Springfield Armory Ronin.....

[yetti462]

New. I'd call make sure it's still available if you decide to go get it.

I got one back in May but paid quite a bit more. $790 makes me want another but I will refrain.

I got a Ronin 45acp from him around that time out the door around $980 iirc. I had to have it though. Oh well I'll just save for another time.

If it's the full-size with the stainless frame you can get the scratch out pretty easily.

Yes it is. I thought there might be a way to remove it. Thanks for the help. I will do some research on that procedure.

Some gray or maroon scotch brite will take care of it.

Thanks drillsgt, I'll try to find some to take care of that scratch. Do you just use it plain or do you use any kind of oil/lubricant with the scotch brite?

I just use it plain, just go back and forth with the grain.

Please excuse my ignorance, but what makes a Ronin so desirable/special (other than the two-tone effect is cool)?

I have a stainless TRP, and for an out-of-the-box experience vs custom it is a nice pistol. It's very accurate and comfortable to shoot.
I have accomplished many 5" groups at 10 yds with it (no idea if that's a decent group for a pistol at that range or not, I'm a very amateur shooter).

Love my Ronin but....
Just tried my new 10 round Wilson mags in it. They are the black colored ones. VERY tough to insert ( Mags are empty, slide closed). 2 of 3 dropped free. All showed drag marks on the body above the cutout. They would get to the mag catch then have to be pushed a lot harder to get them to seat.
They worked fine in my Colt.
The new 8 rounders worked great as usual.
Ideas or should I just see if they break in?

I think its what you get for the money.
Springfield name quality. Nicely blued slide ,fiber optic sights., Nice fit and finish for a pistol that should MSRP at I think $849. I wanted the 10mm got the 9mm. I still like it.

Ahh, thanks. A good value makes sense. My TRP was $1100 which I thought was a good value and I am a happy customer.
Looks, Shoots, operates flawlessly.

Thats a great price for a TRP...

My Ronin 45acp is way more than I expected. When I first shot it I had a few 2rd bursts because I wasn't expecting the trigger to be so nice. It's absolutely awesome. The 2rd bursts were within 3" of each other also. So I think it fired pretty fast.

I'm glad to see the prices drop and availability of firearms getting better.

Stopped in my LGS and they had a Ronin in .45 the price was right about MSRP if I remember correctly. I'm still looking for a 10mm but the .45 was tempting.

I want both may get the 9mm just to have the set.

I've been looking at the Ronin for a while and you guys pushed me over the edge. Waited one day too long to hit RK... out of stock! "He who hesitates is lost."

I'm going for the 10mm before I get a 9mm. I do think I'll get the set of 3 though.
