While the Ronin™ Operator® is the result of thoroughly modern precision manufacturing, it’s undeniably traditional in its approach to quality and performance. Configured as a full-size 5″ gun and available in 9mm and .45 ACP variants, the Ronin™ Operator® features a forged steel slide and frame as well as a hammer-forged barrel for unparalleled durability and strength.

The pistol sports a beautiful two-tone finish, with a stainless steel forged frame and a forged slide of carbon steel. The flats of both the slide and frame are thoroughly polished, with an attractive matte finish applied to the rest of the pistol. In addition, the carbon steel slide features a beautiful hot salt bluing treatment that not only brings out the lustre of the steel, but also hearkens back to the earliest days of the classic 1911.

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

Strength is a core element of the Ronin 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″ and EMP model, the latter of which features a satin aluminum Cerakote® finish.

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