Bought A Ruger SR1911,Report

[WOLFEMAN]

Nice gun....congrats

 

[edsinger]

I want one!

 

[jbombelli]

Great review! It really makes me want one.


But the problem is, your review was actually good enough to show me that it would give me the same problem just about every other 1911 has given me out of the box, which is why I don't own them anymore. Since I'm a lefty, 2 feet to the right and 3-4 feet back means brass is bouncing off my face.

 

[seamusalaska]

Yep....looks like I'll be heading back to the 1911's after a few years away. Go Ruger.

 

[Hi im Bob]

Cant wait to get mine. Always liked ruger and itll be my first 1911.

MORE PICTURES!

So, Novak sights, GI guide rod, how's the mainspring housing? Is it metal? Plastic?

What's the enscription on the frame infront of the trigger guard?

And guts, I like to see guts

About 2 weeks ago, I went to the Ruger website and saw a picture of the new 1911! I have been wanting a new pistol, so I turned the computer toward my wife, showed her the picture...and said one word, "BIRTHDAY!"

Great review.

I wish you were closer - we could to a tandem comparison / review. I just got my first 1911 (kimber). I love it, but I bet we could compare the two and prove the kimber is not worth 2x the cash.

Steel mainspring housing

Says "Read instruction manual before using firearm" It's not noticeable and engraved nicely

I feel your pain.I shoot pistols right handed and rifles left handed.Your face would be hurting after a few mags

Ruger 1911

what did you end up paying for it?

 

[vzdude]

I was told mine would be 629 plus tax. MSRP is 799, but no one pays that unless they just gotta be the first!

 

[squirrelhntr]

wow nice pistoley. got a shootin buddy who was askin abt. the new ruger 1911, now i have some info on her. tnx for the nice post ! oh ya, leave it to Ruger to make a nice affordable firearm.

 

[reaper101]

wow, i like it very much. i have to say that will be my next handgun.

 

[PTinbound]

Anyone in NWI know who will be carrying these locally? Cabelas? I got an email from Midwest Gun Exchange saying they'd have it but they didn't mention the price.

 

[tv1217]

Cabela's will probably have it, but you might end up paying MSRP

 

[edsinger]

I will get one someday but not at MSRP. I will wait. I got my LCR and paid higher than if I would have waited 6 months.
