Done Waiting For An SR-1911!

[Bawanna]

This is MY Ruger SR1911, there apparently are very few like it BUT this one is MINE. There will someday be many many like it but this one will still be MINE. Tonight, tomorrow, and a year from now, this one will be MINE.

I'm nearly giddy...............

I included location background photo's for evidence. It's really true! I really can't believe there's finally an SR1911 living under the same roof as me.


Many many thanks to Greg who with complete disregard for his own safety, located and nailed this beauty down for me. While my wife may not totally agree, this forum and it's members totally rock at helping each other out.
I just wish once I could come up with something to reciprocate to Greg, this isn't the first time he's performed heroic deeds in my behalf.

I guess I better hop over to the 1911 picture thread and gloat some. This doesn't happen nearly often enough.

Wow, it does look fantastic! Use it well! Don't sleep with it tonight.

Nice pictures! How's the trigger?

Edited to add: Oh, and "close to $650" rocks! The best I could find on GunBroker just now is closer to $800 shipped, but not including my FFL's fee. As someone's grandmother would say, "Man, you done good!"

[Bawanna]

Not quite as nice as the one my local SEAL friend has but not bad.

I'm gonna shoot it some and see if it improves some. It isn't that this one is really bad, but his is really really good.

I'm aching to shoot it. My have to do a few rounds in the back yard. Mom's day this weekend, I better act subservient.

I see a dozen roses and a nice dinner in your future.

Edited to add: And, maybe a trigger boost or two. I think the Ruger hammer and seer are hard enough to survive the pressure.

My she's purdy.

[Just in joy]

Jealous I have been hunting for one here locally.

Nice Bawanna, I've been waiting for the local guys to get them in but no luck so far. I'm really in no hurry as I already have a 1911 and other fine pistols to shoot. I've been trying to talk my buddy out of his CZ PO1 which are also hard as hens teeth to get around here. I love that pistol and it,s #1 on my bucket list as far as pistols go.

Congratulations Boss!! It's gorgeous.
Man, keeping up with the Bawannas is getting to be a tough job.
I WANT ONE OF THOSE

Congratulations, Bawanna, you finally got it. I'm loving mine, know you will too.
Here's mine.I think the trigger is pretty darn good, right out of the box.

Hey, just an FYI...saw a video on youtube posted today (5/11/12) on the Armory Channel touring a LGS (Double Action Gun Range in Yeadon Pa, 610-626-2995) who has A Ruger SR1911 in stock for $699 and an M&P Shield for $405.

If you skip to 4:20 in the video you can see the SR1911 and 6:45 for the Shield. Not sure if this shop will take phone orders or ship, but just thought I would post it since I know there are lots of you looking for these guns.

[Tinman507]

thanks for the heads up. they're an hour from me.

No problem. Not sure when the video was taken or if they still had those in stock, but its probably worth a call to find out if you are in the market for either of those. I know they are tough to come by right now.

Congrats Bawanna, you finally got your hands on one. I don't see what all the fuss is about, but I'm glad you are happy with it. Hope it's a real good shooter for you, and you enjoy it a bunch.

I got my baby today! Not bad, I ordered it Tuesday and it is in my hands by Friday. It is sooooo sweet. It feels great in your hand. The trigger has no wobble, about a millimeter take-up, about 4 lbs, and no over travel. I couldn't be happier. It is very tight. Kimber says it should be 100% after 500 rounds. Seems like a lot to me. But a guys gotta do what a guys gotta do. I can't get to the range for about a week and a half. But I can't wait to shoot it.
