Springfield Armory recently added to the Ronin Operator 1911 line with a 10 mm variant. The newest Operator features a fiber-optic front sight, deep cut rear sight, G2 Speed Trigger, and wood laminate grips. It's an ideal handgun for personal defense, hog hunting, or applications when you might need to fend off bears.

The newest Ronin Operator features a 5-inch, hammer-forged barrel with 1:16-inch twist, as well as a forged steel slide and frame. The 10 mm pistol comes with a single eight-round magazine as well as standard controls for the 1911, including thumb safety and rear grip safety with beavertail design. Crossed Cannon logos are found both on the red wood laminate grips and slide. MSRP on the new Operator is $849.
