The Commander-length 4.25 inch barrel uses a traditional bushing system and a GI-style short guide rod with a standard spring plug, preserving classic 1911 takedown while supporting a fully ramped, match-grade chamber in .45 ACP.
The forged carbon steel slide wears a polished blue finish with rear cocking serrations and a lowered/flared ejection port. Rollmarks include "RONIN" and "SPRINGFIELD ARMORY" with the crossed-cannons emblem; the chamber hood is marked "S.A. 45AUTO."
The forged lightweight alloy frame is Cerakoted in a satin aluminum tone, producing the Ronin’s signature two-tone profile. A flat, textured mainspring housing and checkered red/brown laminate grips with Springfield medallions provide a positive hold.
Sight picture is fast and practical with a red fiber-optic front and a serrated two-white-dot ledge rear sized for one-handed manipulations. The skeletonized Commander-style hammer and Springfield Gen 2 Speed Trigger complete the single-action fire control setup.
