Springfield Armory Releases Compact 1911
Springfield Armory has released a compact version of its popular and rugged Ronin 1911 pistol. The new Ronin 4.25-inch 1911 offers a lighter weight and more comfortable carry option at a weight of just 29.5 ounces in the .45 ACP version and 31 ounces in the 9mm version.
“Since its release earlier this year, the full-size Ronin Operator has been extremely popular due to its combination of impressive features and pricing,” says Steve Kramer, Vice President of Marketing for Springfield Armory. “The new Ronin Operator 4.25″ adds a lighter, more compact option for those who love carrying the legendary 1911.”
A Shorter Barrel with Reliable Performance
The pistol features a traditional barrel bushing system that matches up with its 4.25″ match grade barrel. The barrel itself is fully supported and ramped, lending additional strength to the design to promote consistent and reliable functioning.
The Ronin Operator 4.25″ sports a two-tone finish, with the forged alloy frame featuring a satin aluminum Cerakote finish and the forged carbon steel slide a hot salt blued finish.
Solid Engagement for Intuitive Control
The beavertail grip safety with “memory bump” promotes solid engagement, while the fiber optic front/tactical rack rear sight and extended safety lever promise instant sight picture and intuitive control.
Rounding out the package of the Ronin Operator is a pair of Crossed Cannon premium laminate wood grips, stainless steel checkered flat mainspring housing, Springfield Armory 2nd Generation Speed Trigger, forward slide serrations and a basepad-equipped magazine (9+1 capacity in the 9mm model and 8+1 in the .45).
