- čas přidán 12. 03. 2021
- Springfield Armory "Ronin" a custom shop quality 1911 without the custom shop price. This Ronin 1911 sports a forged stainless lower and forged carbon steel slide with a hammer forged barrel and is as smooth as butter. The Ronin is available in the usual .45ACP but this particular one is chambered in 9mm and is every bit as reliable as the originals.

As an older guy, 66, I have shot 1911's for over 40 years, there is not a nicer shooting pistol than a 1911 in 9mm.
I think I'd have to agree with you and the Ronin is a really nice one! Thanks for watching!
Great review. I love 1911 pistols myself. I don't understand why some people think they can't like both the 1911 and the more modern designs like the Glock.
I like both myself, but it's fun to tease both groups! Thanks for watching!
There is nothing really modern about a Glock. I don’t know why anyone thinks they are.
Glocks are straight Minecraft looking and feeling garbage
@@gwm450f4 everyone has a right to an opinion
I bought one a couple of weeks ago. Bout 2 Wilson Combat 10 rd mags for it (it came with 1 Springfield 9 rnd). Cleaned and lubed it, took it to the range yesterday. 200 rds through it 4 different types of ammo including my carry ammo. I had 1 FTE the third round that was shot an using the factory mag. After that functioned flawlessly no matter what mag I was using. Great groups, nice sights, I was shooting 8" shoot-n-sees at 25yds. Shot so much I had to let it cool down!!!! 9mm recoil very tame, right back on target. So far I love it.
Very nice! I really like .45ACP but this 9mm Ronin is sweet! Thanks for watching!
did you buy the compact 10 rd mags?
@@Danbae69 yes. N j
No apologies needed for that accuracy. You did pretty darn good for being new to that pistol.great video, thanks for sharing.
Thanks, and thanks for watching!
Appreciate you taking it down, I cannot wait to get mine.
My pleasure. I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for watching!
That's a Beauty!
Shoots great too. Thanks for watching Santee!
I'm going on 40yrs of messin with 1911's and though i have fired darn near atleast one of each make that i can think of, the SA production 1911's just seem to shoot the best, a few, like the operator have the accuracy of hand fitted pistols right out of the box. I'm not a fan of SA as a company but they do something right with their 1911's that i just can't ignore.
I believe I have to agree with you. Thanks for watching!
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview I have noticed this for years as a colt fan (and others) the SA 1911's just seemed to be a bit better than the others all the way around, there are exceptions to anything but all in all like it or not SA has a 1911 know how that makes their 1911's among the most desirable, atleast in the mass production category. I have some seriously high quality 1911's that don't outperform my springfields.
I have also been impressed with bul armories offerings but not so much that i would sell my combat operator or my emissary.
My first owned handgun and most likely my only one it’s totally awesome I love it.!!!!! Recoil is SMOOTH as silk and the trigger is INCREDIBLE.!!!!!!!!👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
famous last words. Lol. They can be habit forming. The Ronin it a really sweet pistol. Enjoy, be safe and thanks for watching!
Outstanding video!
Thank you very much!
It took me 13 mos to find a 45 commander size ronin, I had to add this to my 1911 collection, I love this one. Looks like one I had sent to paycmeyr in 1988 to have tricked out, enjoy it!
Very cool. This one shoots great. Although I don't have very many 1911's, they are some of my favorites. Thanks for watching!
Great video sir. You made up my mind and I ordered one in 45. ✌
Good choice! I have a feeling you're going to enjoy it! Thanks for the compliment and thanks for watching!
Great video. Cant wait, picking one up this Christmas....
I have a feeling you're going to like it. Thanks for watching!
Good review and great video work.
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching!
Love my Springfield .45
They are nice! Thanks for watching!
Great review. Just put my order in for one. Gonna be 8 long days of wait.
Hope you enjoy it!
Very nice pistol and good review. I found this while looking for information on the Ronin. New subscriber but not new to guns or 1911s. IME Springfield typically is the sweet spot for 1911s. Good solid performers at reasonable pricing. Some others are more expensive. Some others are less expensive. I haven't found another brand of 1911 that blends quality construction and price as well.
I couldn't agree more! I may have to pick one up in .45ACP someday. Thanks for subscribing and thanks for watching too!
Great video mate, interesting and informative. Great pace on the whole video explaining everything. Sold me!
