Crap..., my 1911 decision just got tougher: Ruger SR1911

Ruger® SR1911

I was dead set that the Springfield R.O. was my next purchase and first 1911.

Now I'm re-thinking. Both are priced similarly. Both look great.

Looks good from the photos, with the exception of the warning billboard on the lower side of the frame.

I really wish they would stop crapping up their guns with that nonsense.
My SP101 would look so much nicer without the stamped "warning".

I really like the look/feel of Sig Sauer's 1911 C3, too...
Seen those yet?

Unfortunately, if Sig makes it, it can't be anywhere close to $700...

I'm thinkin' the one I saw was somewhere in the $800 neighborhood. I can find out later in the week and post it up, if you'd like.

I'm really looking forward to more offerings like this designed to compete with the Springfield R.O.

There is a lot of opportunity in the $650-$900 price range for a well-made, tightly-fitted, stripped-down combat/carry 1911. The R.O. is only the first 1911 to appeal to that market segment, and it's done quite well.

If Springfield would release an R.O. version in stainless and with low profile, combat sights, I think they would sell even more.

1) I strongly dislike the lawyer attached to the underside of the frame, but at least there isn't a SR9C style loaded chamber indicator!

2) An officer or commander's size would be cool.

That's a nice looking 1911. I don't particularly care for 1911s for carry or home defense, but if I ever decide to get one just for fun, I'll be taking a hard look at the Ruger. Nice to see a 100% US made 1911 from a major manufacturer, at a decent price point.

Not bad.... Suggested retail $$$$???

MSRP is $799. So maybe $700 by end of the year? $650 once the buzz dies down?

Thanks. I'll have to keep eye out.

I want one...but I will wait...can get a Colt for that price.

Optioned out like the Ruger? If so, yeah, I'd probably take a Colt over it.
