What are your practice ammo preferences? I am going to get 10 boxes to a case of 9mm 124gr FMJ. I like the US assembled Norma 124gr TMJ at 1200 fps but it is out of stock everywhere. I can get the Hungarian Norma (1181fps from a 6" barrel) and for even less I can get Sellior & Bellot 124gr...

My Ronin (9mm 5") shows some light peening on the slide stop notch. Very slight but it can be felt. Questions: Is this common? Causes? Is it self limiting? Leave it alone or address? Lightly tap raised material back flat or stone and touch up? I have had one range session with this one...

OK; I got a lot of good info from the Recoil spring post so I thought I would ask about magazine springs. 9mm 1911 magazines, I have all 9 round magazines; stock Springfield and Wilson 920 (same as CMC) flush. I figure I'll need to replace springs down the road. one of the Wilson's first as...

A question again on recoil springs. In particular Recoil springs in a 9mm full size 1911. Per Wolff Gunsprings: COLT 1911 FACTORY RECOIL SPRING NOTES 1. Factory rating for super .38 & 9mm is 14 Lbs. 2. Factory rating in .40 S&W is 19 Lbs. 3. Factory rating for the Colt .38 Spl...

I want to get 1, maybe two more magazines for my Springer Ronin. I currently have two 9 round SA stock mags with the base pad and one Wilson 920 flush 9 round magazine. I like the flush magazine for carry and looks. I am considering another Wilson 920 ( same as a McCormick flush base magazine)...

I was just looking at the various SA offerings again and I noticed that SA lists a 1/10 rifling twist in the SA-35, Hellcat, Echelon etc BUT lists a 1/16 rifling twist for their 1911's. Any ideas why they are using a different twist in the 1911's that the SA-35 and others? I did send them a...

Why is there a 3 oz weight difference between a Ronin and a Garrison? Both full size 9mm; The Ronin lists at 41 oz while the Garrison lists at 38 oz. Both forged steel frame, slide and barrel. about the only big differences I see are the sights (Tac Rack and FO vs Novak 3 dot) and the...

has anyone tried one of these: https://wilsoncombat.com/frontstrap-checkered-stainless.html Good, Bad ? Problems?

A couple of questions again; this time about the magazine release lock. one; On my Ronin ( an early Ronin Operator 5" ) the release lock is blued. On most photos I see they are stainless. Does this mean mine was changed in it's past or does it just reflect what was in the parts bin when it...

Among the few magazines I have for my 9mm Ronin I have one Wilson Combat ( # 920 flush base magazine) I notice the Wilson magazine is easier to load and it is easier to depress the follower than the Stock Springfield ones, all are 9 round mags. The Wilson was a gift and I don't know it's...

Since getting back to 1911's and getting my Ronin I have been looking at older conversations and seeing a lot of back and forth about MIM parts. Kimber's bad because of all the MIM, ditto for RI, Springfield, Colt, Ruger. MIM, when done correctly, makes a good part. It has been used in...

I just bought some Norma 9mm 124 Grain hardball (Range and Training ammo). I expected to find it was made in Hungary (GECO) and I expected 1181 FPS and FMJ listed on the box. Instead; is lists 1200 FPS and Totally metal jacketed and the box says assembled in USA with US and foreign...

Those of you with more experience with the SA 1911's. Are you having good results with the Titanium firing pins and stock springs? Mine a new to me Ronin 5" 9mm ( early one marked Ronin Operator); I believe it has a 9# recoil, 23# hammer and xxpower FP springs If not stock how are your's set...

So I have a question: 1911 9mm full size : Springfield has both plain base magazines and slam base magazines. Why do the plain base ones list for $6.99 more than the slam base ones? 37.00 vs 43.99

Are all the Springfield 1911's serialized in the same group? I notice that Ronin's seem to be in the NM6xxxxx range, I saw Mil-Spec in the NM5xxxxxx range. I wonder if they just pick up where they left off no matter which variation they are making? I know with Ronin / Ronin Operator I have...

OK, here goes New to me Springfield Armory Ronin (Early marked Ronin Operator) 5" 9mm my preferred ammo is 124 gr Hardball and for serious duty 124 gr Speer Gold Dots probably +p but whichever I can get as there is only 70 FPS between std and +p. I believe the Factory springs are 9" Recoil...

Hi all; I have a RONIN 5" 9mm that I believe is an early one. Marked RONIN Operator and S/N NM600xxx. In a question to SA they told me it was manufactured 12/2018 but I thought the RONIN's came out in 2020?? Anyway, it seems to be a darned nice 1911. Not a fan of the thin grips but that...
