SR 1911

Have been putting it off too long. Buds and many others are still getting $800and more for the Ruger. Finally got one from my lgs for $624 today - Really like the commander - fills the gap nicely between my compact and full size 1911's. Can't wait to take her to the range !

Congrats. Looks like a very nice gun. My hubby has been renting various 1911s at Heritage Guild. He likes the Kimbers but not the price tag. I told him he should buy himself a Ruger 1911 for Christmas. I'd be interested to hear how you like shooting yours. Ruger makes a good product.

Please grace these pages with your impression of this. I have been curious and curiouser about this gun. Our local GS has them for 650.

Finally got to the range today. Really like this Ruger! Zero failures of any kind after 50 rounds, very smooth, and very accurate. Was shooting at about 25 feet and a nice tight pattern. I've struggled with some 1911's and my grip - trying to keep grip safety engaged with my thumb on thumb safety - no problem with the Ruger, nice bump out on grip safety works for me - might be just me, but has always been an issue. Looking forward to some more time at the range, but a winner so far!

Which shop would that be? I know target world has a good price on them, but from what I remember when I asked about these a few months back was that the wait list was 1 year+

He's refering to Tanners in Jamison.

That is a really nice looking piece. I really like the size of the Commanders, think that will be my next 1911. Looks like that Ruger would fit the bill just right. Congrats on the new gun, and make sure you do an update after a bit, I'm curious to see what you think about it after some time.

I just bought the full size SR1911 at the York show a few weeks ago for $629. Had it out twice so far, and love it. Here's the first 15 rounds thru it at about 25 ft:

150 rounds through my sr1911 commander and I love it! Very accurate and no troubles whatsoever. Smooth feed ramp, good lockup, nice sights, and a beautiful finish with the rosewood handles. I love the way the commander is balanced too, it is easy to quickly re-aquire a good sight picture. At $650 it's a great deal; you can't go wrong!

Wow you can finally find Ruger SR's for under $800? Maybe I will get one with my next tax return. Very nice piece by the way.