Never had a 1911. Easier to have a 9mm here in Australia due to law restrictions rather than the .45 Keep it up. Good shooting👍. Subscribed.👍
Awesome. Thanks for the compliments and thanks for watching!
great review liked it alot !
Much appreciated! Thanks for watching!
Yeah I personally like a 1911, but I was raised on one back in the seventies so I'm good with one and I've been looking at the 10 m m hard, I would think with your leather making skills you can make mag holders for that real easy, thanks for the vid
The 1911 is just an icon. I plan on making a shoulder holster for it with mag pouches, I was just aching to get the video out. Maybe another holster video in the future! Thanks for watching William!
I had a nice .45 caliber 1911 I sold it with the rest of my sidearms. I Still have a Derringer in .45 caliber. It's been around along time. Still works great. Your new pistol is really nice all the best with it. When I move I will get another 1911 and maybe a revolver. I'm starting to regret selling the pistols especially now but I'm not worried. Good luck again it's a great shooter.
Seems like a 1911 is needed in every collection, along with a good revolver or two! Thanks for watching!
Why’d you sell them all?
@@Jedi391 NYS law make it difficult to own handguns. They can ask you to bring them to police headquarters anytime. They can even come to your house and ask to see them. Long story
No disrespect, but the saying is Cocked and Locked, not the other way around. I have a ton of 1911’s all 45 but one! A Springfield Operator in 9mm and I love the damn thing. Saves money on range ammo. And because I roll my own, even saves more with a 9mm. Great review of the Ronin.
I realized that I said it backwards when I was editing the video. I'm a huge fan of the 1911, pure classic. Thanks for watching!
Nice. The 10mm in this pistol has received rave reviews as well.
I thought about the 10mm but I don't have any others that use it. Thanks for watching!
Got my Glock field stripped & reassembled B 4 U got the spring out,, BUT yours is a better looking piece 👍
I'll bet you weren't trying to film it either! Lol. No, I agree there are much easier firearms to field strip and I have some that can be done in the amount of time it takes to swap a magazine. The only thing I don't like about a 1911 is the takedown but, they are a wonderful pistol! Thank you for watching!
Looks good
Shoots well too! Thanks for watching!
I was watching a video with Bill Wilson the other day. He ststed there are more 1911's built in 9MM now than 45ACP.
I can believe that. I like 9mm, but .45ACP is just really, really cool. Thanks for watching!
Great pistol enjoy it be safe I had a nice 1911 .45 caliber I sold along with my other sidearms. I'm starting to regret that. When I move I will get another and one other probably a revolver. Bond makes some great Derringers in different calibers. I have a old .45 Derringer it's a Remington. All the best!
I have one of the Bond Arms derringers in .45/.410, I like the little thing! Thanks for watching!
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview Thanks for responding twice I didn't know I commented twice I thought I lost one. Might be time for a new tablet too. No need to respond. LOL
I always respond, it's a habit! Lol!
1911 is an icon. Well made and attractive with history. Possibly the best gun for the 45 acp and one of the better ones for 10mm. When it comes to 9mm pistols however we are spoiled for choice with so many wonder 9 options out there.
Bottom line, if you go with a 1911 9mm it s a perfectly fine choice, especially for target and pleasure shooting but it's not necessarily the best in terms of fighting efficiency and self defense.
I agree. There are tons of options for 9mm, most with a higher capacity but, a 1911 is a work of art. Thanks for commenting and thanks for watching!
What is the “best” in “fighting efficiency?”
The root word in gunfight is not gun but fight.
Functional,but needs work.
Trigger is at best marginal,around 6 lbs.
Honestly,this is a great platform to build a winner.
Definitely needs trigger work,and a reliability package.
Everything can be improved. Thanks for watching!
very cool glad you got one beautiful pistol i have some 9mm but all hollowpoints the ball ammo is 60 or 70 a box now but hp price unchanged
Me too. The pretty guns are made of metal and wood. Thanks for watching!
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview any time i love my laseraim series three in 45 acp can write my name with it
Hi I’m your new subscriber from the Philippines. I like how you review firearms and the knowledge you share is priceless. Can you do reviews on Armscor (rock island armory) products? XT-22 (a 1911 style pistol in .22lr) and M22 carbine (a ruger 10/22 clone) There’s not a lot of reviews on them even. Thanks and more power.
