Been wanting a Ronin Operator since it was first announced. Terrible timing. The launch sales intersected with panic sales and here l am, a year later, with no Ronin.
I want a full-size (Gov't Model) in .45 but they're ALL unobtainium at this point. Beautiful gun. So drool-y

I'm in the same boat. I really think that pistol will be a nice acquisition.

I hold no grudges against the 9mm. It's a good cartridge and the last several of years have been good to it's effectiveness.
I understand why many would love and buy a 1911 in 9mm.

I'm cool with it just being a .45.

When looking at the business end of a 45, schit starts looking grim real quick.

I had a 10mm. Wouldn't mind a 38 Super.

I believe any business end is a crappy view. :s0090:

Thinking about getting a RIA 1911A2 NC! Yep I know that it's HC but to me it's normal capacity not high capacity

John would undoubtedly say if you want to shoot 9mm, get a Browning Hi-Power.

I heard that he regarded it as "fixing his earlier mistakes".......

jus' sayin'

Carried a 1911 in the Navy. Really enjoyed qualifying with it. But, when it came time to purchase a handgun for self-defense, I looked at the math and chose a Glock.

Still, I enjoy shooting my only 1911 at the range.

But I had to get one in .40 S&W just to upset the 1911 purists.

I'd like to hear the story behind that one.

Took the Ronin out today to the range. Great day. The Ronin exceeded my expectations in every area. The trigger is around 3 pounds with live ammo as well. No place for fumble fingers. It will hit a double tap faster than you can sneeze. Able to consistently ring the 25 yard gong. Its a 1911. Doesn't matter that it zips out 9mm. I am liking it to be sure. No problems. No issues. Just good clean range fun :s0132:
