Overview

Built on a forged carbon steel frame and slide, the Springfield 1911 Ronin 45 ACP semi-auto pistol with 4.25 inch barrel is designed for shooters who value both form and function.

Each pistol is hand-fitted and assembled in the United States, ensuring tight tolerances and consistent cycling with standard and defensive ammunition. Whether you are engaging steel targets at the range or trusting your life to a sidearm, the Ronin is built to perform without compromise.

Who It’s For

The Springfield 1911 Ronin 45 ACP semi-auto pistol with a 4.25 inch barrel is purpose-built for three distinct types of Ohio shooters. First, it serves the enthusiast who appreciates the 1911 platform but wants modern reliability and a slightly shorter barrel for easier carry. Second, it fits the competitive shooter who needs a .45 ACP pistol for single-stack divisions or steel challenge matches, where the 4.25-inch barrel provides a longer sight plane than compact models without the weight of a 5-inch Government model. Third, it is appropriate for the civilian defender who trains regularly and understands that a 1911 demands discipline but rewards with exceptional accuracy and trigger feel. If you are comfortable with manual safety operation and prefer the .45 ACP cartridge for its terminal performance, this pistol is a direct match for your skill set.

• Ideal for range training and defensive carry with a balance of size and capacity
• Suitable for 1911 shooters transitioning from full-size to a slightly more compact platform
• Works for those who prioritize a steel frame over polymer for recoil management and durability