Depends on availability and what's in my budget! I wish I could review them all! Thanks for subscribing and thanks for watching!
Fine lookin' 9 m
Thank you Rusty!
I like that it has a fully supported chamber. I don't understand why it's not an option on the 45.
I couldn't say. Thanks for watching.
Looks like Jerry Miculek has some competition on changing mags.
Have a Springfield 1911 Range Officer in 9mm that I really like. I guess I'm not a purist either. But, I do have Ruger 1911 in 45 ACP so maybe that evens it out. JimE
Ha! Maybe if we put his mags 20yds away and make him run back and forth!
I have a Cimarron 1911 in .45, so I guess as long as you own at least one in .45, it's all cool!
Thanks for watching Jim!
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview "Maybe if we put his mags 20yds away and make him run back and forth!" 👍😁👍
Where did yoy get your extra mags from. I've had trouble finding them. Those look like the OEM mags for it.
I ordered them directly from Springfield.
How do you like the Peltor Rangeguard? Considering buying one as my first ear pro
For the price, they're great. I only use them when I'm shooting pistol because I have a pretty big head and they seem to interfere with my sight picture but for pistol stuff, I love them.
I have a ronin 9mm in 4 shoot great
They're very nice pistols. Thanks for watching.
It would have been nice if you fully disassembled the gun and showed the quality of the small parts.
It's tough to figure out what people want to see. Some people don't care about how it shoots, some don't want to see how it comes apart, some don't want to see what comes in the box, but some do. I try to mix it up and still keep it interesting and that's the toughest job of all. Thanks for watching!
Please consider going to Gunsite.
Gunsite???
Checked one out the other day. Do not own a 1911 of any kind. Feeling an urge coming on strong. Out of the blue. DK what mfgr I’ll wind up with but thinking 45. Like that round & don’t have a 45 either.
I'll let you slide. Go ahead and scratch that itch. A .45acp in a 1911 is a thing of beauty. I have a feeling you'll enjoy it. Thanks for watching!
Can't get past the fact that it has a plastic trigger. What were they thinking? Saved what a couple of bucks?
A metal one would have been nicer but to tell you the truth, I didn't notice any difference. It's made of a polymer which many quality firearms are made of anyway. I agree with you. Thanks for watching!
That plastic trigger is an upgrade, very crisp
That plastic trigger is an upgrade, very crisp
When a Glock is "cocked and locked" the striker isnt even all the way back, the striker is only pulled back and released when you pull the trigger back to the wall. So it cant be safer then a glock at least. Not sure if other striker fired handguns work the same or not.
I couldn't say, but if the striker is not all the way back, is it even "cocked"?
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview I guess its never really cocked until right before the trigger breaks. When its "cocked and locked" its more like in a half cock.
There are two types of people...............
I didn't want to alienate the non 1911 crowd, but they sure are nice guns!
Thanks for watching Squib!
Blasphemy?
Naw, weird maybe. Maybe not!
There are those among us that would differ! Thanks for watching!
There is only one way to carry a 1911
How's that? I have a drop leg holster, an OWB and I made a shoulder holster several years ago. How do you prefer to carry one?
no time to rack the slide.....what do you imagine is going to happen? has it EVER happened to you. to ANYONE you know?
No matter how fast you think you are, there will be somebody faster come around sooner or later. There's always the element of surprise too, will you be able to rack it while someone is beating you with a baseball bat?
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview hmmmm...speed seems to be what interests you. my question is why? is there data to support that speed is necessary when confronted with a dangerous situation? no..there is not.
@@wingersfan being ready is what interests me. I was talking face to face with someone a long time ago, and another kid walked up behind me and stuck the point of a knife in my back while wrapping his left arm around my neck. Now lucky for me, he was just playing around and I was only in the 8th grade anyway but it could have been a much different situation. Imagine the same scenario but you have a firearm on you, would you rather have one in the chamber or have to rack one first? In a position like that, any move you make could be your last but having one round ready to go gives you a little bit of an advantage.
@@wingersfanyou wait for your data while others are ready to go to work. You might only have one free or functional hand in a conflict for whatever reason.
Do you have any data to suggest that carrying chambered is a DISadvantage?
@@shuumai No. I am not a cop nor in the military. I am just a guy who enjoys shooting and doesn't envision being in a shoot out every day.
