 Hey there friends, thanks for checking in. Today we're looking at a new release from Springfield Armory called the Ronin EMP. EMP stands for Enhanced Micro Pistol. You'll notice they have a whole series of handguns in the EMP line. They also have a series of handguns in the Ronin line. And here's my 10 millimeter Ronin. It's a beautiful looking handgun. Fire is outstanding. This one's a 10 millimeter, but they make a whole bunch of Ronin's. And when this was introduced, it was met with wide approval. People love it. It's priced right. And the Ronin EMP is no different. Now they took the Enhanced Micro Pistol and the Ronin combined it together and made a Ronin EMP. And here it is. Introduced November 29th, 2021. I like that grip right there. It's a sharp looking grip. You know, nice touch of class there with the diamond checkering through. A little smoother right there. Springfield Insignia. A nine round magazine and that gloss on the slide. That's actually a gloss Cerico matte black finish on top and a forged aluminum frame. Has that silver look to it with that gloss black. It's just such a sharp looking pistol. I love the Ronin's. I speak very highly of the Ronin's because they shoot so nice. They look beautiful, but it's also a little bit cheaper than the EMP's. Now if you look at the EMP's Enhanced Micro Pistol series, you'll see that they go right around $1,100. This has a lower MSRP. Now if you go with this, you'll get the one nine round mag, a soft case, all the paperwork and everything else with an MSRP of $849. And that is, what's that $250 savings from the EMP nine millimeter. I just think it's sharp, but it's three ounces lighter and it's a good looking pistol. Now I've taken it to the range on a couple occasions and it is a nice shooting handgun. Just as fine as my 10 millimeter and I'm sure the 45's in the Ronin line, but the EMP, well I checked out the EMP concealed carry contour and that is a nice handgun. There's no doubt about that. I really enjoyed that at the range. You want to talk about accuracy, check out that handgun, but this delivers it just the same with a three inch bull barrel. And I was pleasantly surprised. You know when you get a sub compact handgun, you're like, well, you know, the accuracy, I expected to be good. I should shoot it well. Well, with this, I can testify firsthand. It was outstanding a couple times. I've had it to the range already. The three dot sights, okay, tactical ledge right there, dots in the back. They are serrated with a fiber optic front sight and a trigger that I am measuring at five pounds and I love the 1911's. I just, I'm just a fan. Look at that reset right there. Five pound trigger pull with nine rounds of nine millimeter. It's got that nice flat main spring texturing right there, extended beaver tail, skeletonized hammer and trigger, bull barrel, bushingless. Okay. That is made out of forged steel. The frame is made out of forged aluminum. And if we look right there, I hope that'll pick up that says EMP. And right there it says Ronin. And Ronin, the Ronin line actually has gained quite a reputation throughout the last couple years. I know a lot of people that says, you know, the Ronin is one of my best shooting 1911's and I fully understand. All right. So here we have an unloaded Ronin EMP one pound. What's that one pound? There's 26 and three eighths ounces. If we go with the nine rounds, we'll see that it's at 30 and a quarter. Throw that round in there. 30 and five eighths ounces. So about 30 and a half ounces loaded with 10 rounds is what this is weighing in at. But it also has a little different disassembly. It's real easy. So let's go ahead and we'll disassemble it, put it back together and come back and talk more about the new 1911 Ronin EMP. To disassemble the Ronin EMP, it's not too hard. We'll go ahead and remove the magazine, show clear. And you'll notice that there is a cutout right there. I'm going to move the slide back and then from the opposite side, push this pin forward and then go ahead and remove it. At that point, the slide will come right off of the frame. You'll notice there is a dual recoil spring, all steel guide rod, but right there is a recoil spring guide rod bushing. So that'll have to be removed. We'll go ahead and take this out and you can see it came out a bit. And there it is. Move the link forward and out comes the barrel, the front end. And there is your three inch bull barrel. I'm gonna go ahead and wipe it down through a couple drops of oil in and we'll reassemble it. Let's go ahead and reassemble. We'll put the barrel in and get those barrel lugs seated. We want the link totally forward. I'm going to keep this recoil assembly together and place it in so that it fits on top of the barrel where those cutouts are. And then I'm going to move the link forward so that when I put the slide back onto the frame, that link will be aligned properly. And if I look, I can see that it is. So I'll put this pin in. You may have to move the slide forward or back a little bit depending on if you have it perfectly set. I'll go ahead and get this seated right there. And there it is. Reassembled. Simple process. I put the Ronin EMP in a full-size 1911 holster and you can see that it will fit in there. Just fine. Nice and snug fit. Although not necessarily ideal. I'm just making the point that it will fit in a 1911 holster. But there it is. A new release from Springfield Armory called the 1911 Ronin EMP. A beautiful looking and shooting handgun. I think this is going to sell well, especially when people get it in their hands. They'll see and feel that it is very lightweight. It's a nice shooting handgun. That bowl barrel is pretty sharp. Cuts down on the recoil. Like no recoil at that dual recoil spring. And it just is a straight shooter. What can I say? I was just so impressed with my shooting impressions with it that just had to brag it up a little bit and speak the truth because I shot this very well.
