Can' t find the post at the moment, but somewhere a few pages back said the SR1911 was cast. Wrong, it is not cast. CNC'd.
"[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]The SR1911 is built primarily of stainless steel. The slide is CNC machined from bar stock, and the frame is made using Ruger’s proven investment casting process."
