Very nice. I'm glad to see Ruger added a feed ramp insert. The only thing it needs is a rail.

Now all it needs is the Officer's Model frame height.

No inside info on either project but it would make sense that Ruger's looking at those as future products. It might also be nice to see something like a 10mm, 9mm or 38 Super version(s) at some point. |

I've had several full size 5", a Colt Lightweight Commander and a Lightweight Officers. Only have the full size 5" currently so, I'll be looking at one when I get home. To me the LWT CDR offers the weight and size balance that meets my needs.

Ruger is kind of the new Kimber in 1911's except with a better warranty and more affordable.

I like it. Any specs on MIM content, etc? I think they're running the same MIM parts as most. Hammers, grip safeties, disconnector and sear sets, etc. I was fortunate enough to have a tour of the factory in AZ a couple years ago and saw the SR-1911's being made. The frames are fully machined from a casting while the slide, barrel and bushing are machined from barstock. The parts stay as sets as much as possible to keep fit as good as can be without having to rely on hand fitting or additional work. The rest of the stuff like springs, etc are sourced from industry suppliers who provide parts to many companies making 1911's. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

hmmm, wonder why no bob tail. it would be really nice bobbed. I'm actually glad they're not offering this as a bob tail from the factory since it wouldn't appeal to everyone. And there's no way to un-bob a frame as opposed to having one bobbed. But who knows? If the Ruger guns continue to be a popular seller for the company I expect we'll eventually see a wide selection of factory variants. |

That looks nice.
They should do 9mm in that gun. A buddy has a Ruger 1911 and he's a gun guy, and he says he likes it a LOT. |

I was at my local shop today and asked if this was available. Quick check on the computer and $700 out the door. It will be here later next week.

Quote HistoryQuoted: "No ambi safety, no buy" Lefty Brother as a fellow lefty and 1911 enthusiast, I must tell you that the next step is learning to fit your own. It's actually one of the easier tasks to learn to do correctly when it comes to 1911 smithing. Pain in the ass to have to pay someone every time I buy something in an old fashioned 1911 flavor, and the only good gunsmith around here is backlogged for years...

Offer this thing in CCO configuration and I'll get one so fast you'll need a high speed camera to see it. As it is, the full-size grip is a bit of a bummer.
