Since the later hi power uses ramp, does lack of ramp contribute to 1911's rep for less than stellar reliability?1911 barrels don't have any funny ramps, just a chamfer.

No clue. I just know the 1911 is rampless.Since the later hi power uses ramp, does lack of ramp contribute to 1911's rep for less than stellar reliability?
Do you if there is any difference in feeding/ reliability?A ramped barrel provides more chamber support at the base of the cartridge over a standard 1911 barrel. They are recommended for cartridges over 30K psi since the 1911 was designed for the 45 ACP @ 18k.
I've got an aluminum framed Ronin and have had zero feed issues with 9mm or .38 Super, both ramped barrels. As mentioned ramped barrels are used in aluminum framed 1911's so the frame doesn't take a beating. Also provides a fully supported chamber for those higher pressure rounds.Do you if there is any difference in feeding/ reliability?
Same holds true for the 4.25" barreled Ronin in .45 ACP, ramped and fully supported chamber…I've got an aluminum framed Ronin and have had zero feed issues with 9mm or .38 Super, both ramped barrels.

That Springfield Ronin is/was a touch over $800.00. Good looking gun, to us, but the trigger leaves a lot to be desired.If I were to pick a manufacturer I think delivers a decent 1911 for a fair price in 9mm, I'd go with a Springfield, however they really hiked their prices. May not be such a fair deal anymore...
The Springfields I have left both retail at $1500 or above so that brand can get spendy quick. However, I've owned a few that were $5-600 as well. I think Springfield makes a nice pistol.That Springfield Ronin is/was a touch over $800.00. Good looking gun, to us, but the trigger leaves a lot to be desired.
Kind of a let down when we already had a couple of FINE 9mm pistols in a CZ75 and a slightly higher-end Tanfoglio.
Yes. I have the Raider (M45 clone) and there is nothing wrong with it.Tisas can be had for 3-400 for a basic model. Unlike the RIA they have forged frames and slides, and only one part is MIM unlike a lot of competitors, even more expensive american ones.
I've always been curious how the Jericho shoots compared to a Hi-Power or CZ75. They are all three related designs. Between the CZ75 and the Hi-Power, the CZ shot better for me but I only kept the Hi-Power because history.I respect high powers and it's cz-75 derivative but don't like the looks of either. Love the looks of cz-97 and Jericho that have full dust cover or whatever it's called. Jericho's ergos/how it fits in your hand are superb Imo. Have never found a gun with a more comfortable or natural grip. Mild trigger job brought the SA trigger down to 4 lbs. on mine.
Good question. I would have to shoot them side by side to compare I think. One thing I don't like about Jericho is it has same trigger (same trigger I think) shape as cz 75. I don't care about the big curve (up and down) but I do care about the curve accross the trigger (left to right). I like a wide flat landing pad that makes it easy to have perfect trigger control. Sig p938 was like that (curved) and it drove me nuts until I put a wide flat trigger shoe on it. Now it's great. I haven't been able to find a cz 75 trigger shoe as yet. I wish all manufacturers had no curve (left to right) and had nice wide triggers. Makes a night and day difference to me. Love shooting the Jericho though other than that....I've always been curious how the Jericho shoots compared to a Hi-Power or CZ75. They are all three related designs.

Excellent analysis. Triggers make an enormous difference. What is comfortable for one shooter may not be for another.Good question. I would have to shoot them side by side to compare I think.

Spend that kicker…Tbh, I'm having a hard time finding what I'm looking for. The ones I want are all $750-$1050. So I think I'm gonna pass. I sure do like the tri-star (metro arms) guns and the Iver Johnson eagle xl 10mm though. I just wish it didn't cost so much. Cost puts it into another category for me.

Mine went back into taxes and I still ended up paying more.Spend that kicker…
If you want a 9mm in a single-action, why not check out a HiPower? Best design of it's type with a long and proven track record in war and peace.I have seen Girsan but are there any other ones out there? Having a Walther 1911 in .22 I'm astounded by the quality for a less than $300 firearm. So that got me wondering are there any other good quality 1911s out there in 9mm? Not interested in Taurus or 45ACP at this time. Possibly could go for a 10mm but most interested in 9mm.
This Walther blows me away. Same size and similar weight as regular 1911. Pic from internet cuz I'm too lazy to take good photo. Would love to find a 9mm equivalent of this if it exists (I know $ woudl be $400-$600 though probably).
Great guns but I don't like the look of them.If you want a 9mm in a single-action, why not check out a HiPower? Best design of it's type with a long and proven track record in war and peace.
Ha, glad to see someone else share this thought! I've handled them, shot them and know they are extremely reliable. Never owned one because I don't care for their looks.Great guns but I don't like the look of them.
