| I have the 2 tone Ronan full I bought the 1 st week they came out never fired it has the polish looking frame , thin grips , very nice , was thinking on a 4 in stainless Garrison 45 , should I trade or is the Ronan 45 about the same level , , apples for orange thing ????????? |

Differences are the Ronin is an SS frame with carbon steel slide. Front slide serrations. Garrison is all carbon steel or all SS. No front slide serrations. So its more of an aesthetic and slight materials difference between the two. Both are great pistols. I'd go with the Garrison if I were going to build/customize it just because I prefer all blued 1911s. |

My understanding the Ronin does take a mag specifically for that pistol, standard 1911 mag does not work….if I am wrong please correct me, as I have ruled out the Ronin for that reason |

But any other Ronin model will take regular 1911 mags. |
