1911 Types

No; your barrel is measured with the action closed from the muzzle to the breech face; usually with a cleaning rod or dowel.

Fair enuf Hans, but on the Ronin, the Hood touches the breech face, thus the 2 measurements would be the same (at least with my super-accurate hand-held ruler up to 1/16". No idea if the hood rests on the breech with other models

Sorry Annihilator, I had no idea it was called a hood, but the "hood" is where my Ronin is measured from, to the muzzle, to a 5" full-size 1911 designation. The OP hinted about asking where to start the measurement (since it is not obvious that a 5" 1911 barrel is really only 4" + length of chamber and hood).

i don't know how you or the website did this, but you are not quoting me, you are quoting @Jfal

Yeah…for some reason, it quoted another post by you as well…it looks like when I edited out the text in your post, it got rid of Jfal ‘s tag and kept yours…

The internet giveth, and the internet taketh away…

My first was a RO Elite -- great pistol. My second was .45 Ronin. I like them both. As far as answering someone elses question, fine with me (thought I was being ignored).

nah, many times, many original posters get side tracked...or derailed.

happens to me......nearly every day.....especially from my Mrs., the kids, the grand kids, the tropical fish,, etc.

Yes, they all rest on the breach on 1911’s
