Mastering the 9mm Ronin Operator

[@jorgebarake8271]

My first handgun was a Springfield and ever since, I've fallen in love with their firearms.

[@2APOV]

For the price, they make a great 1911-- love my garrison blued , I think another one that are starting to be a really good buy under 1000 would be the Bul armory.

[@Pseudo_Boethius]

Probably the most BEAUTIFUL 9mm ever created. I want one!

[@nathanyoung4304]

I have the Combat Operator in 9mm and absolutely love it. I wanted a TRP that was in 9mm and when it came out a grabbed one. All my semi autos are 9mm and it fits in nicely. Glad to see all these 9mm 1911 offerings.

[@brysonproductionsmlbthesho636]

I bought one mine is caliber in 45 I love it very accurate very beautiful very satisfied.

[@chrisphoenix77]

I have this gun, had it tuned by a 1911 specialist smith. It is the single best gun I've ever owned, ever shot. I literally dream about shooting it on days I can't. The worst thing about COVID is being unable to get more food for my Ronin easily.

[@samuelyoung4646]

Hey bud!! Where’d you go to get it tuned??

[@Nontacticalboy]

A PROPERLY done 1911.

[@dto71]

Springfield used to make a lightweight 45 operator, combing an alloy frame with a light rail and a 5" barrel. That format would be PERFECT in 9mm.

[@ysk2083]

Picked up a Ronan commander 9mm today. Cant wait to shoot

[@bigghoss762]

I got a used Springfield Range Officer Operator 9mm not long ago. Shooting a full weight 9mm 1911 isn't a big jump up from shooting a .22lr pistol. Down side is it's a full weight 40oz. 1911 so if you wanted to carry it you're going to notice that weight. I'm not really a fan of the new font Springfield uses now but I guess it's not a deal breaker.

[@dcooper1994]

Since the name has Operator in it, you would think it would come with a rail.

[@raider5231]

Exactly! If it had a rail, I'd go with it over the RO Operator

[@SqueeblesMcklooflin]

Agreed

[@patrickjones8174]

Would have been nice to see the target. Did he hit anything?

[@davidcole333]

I think the lack of a checkered front strap is a glaring omission. Any 1911 that dosn't have one feels loose and sloppy in my hand.

[@Sunbear415]

Pretty sure you don’t need a bushing wrench

[@djarnoldo516]

How do you rotate the bushing and not marr the steel without an 89 cent bushing wrench?

[@tjzulu1]

[@m444ss]

It looks like a wonderful pistol, aesthetically and functionally; however, seems odd to call it an "operator" pistol and then highly polish the sides of the frame.

[@jarridjohnson5541]

Did you try any JHP with it? I saw them in the thumbnails but I'd like conformation that the JHPs fed fine. Thanks!

[@chrissmith7730]

Dude at 1:42 when that bug crawled on ur neck, I would've screamed and messed up the whole video! Hahaha! Love the SA Ronin, mine is in .45! Only thing is I wish it was a metal trigger and not polymer! However no biggie! For the price, I don't think u can get a better 1911! Great video brother!

[@SafetySolutionsAc]

Chris Smith Yeah, after a while it takes a pretty big distraction to throw me off. I think I could probably tolerate the pain of a murder wasp sting me as opposed to having to go back through and edit it all out! The good news about the trigger is it’s a standard 1911 trigger. If you want to change down and customize it? Go forward!

[@chrissmith7730]

@@SafetySolutionsAc yeah it's not a big deal so I'll just leave it stock. Lol. I like the trigger being black, it goes with the two tone nice! I put a set of Charles Spresser India Sambar Stag grips on it, it's now one of my safe queen guns. Haha

[@patcoder7308]

Like an ambi but south paws adapt!

[@wh07016]

Lok grips make a really good accessory grip for the Ronin !!!

[@michaeldunne1348]

Would love to find one of these in 45 acp... it's like all the guns have disappeared

[@treycanterbury9646]

I still haven’t found one, sold out everywhere near me..

