Ruger 1911 Pic!

[Sticky]

What is a "GI" guide rod?

Not full length.

 

[andrewheath]

Do want. I have officially started saving my nickels and dimes in hopes of finding one available around late May early June.

How 'bout an "in the wild" pic?



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

My New Ruger SR1911 - M4Carbine.net Forums

I am glad to see that they didn't go overboard on the warnings.


Ruger's obligatory warning, as present on the dust cover. Not overly obnoxious.

 

[vxtip]

I wonder if that warning wil buff out anyone know if they are cast or forged?

Wonder if Ruger has any plans to release any with a blued or parkerized frame/slide? I'm not a huge fan of bling bling shiney firearms. Not that I wouldn't buy one though. It's a Ruger, got to have one!

They would be idiots not to. I have to say that im rethinking my vow to never buy another Ruger pistol........

 

[Mr.JAG]

Well, I said earlier I would be looking at other companies for a 1911.... but now I dunno. Starting to really like the setup they are offering.

Easter egg hunting Hickok45 style anyone?

With a series 70 type slide. Looks like I need another 1911 after all.

I own an HK and a Glock. If I buy one of these, Mall Ninjas Anonymous will hire Tupperware Mercenaries to kill me. HELP ME

It's on their website...www.ruger.com/

Find me the supposedly better gun that my Super Redhawk was based on and I'll buy it.

Indeed- the SRH is one of a kind.....


Thankfully

Hopefully it doesn't include too much lawyer-ese as imagined by someone else:

Full text, since it's really too small to read:

Please read your manual because guns are really dangerous and we don't want anybody to get injured or killed, which you surely will if you don't read your manual. It's important to never load your firearm, fire your firearm, or even look directly at the firearm. Do not stare at your Ruger 1911. Ruger 1911s should not be handled by pregnant women, the elderly, or children. Discontinue use of your Ruger 1911 if you experience dizziness, vertigo, nausea, slurred speech, blindness, sweating, diarrhea, or heart palpitations. Please read your manual.

LMAO.....

They have it listed on the Sturm Ruger web site now.....looks pretty much like any other decent quality midrange 1911, with suggested retail at $799 meaning it will go for less.

Good: barrel and bushing machined from same piece of bar stock - nice touch. No firing pin stop, a la series 70 Colt. Titanium firing pin and heavy firing pin spring.
Bad: cast frame - oh well, at least it's not plastic.
The usual: skeletonized hammer and trigger, beavertail grip safety, Novak lomount sites, nice checkering on mainspring housing....etc.

Looks like at least for now they're not producing multiple variants - no Commander size, no micro-concealable-whatever.

Does the world need another 1911 copy? Why not, everyone else seems to be producing one and at least it's US-manufactured, unlike RIA or Taurus or Charles Daly. Seems to be in line with Ruger's general philosophy of producing decent (if not absolute top grade) products at a moderate price point. We can't all afford Nighthawk or Les Baer or Ed Brown, and at this point I'd rather buy something out of the box that's got pretty near everything I want instead of either fooling with it myself or turning it over to a gunsmith to add the stuff I need on a 1911 (*cough*BIGGER SIGHTS*cough*). 'Course, if you have the bucks and want to buy or build the ultimate 1911.....knock yourself out and have fun! Anyway, Ruger will sell some, they'll have teething problems and they'll fix them, then sell a bunch more.

 

[IndyGunner]

Id rather buy a rock island tactical, put some hogue grips on it, and call it a day for under $450.


Who wants to take bets on when they have their first safety recalls? The only newish pistol ruger has made that hasnt had one is the lcr, a revolver, hard to mess that up.

 

[Mr.Lubie]

Impact guns is taking pre orders with a listing price of $629.99

Impact Guns - Ruger 1911, 45 ACP, Novak Sights, SS, Wood Grips

I have an order for one thru my local gun shop.I for one hope it takes off well and proves to be a nice pistol.As far as Ruger and recalls,well only time will tell but I have a feeling they didn't mess this one up

 

[ryan3326]

I might be interested. is there a release date?

 

[Mr.Lubie]

Sometime in May is all we have heard from Ruger
