Springfield Armory Ronin AOS Semi-Automatic Pistol 45 ACP 4.25" Barrel (1)-8Rd Magazine Wood Grips Blued Steel Slide Satin Aluminum Cerakote Finish
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 featuring forged steel slides, 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. Now, Springfield Armory has taken the precision and shootability of the 1911 and added modern optics integration direct from the factory. Developed in collaboration with Agency Arms, the Agency Optic System (AOS) employs a series of plates fitting a wide variety of today's most popular optics following the RMR, Shield, Delta Point Pro, and Docter footprints.

The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for

particular item.
The 45 ACP (45 Auto) was designed by John Browning in 1905 for his prototype semiautomatic pistol that eventually became the legendary Colt 1911, using a .452-inch bullet. Browning proposed a 200-grain bullet; U.S. Army Ordnance, smarting from reports of poor performance of the 38 Long Colt in the Philippines, increased bullet weight to 230 grains for greater stopping power...and the 45 ACP as it is today was adopted in 1911. It remains an iconic and popular handgun cartridge for personal defense and competition, and was used by the U.S. military in submachine guns (Thompson and M3) through the 1970s. Although largely replaced by the 9mm for military use and the 9mm and/or 40 S&W in the law enforcement community, the 45 ACP is still used by the U.S. military and numerous law enforcement agencies in various applications. The standard load remains a 230-grain bullet at 780 to 850 fps, but lighter, faster bullets from 165 to 200 grain, delivering a bit less recoil, are also available.
