Springfield Prodigy

[JJE76]

I picked out 250 rounds some Sig 115 gr and Blaser 124 gr weather permitting will shoot some steel tomorrow

Look forward to hearing your report. My next pistol will be a 2011 looking for a reason not to drop 2800 on a Stacatto, but they are so smooth shooting.

You're almost to the Wilson at that point.

 

[Wyo79]

Nope but I have one of these :



I do run the Springfield mags with it though. No issues so far.
I can vouch for the mags that's my 2cents!

Okay, really hate to do this, BUT. I'm a Springfield fan in general. We recently picked up a Ronin. I guess that's Ronin is always 9mm? Full size. Attractive weapon. I don't understand why, for $800.00, they won't put a full size guide rod in it? The trigger is okay, but not as good as my entry lever Kimber Stainless
II from 2011. And for Christ's sake, a GD cheesy little zippered pouch!? Single layer, zero padding, no extra mag pouch sewn in? WTH?

And for what you paid for yours? Same cheesy pouch! Makes me glad all my buys, except that ronin, have been old guns in the last seven years or so.

I was with my buddy when he broken his new one in, about 300 rounds. I think one FTE or FTF at around 240 and then good since. Smooth shooting. I ran a mag through it and it was nice. He was quite happy. He'd seen the bad reviews, but he racked the "hell out of the slide" before taking it out. He said that was key in his opinion.

Love me some Ronin, for under $800, just can't go wrong. This is my bi-caliber example (9mm/.38 Super)…

Hit the range ran 250 rounds of some 115 gr Sig some 124 gr PMC 124 brass no issues at all she acted hungry. The only issue was my fault did not check the rear sight/plate and came loose but has since been blue loctite down I do not really go for optics . The target was from a 2-26 round mag dump and believe me it likes to run fast and made short work of a 50 round box of 9mm . The mags work great easy enough to load and lock securely and at $44 a pop that is not bad .

Well is it worth the $1500?

I am pleased with my purchase and will say I do not feel disappointed at all. I am thinking about another for my wife so yes well worth it.

Something else. That kind of money, and only ONE mag? We didn't even look at what Springfield wanted, we just got a MecGar.
You enjoy that fine gun! I've got a couple, what I call fine guns, price wise. The Kimber and a Tanfoglio. These days, "fine Gun" in my book is going to be 70 years old, or older I think.

Heck yea they used to make them good back in the day most companies had standards ! I got two mags with mine and purchased the extra 2x26 round magazines and not going to complain about $44 ea that is a steal now and they worked fine .

Yup, have both the .45 and 9mm. Velzey did a caliber conversion on the 9mm, fitting a Wilson Match barrel and tuning so it can switch between 9mm and .38 Super. Two barrels, two sets of mags, two calibers in one Ronin

Was a project I wanted to do for a long time and the Ronin just presented itself as the perfect platform for such a project.
