I've been carrying a Kimber Ultra CDP since 2002. I shoot it regularly and have yet to have a malfunction. I also have both 5" and 4.25" Ronin in 45ACP; I like both of those, but not for EDC.

Anyone know why they stopped production?

I was referring to a 1911 akin to the Kimber Ultra CDP.

If Kimber can make a compact .45, why can't Springfield?

I enjoyed the article Roy, but firearms involved not withstanding, the FBI agents involved used somewhat questionable tactics. A variety of firearms were involved, including .38 special, .357 magnum, 12 gauge shotguns and 9mm pistols. The bottom line is eight FBI agents had difficulty dealing...

I have limited experience with the M1. I was able to purchase one through the DCM program in late 1985. I have an International Harvester with all matching parts and an LMR barrel. It's fun to shoot and amazingly accurate. My only experience with the M14 was in boot camp and ITR. At that time...

I've had my Ronin 10mm just over six months now. It took a while to find one, but it is now my favorite 10. I also own a Ronin 45 and it is second only to my Kimber CDP 45. What's changes of getting SA to make a 10 or a 45 compact with a three inch barrel?

Well, I guess Springfield finally made another run of 10mm Romin. I had bid on two different guns on Gun Broker and was outbid on both. I finally found one on Guns.com and snatched it up. Yesterday I took it out and ran 100 rounds of CCI Blazer through it. As with the two 45s, it functioned...

I'm still wondering if Springfield is ever going to make any more 10mm Ronin pistols. Can't find one anywhere.

Today I took both Ronins out and ran 100 rounds each through them. The ammo used was 230gr FMJ from LAX ammumition. No issues with either pistol or the ammo. The only comment I can provide is that the ammo was very dirty. I don't know what powder they use in their reloads, but it was dirty...

As luck would have it, I was in a local gunshop just browsing to see what they had in stock. There in the case was a 4.25 Ronin 45ACP priced at $795, brand new. I was shocked to see one below retail, but I didn't ask too many questions before getting out the credit card. Like the 5 inch, it is...

10mm or 45?

I got out yesterday with the Ronin and my Kimber Stainless II 10mm to do some sight adjustments. Both guns functioned flawlessly. That was not the case with the Kimber when I first took it out. It had to go back to the factory for some warranty work but no problems now. Sights adjusted and...

I was coming off an off road trip into Enterprise Utah and spied a local hardware store. I went in just because I like hardware stores, and the rural ones have more interesting things. There sat the Ronin in a small display case. The employee told me it had just come in, and I bought it.

I got out today for the break in of the pistol. First I should mention that I like the included magazine. It's smoother to load than the Kimber and Colt magazines I took along. I fired about 80 rounds, 60 were CCI Blazer 230Gr FMJ, and about 20 Remington High Velocity 185Gr JHP. While firing the...
