Overview

The Springfield 1911 Ronin Operator 45 ACP full-size pistol with wood laminate grips is built around a forged carbon steel frame and slide, finished with a two-tone look that is both functional and distinctive. The front strap features 25-line-per-inch checkering, giving you a positive grip even with sweaty hands. The wood laminate grips add a warm, classic touch while providing a tactile surface that locks into your palm. This is a 5-inch barrel 1911 with a full-length guide rod and a lowered, flared ejection port for reliable feeding and ejection. The operator-style slide has cocking serrations front and rear, and the dovetailed front sight with a Tactical Rack rear sight gives a clean sight picture. Simply put, this pistol is built to shoot.

Features & Specs

• Forged frame and slide: Both frame and slide are machined from forged carbon steel, then blued and cerakoted for corrosion resistance. This is not a cast or MIM-heavy production gun.
• Wood laminate grips: The cross-cut wood laminate grips are durable and resist moisture better than standard wood. They also provide a subtle anti-slip texture.
• Operator slide cut: The slide features a flat top with serrations at both ends, making press checks and slide manipulations easy under stress or with gloves.
• Match-grade barrel: A 5-inch, fully supported ramp barrel with a stainless steel finish and a bushing that fits tight for consistent accuracy.
• Trigger and safety: The forged, skeletonized trigger breaks cleanly at around 5 to 6 pounds. Extended thumb safety and beavertail grip safety with a memory bump are standard.
• Magazine capacity: Ships with two 7-round magazines with flat base pads. The magazine well is slightly beveled for faster reloads.
