10mm Beauty

[Aszerigan]

Been a long time since I've gotten excited about anything that wasn't a wheelgun. Decided to buy a Springfield Ronin 1911 in 10mm the other day and... yeah. Don't get me wrong, I have a few other 1911s, but this one is special. Streaks on the slide are fresh packing oil.

I have big hands so the slim grips and flat mainspring housing were immediately replaced. Installed a buffer to protect the frame too, just because. Installing Truglo TFO Novak style sights tomorrow, and then beating it senseless on Sunday.

High five, I like this one...

Nice. I have a Ronin in 9mm and its been great.

Have one of those on my wishlist.

I have a ronin 10. It digests everything accurately and hurls brass. It's one of my favorites.

I’ve had a silverback and enjoyed it. It’s the only pistol caliber I can use while carry but doubles as a deer round.

CONGRATS.
Nice looking gun.

 

[NoAdmiration]

I have one of these and I've shot the daylights out of it. It's a great gun.

That is a very pretty gun. Rounded trigger guard, no P-rail, forward serrations, beaver-tail, skeletonized hammer and trigger, wide thumb safety, thumb cut on grip. Just beautiful! I do take small exception to your preference for rounded MSH, but hey it IS YOUR gun. Congratulation on a beauty. Oh, I forgot: .45 ACP is the proper round for a 1911.

How did you find one available?
I've been looking for one locally since they came out.
I have the Ronin 45 I wanted the 10mm, but someone beat me to it by 15 mins. LGS guy said he had one in 45acp and I could see how it looked, felt, etc. It came home with me.

I've had it on my dealer wishlist for a few months. They happened to get one and allocated it to me. Short story, I got lucky.

Curious does the arched MS housing effect your grip?

I prefer them since I have big hands and it’s more comfortable for me. I like the extra meat of the grip in my hand.

I have an absolutely gorgeous 1911 that's from west point (they give them out to the graduating classes, and then those guys sell them to pay for Cameros), but this one looks crisp too - kinda love it.

Finally got the call today - distributor had the Ronin 45 in stock. It's on it's way. Now... what thicker grips to slap on it?

Are G10 grips thicker than the wood grips that come on the Ronin's?

 

[Aszerigan]

Are G10 grips thicker than the wood grips that come on the Ronin's?

Oh yes. The slim grips on the Ronin are much slimmer than the chunky G10s.

I know this isn’t what you mentioned wanting but, it came in an email today and I thought of you.

I've given that some thought actually.
However, I'm wanting to collect the Ronin pistols in 10mm 45acp and 9mm to have a set.
45acp is down, I'm waiting on the 10mm. After that I'll get the 9mm. That's the plan anyway.
We know how plans go when it comes to firearms.
