For those who don't know. A Ronin is a Masterless samurai. In feudal Japan, the country was divided among many warlords called daimyo' Who waged near-constant wars against each other in an attempt to dominate Japan. in feudal Japan, samurai served the same role as knights did in Europe.

A couple months ago I bought a new Ronin 10mm. Had nothing but a variety of problems with it. I tried to break it in by shooting it but after 400 rounds of frustration I decided it was a waste of money. So I called Springfield and got an RMA. I sent it in on July 12, a little more that six weeks ago. This morning I got an email that it would be sent back to me in a few days. Apparently the gun was a mess because, well this is what they said: "Our techs reamed the chamber, recut, and polished the barrel ramp, polished the chamber, and refit the barrel. They also tuned the slide stop, polished the breech face, and tuned the extractor. Everything was safety checked and tested with no issues." Wow. Seriously? How did that gun make it through quality control? What's going on Springfield?!?!?! I own four cheap Tisas. Zero failures of any kind with any of them.
