Ruger SR1911 now shipping!

[Fedor]

Lord forgive me for what I'm about to say.

Mr. Fedor,

Are you here to bash Kahrs and Harley's

I apologize for not doing more research before wasting my money on inferior products, I wont make the same mistakes twice.

[Bawanna]

So is this goodbye then? sniff, sniff, sob.

[jlottmc]

I'm thinking that he reminds me of a couple that are no longer with us. Perhaps its time to give the same treatment.

[johnh]

Agreed, and done!

On the MRI post, I was just pointing out that Kahr has a nicely appointed 1911 that likely will be in the same price range. This is the Kahr forum after all. I hope Ruger does a good job with their 1911. They have had experience making reliable 45 autos. The SR9 was a little rocky at first, but as others have pointed out they have been in the 1911 business a long time, just not under their product label.

[jlottmc]

Thank you kindly big boss man. I like that MRI 1911, ironically the bbl length is the same. I how ever am a bit (little stretch) of a purist and don't like full length guide rods. I can live a little with billboards on my slide flats, but that guide rod set up, just makes it harder to take down in the field, or range. John, have you got room in your PM box for a question I have about some technical things? I did forget to mention that MRI has one of if not the best trigger pulls out of the box. I played with one for a little while, and it feels good. Wouldn't mind shooting one, but for me I would have to go with a standard guide rod and plug set up. They also have a very nice blued finish, in fact it kinda made my britches stick out in front.

My first pistol was a Ruger P345. As nice as that one is, an SR1911 would be really nice. Just going by the pictures, it looks really sharp. Can I have a do-over? Hard to justify spending more money on guns. I guess I can always trade...

[jlottmc]

I have a P345 and love it too. I may have to save a bit to buy that but may do it. I'm pretty happy right now with the pistol side of my house.

I think I'm gonna put an SR1911 at the top of my Christmas list. I would like a round mainspring housing, though. A U.S.-made 1911 in stainless with a 5" barrel sounds like a logical choice for my next shooter.

There was a video on YouTube of a "clown" at a gun store taking one apart and then putting it back together... really amateurish... with many mistakes... nothing like documenting your mistakes or in-expertise for the world to see.

Oh, I'm alive and well and we're company-free now. I still have lots to do in putting stuff away and getting on with renovations and repairs to the house. There are still all kinds of bins of stuff everywhere from the garage sale and moving stuff around for company.

I shot my bother's compact XD40 -- not sure which model -- and it was easy to shoot... FMJs were just like shooting 9mm. I didn't try any defense loads, though. It was the first time I had ever shot any .40 S&W.

I'm so behind on posts here and have so much to do around the house.

Well with thunderous applause and a standing ovation (well all but the derelict) welcome back. You've been missed and several inquired as to your well being.
Take little bites of the chore list and make time to visit us here during your breaks.
Hope Santa brings you that Ruger. I want one too and might do the same thing. Santa's sleigh might be a heavy mutha this year.

[O'Dell]

I like the SR1911 and the reviews have been good. The only Ruger I have now is the LCP, but if this pistol had come out earlier when I was rebuilding, I would have definitely looked at it.

So I assume the Ruger 1911 was knock your socks off high quality, must have and completely blew your dress up over your head?

I haven't heard of anyone around here locally that I can fondle but if your 2-3 weeks out they must be getting out there. One more chance for me to be the first kid on my block to have the newest latest new toy out and in the 100th year of our man John Moses Brownings invention. The wife shouldn't beat me too hard for getting one of these. I'm worth it and I deserve it. She can get a couple cases of the Loreal hair color stuff since she's worth it too.

[toolman]

yep the ruger is a dandy spent I,d say 45 minutes going thru it with the shop owner and yes it was a quality built firearm trust me I,m not one to have to be first on the block to have one .

it felt great in my hands 1 made in the U.S.A. 2 well built 3 its a 45 .

yeah guess you could say it blew my skirt up (and trust me the skirt don,t go up to easy anymore )


the cw 45 is next on the list as soon as funds are there .

layaway uuuuummmm

I told my wife that I wanted an SR1911 and I could wait until Christmas. She said "Isn't every day Christmas for you?" Dang, next month's my 65th BD and I didn't ask for it then!
Jeez... I just spent about $500 on shirts online to replace all of the shrunken and widened ones that I got rid of at my last garage sale... Cabela's, Land's End, Sportsman's Guide, Duluth, and JC Penney's locally. I bought a lot of long T-shirts and polos... all with pockets, and the best deals I could find. I need shirts that will hide my CCW, even though the Governor should be signing into law the protection for inadvertent weapon exposure for CCW permit holders.

And I did spend almost $300 for Novak adjustable NS on my SA Champion... and CT LaserGrips for my K9($50 rebate!!)... and cheap holsters for all... oh, yeah... 8 new magazines for the Champion... and a whole lot of other stuff, not including ammo every time I go into Wal-Mart.

Then there's the new Pergo floor for my command center/computer room/hobby room.

I am kind of high maintenance. Quick picture of unfinished room using what I had on hand and left over after the garage sale.

Hey, Bawanna, don't forget the "Ruger" truck will be at Lynden gun shop next Sat, 21st. I would hope they will have at least one new SR1911 to show off.
If they have several, I'll have my checkbook in hand, if not, I'll probably put in my order at Dave's. I'm assuming the gun will be as good as it looks from the web site pic's. If I'm not suitably impressed. I will pick up that GP 100 .357 that I know they have in stock.
