1911 Ronin™ Handguns

Featuring an unyielding commitment to strength, reliability and quality, the Ronin™ Operator® 1911 combines a legacy of service with the features modern shooters demand.

Strength is a core element of the Ronin Operator line, with all models offered featuring forged steel slide, hammer-forged barrels and forged frames. The steel slide features a beautiful hot salt bluing finish that contrasts nicely against the forged stainless steel frame of the 5″ model and the forged alloy frame of the 4.25″ model, the latter of which features a satin aluminum Cerakote® finish. Both the 5″ and the 4.25″ models are offered in either 9mm or .45 ACP chamberings.

Designed and built for a lifetime of service, the Ronin Operator family of pistols offers 1911 enthusiasts a highly refined handgun with unparalleled durability and strength.

The two-tone pistol, available in both 9mm or .45 ACP, features a hot salt blued forged slide with a lightweight satin Cerakote-finished forged alloy frame. This is a pistol built to deliver a lifetime of service.
