This Springfield Armory Ronin Operator is a semi-automatic 1911-style pistol chambered in .45 AUTO designed for target shooting and personal defense. The firearm features a 5-inch stainless steel barrel and a striking two-tone aesthetic comprised of a blued steel slide and a forged stainless steel frame. The pistol is fitted with checkered wood-laminate grip panels featuring the Springfield Armory logo and a textured mainspring housing for a secure hold. The sighting system consists of a red fiber optic front sight and a white-dot rear sight. Additional features include a skeletonized trigger and hammer, an extended beavertail grip safety, and the inclusion of 2 mags. Verbatim markings on the slide include RONIN over OPERATOR on the left side and SPRINGFIELD ARMORY alongside the manufacturer’s crossed-cannons logo on the right. The frame is stamped SI GENESEO IL USA above the serial number NM 662354. The barrel is marked S.A. .45AUTO. This lot is accompanied by its original factory box with a matching serial number, a 1911 owner’s manual, a red cable lock, and a small bag containing additional fiber optic rod segments. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The pistol is in very good condition with minimal signs of handling or storage wear to the blued and stainless finishes. The bore is bright with crisp rifling. The checkered wood-laminate grips are well-maintained with no significant marks or abrasions. The action appears to function correctly when cycled manually, though we have not function-tested this firearm. Both stainless steel magazines, including the one marked MEC-GAR, appear in good working order.
