Overview

The Springfield 1911 Ronin 9mm Pistol is a full-size, steel-framed 1911 that features a two-tone stainless steel slide and a forged carbon steel frame. Its design pays homage to the classic “Ronin” concept, where a blued slide meets a stainless frame, but here the roles are reversed for a striking visual contrast. The pistol includes a 5-inch barrel, a forged slide, and an extended beavertail grip safety. It ships with two 9-round magazines and features a crisp factory trigger. This model is optimized for 9mm, allowing shooters to enjoy the iconic 1911 ergonomics with less felt recoil and lower ammunition costs.

Who It’s For