[@wewd]

If they made one of these with a commander slide (4.25", not 4" like their other compact models) it would be my next purchase.

[@zack9912000]

They do make one in 4.25 with a lightweight frame

[@ClutchTacticsGaming]

@@zack9912000 aluminum frame to be exact also both in .45 acp and 9mm

[@ysk2083]

I just bought one. 4.25

[@bigskymt37775]

Great shooting and all that but if you aren't shooting steel with the camera facing you how the heck do i know what you are shooting at ...show me how well it fires

[@ct2368]

If you make a 1911 without front strap checkering in 2023 you have created a sub standard product. End of story. That process is so simple to add in modern cnc machines that you are behind the curve. Fusion firearms is blowing you guys out of the water.

[@milehighgimpster]

Thanks for the video. Very nice 1911.

[@BLACKWOLF-1911]

Just found one out of fla, proper 45cal, 4.25 commander, price 899.00. Didn't care had to get one.

[@johndimtsios3019]

I am a grown man of average build / strength and have shot guns a few times in my life at the range, but wouldn't consider myself an experienced shooter. However, I am looking to buy my first gun now. I definitely want a 1911 (due to being a history buff - perhaps not the best reason to choose a particular style). I was originally looking at Browning 380 (which is really light) as well as the SA Range Officer in 9mm. However, I am seriously looking at the 9mm Ronin 5". It would be used to go shooting with friends and for home protection (not concealed carry - although I live in AZ so CC is an easy option). I might eventually get a second gun after some time if I ever decide to CC, but quite frankly I believe that it would be two guns max. Any suggestions on the Ronin vs. The Range Officer?

[@patcoder7308]

I got a R1 now I have 4 1911 don't limit yourself

[@robertanderson7982]

Great gun but what’s with the hunched shoulders every time you shoot?

[@spartancaptain5691]

Did anyone find larger magazine that worked in the Ronin 9mm?

[@patcoder7308]

Wilson combat

[@flexjay87]

How much is Springfield paying you ?

[@MrAltheimer]

Is this available yet??

[@cfj003]

Rocidii Altheimer yes

[@setapart33]

Yes i bought 1 on the 8th of last month,it was my first pistol and the only reason i got the 9mm instead of the 45 (which i initially wanted) was cuz as far as concealed carry for a full size pistol after feeling the weight of it i knew the 45 wouldve been too heavy for me comfortabley to carry.Plus its my first (owned) so i didnt want it to get aggravating lol.Its shoots amazing with accuracy n only comes with 1 mag.GOD bless!

[@fireblast133]

777 777 thanks for the info. I finally decided I’m gonna make the dive to get a gun and have been looking at this one specifically in 9mm. Good to know it only comes with the one magazine. Just waiting for my permit to acquire to arrive in the mail. Edit: it was somewhere around $850 right?

[@gripking131313]

I've been on backorder since it debuted in the shot show.

[@setapart33]

@@fireblast133 definately a good investment,mines was brand new at $763 in north carolina i bought it in person.

Good for you.

[@johnspencer3994]

Turn off the bleepin' music.

[@edbrito5878]

Top!!!

[@ClutchTacticsGaming]

Btw the trigger is made of polymer plastic

[@stotzmitchell]

Just the shoe it's self.

[@patcoder7308]

You mean it's not poly steel?

[@godofm3tal1]

Need a bushing wrench? Is that a joke my dude? 🤣 I'm not going to touch too much on the fact that the 1911 has (besides the bushingless models) always been designed to be field strippable down to it's absolute smallest components with no tools required and just hammer the point home that i frequently take those bushings out one handed. Gotta work on that hand strength bruh.

[@SafetySolutionsAc]

godofm3tal1 I guess so! I’ll start doing some finger exercises.;)

[@thomascarpenter7415]

You lost me at 9mm .....

[@NeutralChaotic]

Small testicles demand you get a bigger caliber? That's pretty sad for you.
