Overview

Built on a full-size Government 1911 platform, the Springfield 1911 Ronin Operator 45 ACP Full-Size Pistol with Wood Laminate Grips is engineered for accuracy and reliability. The 5-inch hammer-forged barrel, supported by a fully supported ramp, ensures consistent bullet alignment and dependable feeding with a wide variety of .45 ACP ammunition.

A lowered and flared ejection port aids in positive case extraction, while the extended thumb safety and beavertail grip safety with a memory bump facilitate a high-hand hold and faster follow-up shots. The integral Picatinny accessory rail on the dust cover permits the attachment of lights or lasers without compromising the pistol’s balance.
