This week, were taking a look at the Springfield Armory Ronin 1911. A 1911 built for the backcountry, the Ronin's 10mm Auto chambering makes for the ultimate close-range defense caliber, or hog hunter. A full-sized Government frame, constructed from stainless steel, keeps the gun free from corrosion, while helping to soak up some prodigious recoil.
