Ruger 1911 Pic!

Ruger® SR1911™ Centerfire Pistol Models



MSRP of $800, whaddya think, $700 street sound about right?

Maybe even less, I've seen Rugers up to $200 cheaper (at Cabela's of all places) than what the Ruger website lists them.


I got my Super Redhawk at around 775 with tax and the Ruger page for it lists those (all models) at 999

RUGER C/S

I've never used Ruger's C/S. I'm always afraid they'll "fix" what I've made correct. LCI, Slingshot mod, Magazine disconnect, Volquartsen trigger group, BBL rechambered, hammer modified to appropriate trigger pull and bolt modified so subsonics work 100%, extractor tuned so it actually holds the shell against the bolt. Little things like that. So my 10/22's and MK II and III's get fixed at home. They should have built a good "Quality" gun to start with.

How does that compare to your price on the Springfield Range Officer?

It would be nice to have a apples to apples price comparison from the same store...

Last RO we had in went for $809.95, IIRC.

Yep, they will replace all of that with stock parts when they send it back.

Nice....I am sure there will be some issues though. There always seems to be the first go around.

If this was truly the first go-round, I'd be inclined to agree, but the 1911 design is nothing if not "mature". There's no excuse for Ruger to not get it right, right outta the gate.

Man, that's pretty awesome! I for one will never get tired of everybody and their uncle coming out with 1911s. Give me more and more options to choose from of that obsolete, heavy, not enough round carrying, ESHS causing piece of classic 'Merican design!

For me, the only thing left to decide is if I would prefer Ruger's try at a 1911 over the Remington R1, which is the 1911 that I've got my heart set on owning this year. I'm looking forward to figuring that one out!

I would sure take a long look at a Ruger 1911 and buy one if the opportunity presented itself for the right price. Sometimes I feel like I should own stock in Ruger since I currently have a .44 Redhawk, a .44 Super Redhawk, a .480 Super Redhawk, 2 Mk II slabsides, a Mk II SS 10", a 10/22 heavy barrel target 22, 2 Mini-30s and 2 Mini-14s. I personally do not care too much about the new model semis even if they did not have recalls on some of them.

I will be adding the Ruger 1911 to my short list.

 

[abrewer15]

I need this gun. Anyone know what caliber? .45?

 

[BulkAmmo]

@abrewer15 - 45 acp - I haven't read any other chamberings being offered.

I'm going to get a ISSC SCAR 22 clone first but the Ruger SR1911 is my next handgun purchase. Looks wise it reminds me of a Dan Wesson Valor. I'm hoping it's a poor mans version of the Valor. That would be perfect.

I'm really loving the limited slide markings. That's my one issue with the R1.

Okay, since it hasn't been suggested yet... how about some price wars from site sponsors?

 

[85t5mcss]

What next, a Glock 1911? Got you thinking now, a mass produced plastic 1911.

Based on the wholesale pricing I'm seeing, we will be running them at around $649.95.

Yeah, if any one of the local guys wants to sell it at $600 I'll put an order in today...

How 'bout an "in the wild" pic?

From this thread on M4C about the gunwriter range session Ruger held awhile back:

You got a purdy...magwell

 

[M67]

Can anyone tell or has read: full length guide rod or GI?

One thing I do like about it is that it has no front cocking grooves

[deadsquirrel]

[HDSilvrStreak]

What is a "GI" guide rod?
