Has anyone seen or heard about the new Ruger SR1911? I just saw some photos of it, it looks really nice! I was wondering if anyone knew how much it was going to sell for?
Suggested retail $799.99 so should sell most places for around $600
will be released sometime in May but don't expect to get one till June or July as there are already a boat load of preorders
I will have one by July
well we compared the SR1911 to a Kimber Pro Crimson Carry II & the Ruger shot as well as the Kimber using open sites to make a fair comparison I do lik4e colts the best had a colt 1911 officer's model
but I think for the price Ruger has done it very well
I "grew up" on 1911's in the Army. I was infantry at first, even did a stint as company armorer fixing rifles, pistols, etc. Fired plenty of Colts during my time and even picked up a Remington Rand M1911A1 with a WWII vintage since then. Everything I've heard from folks buying the Ruger 1911 has been positive, not a single thing negative. Have not had the privilege to fire Ruger's version, so I cannot provide any 'personal' input.
I use my 1911 as backup home defense. One thing about a .45 ACP - one hit from a 230 grain hollow point and the other guy isn't going to be getting back up.
So true
I alway's liked the .45 cal I have had a few but being a small frame guy & small hands the 1911 fits me the best I had the old ruger P90 was a brick way to big for my small hands. I had a 1911 colt officers model compact I really liked but seemed to stove pipe a lot was well used but rough time & needed money so it was sold
I am just glad it is hunting season because I would be going nuts right now waiting for it to arrive also going to look into a Crimson laser site for it. really like it on my fathers Kimber
gfd2, I have a Kimber custom royal and a Dan Wesson Pointman Patriot in big frames 45 cal. I haven't shot the Pointman but have run some ammo through the Kimber and it shoots nice. Hopefully your new 45 arrives asap!
Me either HM but the wait is over picked it up last Friday night.
just a beautiful gun shoots very nice just have to get used to the old heavy 1911 Ruger did very well with this one
Shoots fantastic nice crisp trigger (adjustable too)
I do have to play with it some more
I haven't had a 1911 or a full size pistol for that matter for a while
but will post some more pics may not be till after hunting season unless it happens to end early :biggrin:
