Springfield Armory's 1911 pistols are deservedly famous for their forged-material construction, top quality, exquisite accuracy and (best of all) very reasonable pricing. In this video from our friends at Shooting Illustrated, editor-at-large Joe Kurtenbach introduces you to the Springfield Armory Ronin Operator 1911 handgun and walks you through its handsome, high-end features. Although our review gun is chambered in .45ACP, it's available in 9mm as well. Enjoy!
