    Default Ruger SR1911

    Does anybody out there have a Ruger SR1911 or have heard anything good/bad about it?

    They are in very short supply as demand has grossly exceeded Ruger's ability to produce them. Production has been ramped up, but that won't affect availability for several months.

    I don't personally own one. That said, absolutely everything I've read has been praise for the gun. From what I can tell, it's an $800+ gun being sold for $650. Look at the Springfield or Remington you can get for that price and compare it to the Ruger (we'll not go into the Taurus and derail the thread). If I saw one at a shop I'd buy it on the spot.

    I have seen reviews on youtube and they all seem pretty positive. Im looking to get my first 1911 and it is a pretty nice looking firearm. A gun store around here is selling it for $629. Plus i am selling them my Ruger LCP with CT laser and 3 holsters for $300. So I can get the SR1911 for $329...but i am also looking at their Kimber's and Springfield's as well.

    I have the SR1911 and absolutely love it. I paid just a little over 6 for mine right after they came out last year. I have over 1000 rounds through it with not a problem. Its my every day carry gun. If you can find one in stock IMO buy it.

    As stated above, reviews that i have heard have all been good. I have yet to see one on the shelf. When i do, it will go on my card immediately. I have been wanting a 1911 for some time now, and at that price with good reviews and good looks, it might as well be that one.

    It's funny right after i read these posts i emailed the gun shop and asked if they had any in stock. He replied yes and no. They had one in stock just as a display piece. They have over 50 people waiting on backorder for them. And this is a pretty small shop. Looks like I wont be getting a Ruger this weekend.

    This pistol is about the same price as the Ruger.

    BCM and Glock...for a bigger pile of 'cold dead hands' brass.

    I've had mine since September. I paid too much--701--for mine, but love it and would have gone to 800 without hesitation. Now that I've owned it for a while and put about 500rds throught it, I'm more convinced than ever that it's the perfect 1911, at least for my purposes--competition and home defense. I ordered more Ruger 8rd mags--love the look, fit and finishi of these, and it's a permanent part of my arsenal. I recommend the gun highly, even over the more expensive 1911s and the comparables.

    Thats another bad thing about the Ruger SR1911 is the demand for it can drive the price up. I know some people have paid $525 for there SR1911 I paid $625 and you paid $700. And would have paid $800 I think I paid too much not that the gun is not worth $600+ it is, but I'd rather pay $525 like some of the others that got lucky. I paid $800+ for my S&W 1911 E series and think that was a good deal. I'd rate the E seies a step above the SR1911 because the E seies is suppose to be semi custom and it is. The SR1911 is just a good SS 1911 with almost all the now standard bells and whistles, made with good parts and material here in the USA. It highlight are a good trigger, excellent sights and build quialityl.

    Yeah, well I ended up getting a Springfield Champion at the Lebanon gun show this weekend. I traded in my LCP with CT laser, I got $250 for it and got the Champion for alittle over $600. I havent shot it yet, but it is a sexy looking gun, just hope it performs as well as it looks.
