ordered a new gun

[stonegraham]

Seems like I haven't bought a gun in years. I reckon I was looking for something to pop up that caught my eye.....and it just did. I just ordered the Springfield Armory Ronin with the 4.25" barrel in 45ACP. After spending days and days looking at Commander size 1911's I discovered two things.
First of all, there don't seem to be many guns of any kind available. Damndest thing I ever saw.
Secondly, it takes quite a bit of study when deciding on which gun to buy. There really are several good choices in the Commander size 1911. Prices are being held at or even above MSRP. I felt good to get this for $50 under MSRP. Ammo is scarce as well. But, if all goes well, I should have the gun the end of this week, and I happen to have a few rounds of ammo at the house. Two friends of mine have recently bought new pistols and want to come to the house to shoot. I guess their purchases got my interest up. It has been fun and even tiring the last several days looking at so many guns.

Congrats on your new 1911! What were your top 3 before you went with Springfield?

Here is some ammo if you don’t mind the price https://www.natchezss.com/federal-champ ... 00-ct.html

And welcome to the forum

When the Ronin was announced I told my local gun shop to let me know when they get a full size in 45 ACP in. Still waiting for one thanks to covid. But that's alright. Sure I could buy one online but not in a rush.
