Ruger SR 1911

[roc1]

I went in my local gunshop looking around for another 45acp. Guess what he just got in that morning. RUGER 1911. I have wanted one but cannot find any. He even let me put it on layaway. Price was good $639 plus tax. I am anxious to say the least. Let you know when I try it out.

Good find and decent price.

I recently bought one for $699. The dealer hasn't been abe to get anymore.

lucky indeed. ive been looking for one at gun shows for as long as theyve been on the market and havent seen one yet.

I saw a couple at the gun shows in the last three months but I wasn't interested in buying one at the time. As I recall they were about $750.

About eight people have shot mine, including one woman. They all liked it. Several said they were going to buy one.

I got one from a sales incentive contest Ruger ran last year. It took me several months to get time to go shoot it, but it ran well... until I tried feeding it match ammo. It stovepiped several times on the match ammo, but ran well with ball ammo. 1911's just like 230 grain ball... it's what they were designed for, and don't slow down as long as that's what you use (unless they have a mechanical problem).

Everybody that's a 1911-nut at the shop "ooohhs" and "ahhhhs" when I wear it to work, but to tell the truth, I was a little disappointed in it's performance. It's still not completely broken in yet, so I'll reserve judgement until it's had enough rounds through it to have all the parts worn in and springs massaged into place.

I think the throat needs some polishing since it stovepiped the match rounds, but I'll see at some point and hopefully remember to report back...

I have run HPs FMJs and plated SWCs in my SR1911 and have not had one failure. The only problem I had was with a 47D magazine that would hang up when ejecting the spent mag. A little polishing of the internal node on the mag release and it works with all my mags.
