SA 1911's and serialization

[Scevaph]

Are all the Springfield 1911's serialized in the same group? I notice that Ronin's seem to be in the NM6xxxxx range, I saw Mil-Spec in the NM5xxxxxx range. I wonder if they just pick up where they left off no matter which variation they are making?

I know with Ronin / Ronin Operator I have seen two in the NM600xxx range , Mine and one on the cover of the Sept Handguns magazine and most, even in the old 2020 Magazine articles announcing the Ronin are NM639xxx and up.

I have a feeling that all the frames are serialized together and concurrently then built into whichever variation is being assembled.

I don’t think it works like that, if it did his would you tell if you had a Mil-Spec, Ronin if the numbers were like you think, they have to have some different designation to identify the different models.

They make models in batches; so they’ll make, say 5k Ronins, then 5k MilSpecs, then 5k TRP’s, etc.

So, yeah, they’re kinda serialized together, but that’s more of a coincidence.
