Local shop has them on sale presently, I couldn’t resist being a sucker for 1911s for the last 10 years, bought a 5” 9MM, paid $699 so I figured it was hard to go to far wrong with it, was wondering if you guys could share your experiences with them good or bad.

Tag for info, I'm also thinking about a Ronin but with the AOS.

My older eyes seem to need the red dot now.

I am starting to agree with you about the eyes but I am not quite there yet.

picked up a 10MM Wednesday at LGS I bought off Lockedandloaded.

Hit the range on the way home.

Loaded three mags with my reloads.

180 hard cast and 180 XTPs over 9.0 gr of Power Pistol.

factory mag experienced failure to feed 3-4 times.

Trip Cobra Mag same.

Wilson mag had no stoppages.

I was in a hurry so that's all I got.

Fit and finish look good, very tight.

I posted a brief review in the Springfield section.  My purchase was a 9 mm Commander with AOS and the Gear Pak which included a dot.  It has been 100% at this point.

I swapped a few things around:

Been looking for a LW Ronin Commander length in 9mm to replace my EDC steel frame .45 on bad back days.

Had the 9mm and 10mm version, both were very solid and reliable.  The 9mm one was very easy to shoot, very soft.

Is it just me or do these guns seem very dry? Not much oil out of the box at all, the display model I handled seemed dry as well as the one I actually got.

Yes I have some lube but it just seems like these guns are obviously dryer than others

Nice looking gun, I considered a 10MM but mainly went with the 9 due to price, had they had a 10 I would have got it for sure.

Locked & Loaded and Tombstone usually have good deals on them.  The Gear Pac is a pretty good deal; the dot that comes on the gun isn't super sturdy, but you can put on a Holosun 407/507K without changing plates and it comes with 4 mags and a pretty nice nylon bag.

I bought one a few weeks ago. 9mm two tone 4.25" have not taken it to the range yet...

I like mine.  Nothing wrong with it other than what messed up.  I guess they stake the bushings and when I took them out to replace them with the vz version I stripped the holes. Had to get oversized bushings and tap the holes.  It worked out okay.  I definitely don’t like the trend of shipping 1911s with slim grips.

What's the finish on the sides of the slide? Brush finished blued?

It's hard to tell from the pics...

It is not the finish of a Colt Commander.  I would describe it as a cheap blue with no polish.  Blue collar gun.

Mine. 9mm. Bought back before they had the AOS system. Its been 100%. I have a AOS plate and plan on getting it milled later this year.

Had 2 of the Ronin .45 Commanders. Never could warm to them.  Nice and reliable.
Got a Colt LW Commander and it has been my go-to carry .45

I bought a 9mm SA Ronin a few weeks ago and have taken it to the range twice so far. No hiccups ups at all. Pleasure to shoot and very accurate. I'm 79 and wanted a 9mm vs my SA Loaded .45.

Update on my 9mm Commander AOS.  I shot two matches with it and halfway thru the second the MIM ejector snapped at the front leg.  Probably a few hundred rounds total.  The pistol had a dead trigger intermittently.  I fitted a WC ejector and back to the trials.
