Who likes their SR1911??

[cja245]

I like mine

Ok, tomorrow I try to trade my Taurus 669, Bianchi holster, a 7mm Mauser '98, and some boot$$ for a new SR1911 SR CMD.

Wish me luck!

I'm not a fan. I have owned one, and have shot heavily two others owned by close friends.

The one I owned and one of those I frequented were quite problematic. Would not run with even a prayer. The third, however, runs quite reliably. Ammo changes, mag changes, trips back to Ruger; nothing to really make the SR shine. I sold mine at cost. Chalked it up to buying a hype gun before seeing some real reliable reviews.

I've been better served by the Springfield and RIA Tactical II.

This one has erratic ejection & shoots low, but functions well.
Both are correctable.

I liked mine so much, I bought a second one for a matched set...

Uh, I don't want to burst your bubble, but trust me: Dpris knows for sure. I mean, I suppose there could be some conspiracy afoot, but it doesn't seem likely. If he wants to tell you his qualifications to make that statement definitively, he can do so on his terms as opposed to mine, but I trust his word on this.

Now, that isn't to say that the guy is never wrong. I am sure he would be the first to admit a mistake. As far as people that I have personal knowledge of on THR, until proven otherwise, I consider him a top-tier, credible source of information.

No bubbles busted, however once you realize, like his letter reference stated, that many a MIM part are outsourced you and I again can not know for sure other than the word of a said manufacturer! That outside source of course can make any claim they wish until you metallurgic-ally prove them wrong! I most certainly do not questions someones ability to make any statement of information, especially since I know no one on here personally!

I bought one used a while back. No problems with it at all.

 

[DPris]

Mr,
Huh? Not sure what you're saying.

I thought the question was regarding cast parts, I said the only cast part in Ruger's 1911s is the frame, and I laid out which parts are MIM.

What can't you know for sure?

I came real close to buying one last week. The only thing that stopped me was a deal I had going on a Colt XSE. However, I have read that the barrel and bushing, on the Ruger, are built from the same piece of stock. Is there an advantage to this ?
