Caspian uses castings produced by Ruger. I don't seem to recall anyone complaining about those.

I stand corrected. I did follow up that post with some research that did corroborate Remington uses a cast frame. That said I have shot the R1 and it's not a bad beginning of a 1911. You can keep the barrel,bushing,slide,and frame. The trigger,sear,safety and just about all the rest of the parts can be greatly improved by replacement.

I still believe Ruger will do to the 1911 what it did to the Single Action Army. It turned the SAA into a Vaquero. I think a Ruger that was faithful to the JMB 1911 design could be a fine pistol.

The gun hasn't even hit store shelves, been described, and people are still questioning whether it even exists. Yet, we already have people assuming that it will be lower quality than various other brands, and assuming things about the pricing
Sounds like blind hatred...

If you saw what happens to originality on these boards you wouldn't touch anything new with a ten foot pole, either.
But yeah, I'm kinda skeptical. Pixelated Image, oddball timing ... not sold until I see one.
But if I see one and it's a double stack in 9mm and a compact size .... I might have to buy one.

I'd like a 1911 from ruger, but have to say that the current makrket for
DA revovlers in 9mm is stronger than one might think..
If you look at the auction sites and classifieds for anything in 9mm
you will see that they command higher prices than a .38 or 357 and
are snatched up very quickly.
A MINTY or LNIB stainless Speed Six or even a SP-101 in 9mm
would be welcome in my house
Heck, I'd take a blued Speed 6, too!

Well the speculation on whether it is real or not can officially end

safety features include
beaver tail grip safety
manual safety
visual inspection port
So sounds like there is no magazine disconnect, nor pop up loaded chamber indicatior.

Awww. No 9mm option. Maybe in the future.
and it is a Series 70 which is nice.
no front slide serrations
It simply says
RUGER
made in usa
on the side. (but look under the frame in front of the trigger guard there are a couple of lines there. probably "don't eat lead" lawyer lines)

If it works as good and is as good as all my ruger pistols and revolvers, whats the problem. Gee, I guess they would be the first company to "steal" the 1911 design huh?
Right shotgunjoel?
Right shotgunjoel?
series 70 design
standard length guide rod
no huge bill boards
Novak sights
no front slide serrations
reasonable price
no wonky locks
standard internal extractor
made in the USA
The lawyers must have taken a day off...
Seems good to go... I hope it does well!

No mag safety? Someone confirm?
Magazine safety.
If you mean if the gun still will fire with no magazine. Yes it will fire with no magazine.
See page 20 last line
http://ruger-docs.s3.amazonaws.com/_manuals/sr1911.pdf
"Remove the magazine from the pistol by pushing in on the magazine catch.
REMEMBER that even though the magazine has been removed, a live round
may remain in the chamber and the pistol can fire with the magazine
removed."

Excellent. I'm going to have a hard time not buying one of these.
Only thing I don't like is the 2-tone small bits. Looks pieced together to me.
No FSS =
Pre-series 80 trigger type =
All american =
Price =
Go Ruger! I gotta say I'm impressed with you guys lately.

As 1911s go it's a real nice looking one. All stainless construction with black accents, very nice.
I like what Jeff Quinn said "American made with an import price". Just goes to show you how badly the competition is gouging folks for a 1911.
I am not a huge fan of the 1911, but I was going to buy one, the SR1911 would be at the top of my list.
