I bet they sell a bunch of them, although I don't care for the chevron slide serrations.

Great for 10/22s and golf club heads, but in this forum we talk 1911s.

The "fish scale" slide serrations are a real turn off, the do make it look cheap but if the gun runs well that would be a big plus. I think they will definitely lose some sales because of the "scales"...they are ugly and cheap looking....<><....

Highlighted as part of the manufacturing process was a " Swaged link pin.,"
does this mean the barrel link pin is just peened or flared on both ends ? |

Too bad they did the two tone upside down.
And before anyone corrects me, yes they did. Pachmyer Combat Special is original two tone 1911. |

I don't have a problem with the "fish scale" slide serrations" since that will be an instant identifier for the 9mm version, and they look as functional as the vert and slanted serrations.
However, I would love to see a SR1911 in a 38 Super and/or 9x23 Winchester. Someone needs to resurrect that 9x23 Win in a factory gun. It's a great cartridge. |

I really dislike reverse two-tone guns.
Prefer dark slides. All dark or dark slide over light frame is fine. Don't like the speed bump grip safety, but everyone is doing those damn things these days, and at least it's not as sharp and pokey as Springfield's. |

Why do they put those cuts on the beaver tail. Allows for a slightly higher grip. I think STI was the first to scallop the beavertail in such a fashion. All it mostly does for me is put my hand that much higher on the gun, causing the bottom edge of the slide to slit my hand. |

It was supposed to be a relief cut for those who ride the safety with their thumb to gain more clearance for their thumb knuckle so the beavertail wouldn't bang against it. More of a thing for people with smaller hands. However the scallop needs to be well blended for this to work, and Ruger (and STI) didn't really blend it, leaving a sharp corner there.

I bought a Ruger LW 9mm Commander last Wednesday. Went by one of my local gun stores just to see what was new. Mentioned I was looking for a LW 9mm Commander and they went in the backroom and got the Ruger for me!! They had gotten it 5 days before and hadn't had time to put it out on display. So I bought the only one they had!!!
 I also bought 4 Wilson 1911 Elite 500-9 10rnd mags for it. So I'll have 11 rnds total in the gun. The fit and finish on this one was very good. It was tight without being too tight. Very well made!
I got to the gun range last Thursday. The Ruger shot just excellent. I shot 150rds of UMC 115gr FMJ without any issues in the Wilson 9mm mags. I loaded 1 in the chamber and 10 in the mag and they all fed and fired with out any problems. I shot 50 rds of 124gr Gold Dots, my carry ammo. As many of you are aware Gold Dots are noted for being a problem in many semi-autos! Not one problem in the Ruger, they all fed without any problems out of the Wilson mags. I'm not the best shot anymore, need MORE practice. But it shot to POA at 20-25 ft. Since the 9mm ammo is much cheaper than 45, I'll be able to get a lot more time in at the range. I'm very happy with the Ruger and it runs great!! I measured the trigger pull Thursday night with my electronic gauge and it ran about 4.5lbs, no grittiness, smooth, and clean break. I like 4lb triggers on my carry guns but the trigger out of the box is very very good. I made the grips on the Ruger about 7 years ago for a Taurus 1911 I had at the time. I was in the US Army Signal Corp form March/1968 to Nov/1970. URL=[URL=http://s36.photobucket.com/user/gunfighter48/media/Ruger%20LW%20Commander%209mm_zpsbqvdk1tu.jpg.html]

How's it shoot? Accuracy? Mag / ammo likes / dislikes? Impressions of the handgun are generally positive. I haven't put a ton of rounds through it yet and haven't shot it beyond fifteen yards so I don't have much to report but it seems like it wants to shoot okay with just about everything. I do note that the gun seems to shoot a bit high and might need a slightly taller front sight. I'll worry more about that if and when I change out to something like the Trijicon HD's. So far it has fed Tula, reloads, WWB and 115gr Atlanta Arms JHP match from Tripp mags without issue. I haven't tried the factory 9rd mags yet. I might just put them up for sale on the EE and buy some additional Tripp mags. |

Saw an interesting one at a local shop yesterday.
Serrations were normal (slanted not chevron) and the frame was anodized medium grey (almost like the old "Colt Grey" ARs). Not terribly priced at $750. Tempting. I'd probably change the front sight to a tritium dot though. |

I got mine out to the range this morning. Before shooting I changed out the grips to LOK Grips, the trigger to the short and smooth faced configuration I prefer and the recoil spring to a 18lb wolf commander spring ( As suggested by Ed Head ).
I fired 250 rounds of mixed ammunition including Hornady Critical Defense, Winchester Ranger T, Federal HST and Freedom Munitions reloads. Mixed bullets ranging from 115 to 147. The gun was very pleasant to shoot with all loadings including the hotter defensive ammo. I experienced no malfunctions. I didn't fire for accuracy from a bench, but from a standing position and firing as fast as I could reacquire the front sight I had no problem keeping all rounds within a 5 inch circle at 15 yards. I used a the factory supplied magazines and some Wilson ETM 10 round mags as well. Overall a very pleasant pistol to shoot. A couple more flawless trips to the range and I'd be more than happy to add it into my EDC rotation.

Took mine to the range today. I got it from Grabagun for $729 with shipping plus $27 to my dealer. I ran 150 rounds of Lawman 115 grain 9mm through it. I had 3 10 round Chip McCormick mags, 3 10 round metalform mags and 2 ruger factory 9 round Checkmate mags.
I had (2) two failures to feed on the second round of the same Chip McCormick mag. All the other mags ran flawless. Overall, I am very pleased. I can't wait for an all steel Ruger 1911 9mm. If you are sitting on the fence grab one. The 10 rounds of 9mm, plus the cheaper cost to shoot the 9mm, make it an even better deal. |

My wife traded her shield for one of these and went from constant accuracy and comfort problems- to hitting steel 75% of the time at twice the distance. Shes still new to shooting, but now understands the love of a 1911. The best thing about this pistol is her smile when she shoots it.
