Bought this Ronin I think 3 years ago, this gun punches way above its weight. Pictured first is what it looked like when I purchased it. Since, I had the sharp edges knocked off, a mag well installed and then hard chromed to finish and some Herretts grips. Hard chroming and edge smoothing was done by Bob Cogan at Accurate Plating/Cogan Customs. He finished by setting the trigger pull at 3.5lbs.

And probably better than many of the newer models at that.

Just purchased at my LGS, Four Seasons in Woburn, MA on 11/25. Gave it a much needed wicked hot bath in the ultrasonic and it came out like new! Now to get rid of those buggery ugly grips...

Not sure if I posted this or not. Recently purchased 1981 Colt Service Model ACE with the original box and all the box candy...

I tried to low-ball my lgs the other day. He wouldn't take it, but he gave me a good deal on this one. I've been admiring it for a few months.
I polished the slide a little. I can't wait to take it apart to polish the rest of it. It's shooting good from the box. It's probably going to be a tack driver.
I love Kimbers more every day.

My last 1911 "experience" was in 1967-68. This Operator is a far cry from the Korea-era issue I had then, but in some ways the same and very familiar. Inaugurated it with 250 rounds of Federal .45/230 - not a single hiccup. I hate using any handgun where I have to break my grip in order to release the magazine - a MidwayUSA oversize mag release took care of that problem quite nicely.

Does your Colt Ace documentation show Indianapolis Sports Headquarters, 1201 N. Arlington Indianapolis, Indiana as a warranty location? I was the manager of that store for a few years in the late 70s and early 80s.
