Ruger 1911 - Page 2

I managed to pick it up sooner than I thought! The gun shop I got it from had 4 or 5 of these in stock on top of the display model so I took in an unmolested SR1911. I was told they were getting easier to find but sounds like that may not be entirely true.

Very nice. The one I put on layaway was still wrapped in the plastic when the clerk brought it out for me to inspect. My fingerprints are the only ones on the gun. Hope nobody decides to use it in a crime before I pick it up. Lol

Bought one in Feb. and it is 100% reliable. I replaced the stock grip panels with black rubber. IMHO the best bang for your buck for a 1911. Good luch with yours and I am sure you will love it.

Did you get a trigger job?

Why would his SR 1911 need one??

They're not very smooth. Then again I was comparing it to a gun 5x the cost.

It's a lot of gun for the price IMO and is built pretty well. I put 200 dollars down on one and should be picking it up in a few weeks. My gun store had it priced at $695 which from the research I gathered sounds about right. If anyone has this particular 1911 let me know how you like it.

i love mine too, but i wouldnt expect to get one from a dealer within a 2 week time period....i may be wrong, but i looked for over a year until i found mine for $700...not one problem in about 250 rds of various ammo....going to put another 200 rds through it tomm....well, i did have one prob...the 7 rd mag that came with it does not eject fully....i have since bought 7 more 8 rd para mags and they spit out like they should....i still carry my glock 27, but that may change as the weather cools a little....good luck

The hammer should fall totally free down to the firing pin to avoid light primer strikes.

Didn't know about the rest of that, good info!

If you found one for that price jump on it now. It took me over a year to find one & when I did it cost me apx $785.00 + shp etc. But I am happy with it it's a great 1911 gun.

I have not seen one in person so far

limbkiller · 08-01-2012, 13:37

I love mine. Will leave as is for know as I have other guns I plan on doing things to. 200 rds is all I've shot through it so far. Got lucky to get it. Was in Sportsmans Whorehouse and one of the salesman said he was going to get it. 4 days later I got a call from my gun buddy and the guy didn't have the funds and he would get them to hold it for me. HELL YA! So I went in the next day and got it. 699 plus tax. Not a great deal but not bad.

Those are sweet looking 1911's wow I really like them

257 roberts · 08-08-2012, 18:07

just bought one today for $685 plus tax and $5.00 call in fee!!!!!

GRJfer · 08-11-2012, 16:26

Ordered mine on 12/30/11 for $555.00+tax. Well 5 months and 6 days, later my Ruger SR1911 finally arrived. Picked it up 60/06/12.

Been enjoying it ever since. I get it out about twice a month, need to order a few more mag, and then I'm ready to run through an IDPA match.
