote finish on an aluminum frame that reduces overall carry weight while maintaining a rigid support structure for the slide and barrel assembly. The frame incorporates a beavertail to protect the shooter’s web from hammer bite and to promote a high, consistent hand position for recoil control and sight alignment. Controls are positioned and sized to respect classic 1911 ergonomics—thumb safety, slide stop, and magazine release—but with modern tolerances that reduce slop and enhance positive engagement. The satin Cerakote treatment provides durable corrosion resistance and an understated aesthetic that complements the blued slide and wood laminate grips.

Grips are Crossed Cannon wood laminate, chosen for tactile feedback, visual appeal, and longevity. The crossed cannon motif provides a textured purchase without being abrasive, supporting a firm, repeatable grip during rapid fire and brisk strings of controlled pairs. The laminate material resists the elements better than plain hardwood and maintains stable geometry under temperature and humidity variations, which preserves consistent hand placement and trigger reach for a broad range of shooters.

Capacity is 9+1, aligning with the classic single-stack 1911 philosophy while leveraging modern 9MM ballistics to deliver a balance of controllability and defensive performance. Magazines are engineered to present cartridges cleanly to the feed ramp and are captive to the frame with a positive magazine release and well-defined magazine well geometry. The single-stack configuration contributes to a slim grip profile that aids concealability and natural pointability, while still providing usable capacity for carry and duty use.

Fit, finish, and serviceability are engineered with practical maintenance in mind. The stainless match grade barrel, blued carbon steel slide, and satin Cerakote aluminum frame are combined to offer long service life with routine cleaning and inspection. Field-stripping follows conventional 1911 procedures so users familiar with the platform can perform maintenance quickly, and the Ronin benefits from Springfield Armory’s attention to tolerances and quality control throughout assembly.

Performance characteristics emphasize a crisp, predictable trigger and a chassis geometry that promotes natural pointing. The combination of a precision barrel, optic-ready slide, reduced-weight aluminum frame with a beavertail, and comfortable Crossed Cannon wood laminate grips yields a handgun that is accurate, controllable, and adaptable to modern optics and carry preferences. Springfield Armory’s engineering focus on marrying classic 1911 ergonomics with contemporary sighting and materials choices results in a handgun designed for shooters who want traditional form and modern function in a single platform.
