Seems to be an ad for Shooting Times magazine in Guns and Ammo special issue Combat Arms located on pg 119
 
Great, Ruger already jumped on the AR-15 bandwagon, stole Keltec’s design for the P3AT/LCP, stole Glock’s trigger for the SR9, and now they are jumping on the 1911 bandwagon. What originality.

If I rolled my eyes any harder, they'd fall out.

Pack it up, every 1911 maker except Colt! You're not original enough!

My prediction: it works, it's tough, it's cheap

That sucks, I was looking forward to handling a sr9 in the future. Glock triggers are garbage, I would think that ruger would have more sense than that.

i wouldnt discount the sr9 yet, the M&P and the sr9 have triggers similar to the glock, but at least to me, shooting them each feels quite different...shoot one before you decide
 
Great!

As if I didn't have enough problems trying to decide which 1911 to get already... :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

Actually, when Ruger anounced the LC9, I was kind of disapointed that they weren't making a 1911. I'm wondering how it will compare to something like a Kimber or SA.

Probably won't get one: I already have the MKIII and SR9, and feel like I need to branch out a bit. :D

Far from saturated. Our local gun shop can't keep them in stock, and they price gouge like heck.
 
In business, better never than late. Ruger's timing is uncanny, 2012 aniversary edition perhaps. Should work, only had 101 years to get it right, needs to be priced right to get me to jump. May consider it if it doesn't have the "lawyer" roll marks on the nonport side!
 
there has been so many rumors about a Ruger 1911 over the years and they didnt make any announcements at shotshow, the NRA show, nor on 1911's birthday...

it just does not add up that they woudlnt release it on any of those days and wait till later to do so...

i call BS
 
wooooo....

please please please have no series 80 safety!!!!!!

Yeah right, this is Ruger we are talking about. There is more room on the side of a 1911s slide than all their other guns combined. This is the perfect media Ruger needs to come out with their new and improved and BIGGER warning label.

This is my thought too. However, maybe Ruger is just bowing to customer demand. The still make nice guns but they are a little to caught up in politics.

the M&P trigger is nothing like a glock's. the M&P is single action, like a XD, and not pre-set double action, like the glock (and sr9).
 
Yeah Ruger! American made products! Who cares whose gun they copied as long as they didn't violate patent laws. Hopefully they will not be overpriced like their AR's.

Is your user name a nod to the Grateful Dead? If so, that's awesome to see a fellow Dead head on a gun message board.

As for the Ruger 1911, I have seen and read that article in the new shooting times - it will not be a typical Ruger innovation project. They are sticking to alot of original 1911 concepts.

You can bet on it being a damn reliable pistol!
 
Interesting. I just bought a SA Mil-Spec Stainless last October.

A day late and a dollar short for me. I'm sure it will be a good gun though. I predict the price point will make it competive with the Taurus 1911. We'll see.
