Per the Novak website, Ruger is licensed to use Novak spec rears and uses Novak genuine front and rear sights https://www.novaksights.com/Content.aspx?PAGE="Sights 101"Not to be a buzzkill, but as we learned from Tisas, "Novak type" and "Novak style" doesn't necessarily equal Novak cuts.
I have no idea if the Ruger has "to spec" Novak sight cuts or not.
Just raising awareness of a possible issue.
My searching seems to be weak. Looking at Sportsman's Warehouse, I'm not seeing a Ruger 1911 in the $560'ish price range? Help a brother out with a link?
Yeah, I only looked there as OP referenced them specifically for this particular gun in that price range.
Sportsman's Warehouse is way, way overpricing them.
Do you have a brick and mortar store In Indiana?Yeah, I only looked there as OP referenced them specifically for this particular gun in that price range.
We do. I'll check them out in store.Do you have a brick and mortar store In Indiana?
my reference was to an new on the shelf at the local store.
appears Sportsman.com has them on line $669.00 not sure why the difference?

Just raising awareness of a possible issue. This Ruger is equipped with a DAS by Kensight, which is made for the Novak rear sight cut.

Seems like every major manufacturer of 1911’s has them all in every different flavors.
indeed because for a 45 ACP a full sized frame is required.Except for my preferred configuration. Commander slide with an officer frame. A couple years ago it seemed like they were everywhere but now it's hard to find that configuration from most big names.
How long have these been out now?indeed because for a 45 ACP a full sized frame is required.
But seriously I am just happy to see a decent variety of offerings again. It’s nice that a 1911 can be had in so many sizes and offerings.
Not sure I am guessing a while? I used to get promotional emails from Ruger announcing new products. I do not recall seeing one.How long have these been out now?
Any concerns with being able to bob tail an aluminum frame after the fact?I have a stainless Ruger SR1911 Commander in .45 ACP that AllenM did a bob-tail on...
I want a LW Ruger SR1911 Commander in 9mm and will probably have AllenM do a bob-tail on it as well...
That'll be my 1911 collection and I'll be very happy (read: 'contented') with that!
To each their own... Happy Hunting!
I've already inquired and have been told it's doable!Any concerns with being able to bob tail an aluminum frame after the fact?
That's good to know. I have shied away from alloy/aluminum frames a but for that reason.I've already inquired and have been told it's doable!
Feels light in the hand. Paid $615, happy Ruger Day!!If it doesn't weigh 50oz, I don't want it !
That works for me. No adjustable sights, no forward serrations, beaver tail w/palm swell, flat mainspring housing, no rail, rounded trigger gaurd, 45ACP, skeletonized hammer, thumb safety on the proper side ONLY. All this... from Ruger... for $560? Seems too good to be true. If it has Series 70 internals, I may just buy one.
