Ronin 9mm

Well I have been using my new ronin for 2 weeks now .
At 1st it gave me a lot of failure to go into battery with the 9# spring but I went to the range prepared and took a 12.5# recoil spring as well but it was still happening so had a closer look and my assumption was the bushing and the barrel swell were to tight .
So I wiped the oil off of it and ran it dry for a couple of mags and re oiled it and was only getting this problem every second mag .
So now after 600 rounds and 3 range trips I am happy to say the last 300 rounds have been flawless .
And So far with little load development this 2 groups at 25 yards one handed getting POI where I want it 1st group was left and a bit high and around 4 inches


And after a couple of adjustments I had a nice 6 o'clock
POI at around 2 1/2" for steel plates in the next range and had a ball

Anyway I'm as happy as a pig in chit .

Cheers

Anyway I forgot the obligatory pictures .

UIT or TSSF is NOT usually shot with 9mm. Shot with .22 or .17. The difference in pistols is massive you know that. I never considered ISSF as pistol shooting. But that's me.

Back when I left the sport that was the year 2000 just about every competitor in the state was using 38 Calibre or 32 s&w long calibre for the centerfire match with a lot of them using Walther gsp & such funny thing is I used to use an old half worn-out model 14 Smith and Wesson and I was two grades ahead of most of them.
that day was just practise and I happen to have a 9mm they also shoot the centerfire match with a 22 it's known as sport pistol.
and I have to disagree with you there you don't consider that pistol shooting because when I got out of issf and headed towards ipsc service match and steel it was a walk in the park for me years ago when we tried to have a couple of ipsc shooters shoot Precision it was a nightmare the amount of bad habits they developed was a suprise they could not even shoot a c grade score let alone b or a .
in ipsc they weren't too bad after several weekends of travelling to our club and shooting precision three of them went back and promptly broke grade one twice got to start with the foundations and go from there .
Anyway I'm now back in a sport that I should never have left as I thoroughly enjoy it the main disappointment is the club I'm in and was in has gone from issf and service match to virtually only shooting cowboy action now that there is embarrassing but I suppose the more licences and competitors regardless of discipline the better...

I've been waiting for a 5" Ronin in .45 to become available at my LGS for a couple months now. Not sure what the hold up is.

Finally landed a 5" .45 Ronin. Pictured here with it's smaller brother (Kimber)

Yes, even here in Australia they make the front cover.
