  • Made specifically for 9mm
  • Match-grade bull barrel
  • No front strap checkering
Editor’s Note:

Designed with the 9mm cartridge in mind, the Springfield Ronin uses proprietary parts to shorten the length of the frame and action while also reducing the grip circumference. The result is a more concealable 1911 that also features improved reliability with the 9mm cartridge.

By The Numbers - Springfield 1911 Ronin EMP

Accuracy
A match-grade bull bushingless bull barrel helps squeeze out solid accuracy.
Reliability
Design changes to cater specifically to 9mm help ensure total reliability.
Customization
Grips and sights can be changed, but the lack of an accessory rail and some proprietary parts limit customization.

Already excellent 1911 ergonomics are made even better by a decreased grip circumference.
Overall
The EMP Ronin is a great option for those who want a reliable concealed-carry 9mm 1911.

final verdict

For those who want to conceal carry a 1911 platform gun, the Ronin EMP deserves consideration. Instead of simply chopping a .45 ACP gun and sticking a 9mm barrel in it, Springfield designed the Ronin EMP from the ground up with 9mm in mind. With parts correctly downscaled for the cartridge, users get a smaller, lighter, more reliable handgun. Throw in a match-grade barrel that is fully supported and an excellent trigger, and you have a winning combination. The only real downside is the lack of front strap checkering or serrations, but that is nothing a little grip tape can’t fix.
