While the Ronin Operator is the result of thoroughly modern precision manufacturing, it’s undeniably traditional in its approach to quality and performance. Configured as a full-size 5″ gun and available in 9mm and .45 ACP variants, the Ronin Operator features a forged steel slide and frame as well as a hammer-forged barrel for unparalleled durability and strength.
The pistol sports a beautiful two-tone finish, with a stainless steel forged frame and a forged slide of carbon steel. The flats of both the slide and frame are thoroughly polished, with an attractive matte finish applied to the rest of the pistol. In addition, the carbon steel slide features a beautiful hot salt bluing treatment that not only brings out the lustre of the steel, but also hearkens back to the earliest days of the classic 1911.
This is a fantastic gun. Very accurate, fantastic trigger and the finish is impecable. Comes with one 9 round magazine but Ive had no problems using 10 round magazines for other 1911 guns I own. Now for the one and only feature I really dislike. This pistol is very picky about which 9mm it will accept. Ammo that works with no issue on any other 9mm will at times not chamber in the Ronin. The barrel is milled to very close tolerances. Would I buy this pistol again, oh yes. Fantastic gun.
