From the Ruger Press Room
April 18, 2011
Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE: RGR) is proud to announce the Ruger® SR1911, an "All American" classic rendition of John Browning's most famous handgun design. The public debut of the Ruger SR1911 pistol will take place during the NRA Annual Meeting in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania April 29 - May 1.
The single-action .45 Auto Ruger SR1911 features a bead-blasted stainless steel frame and slide, precision CNC machined for a precise slide-to-frame fit. The stainless steel barrel and bushing are produced simultaneously, from the same ordnance-grade barstock, for a precise fit and improved accuracy. The slide features rear cocking serrations and a dovetailed three-dot sight system with a Novak® rear sight and standard front sight.
"We are very proud to offer a 1911 pistol, an icon of American gun design and manufacturing," said Ruger CEO Michael Fifer. "In this 100-anniversary year of the introduction of the Government Model 1911 it is only fitting that such a firearm be completely manufactured in America with all American-made components."
The Ruger SR1911 pistol features a titanium firing pin and heavy firing pin spring, which negates the need for a firing pin block, offering an updated safety feature to the original "Series 70" design without compromising trigger pull weight. An extended thumb safety offers improved manipulation and an oversized beavertail grip safety provides positive function and reliability. A visual inspection port offers visual confirmation of a round in the chamber.
Positive extraction is facilitated by an improved internal extractor. The plunger tube for both the slide stop and thumb safety is integral to the frame and will never shoot loose. The swedged link pin also will not shoot loose. The SR1911 uses a skeletonized hammer and an aluminum, skeletonized trigger with an adjustable over-travel stop. The Ruger SR1911 features a standard recoil guide system and flat mainspring housing.
The Ruger SR1911 grips feature a Ruger logo in checkered hardwood panels. Each pistol is shipped with a bushing wrench and a soft case. The SR1911 will fit currently available holsters.

Ruger 1911
.I have put more than 200 rounds of factory fmj with no misfeeds, no jans. The slide is tight. I Had to adjust front and rear sites. I find that my groupings are about an inch low at 20 - 25 feet. Over all I am exceptionally pleased. I am working on tighting up the accuracy. Two of us shot several rounds at this same distance with the same results. I am thinking of ordering a replacement front Novak site to improve accuracy. Any suggeations always welcome. I would hate to file down the front site on such a fine hand gun. I intend to put a few more rounds through it before deciding. I am on a waitiing list for another one.

Ruger SR1911
I own (2) of the SR1911's both made in 2011 for the 100 yr anniversary. I bought the first one in july 2011 and after i shot it i put my name on a waiting list for a second one to put away in my safe and purchased the 2nd one december 2011. It hits where you aim it,it is light for a 1911 and most important to me it is 100% U.S.A. made. It is easy to dissasemble and clean. In my opinion it is by far the nicest 1911 for under a $1000 on the market and i would go as far as saying it shoots better than my kimber and my Ed brown custom hands down.If you are looking to buy an affordable 1911 look no further my friend ! This will be something you can pass on to your children and will be worth double what you paid for it in 10-15 years. Good luck and happy shooting to all.

Thanks for shipping one
Wanted to let the guys at Impact know how much I appreciate getting this Ruger 1911. I tried to get one everywhere for the longest time. Impact told me it would be a while, but assured me I would get one. It took a couple months, but then I got word they had one ready to ship, so I said GO. It's a real nice pistol, I have about 2000 rounds thru it already. Trigger pull is great and I am using it at the local IDPA club shoots.

Nice 45 just one issue
I bought and like this pistol. The good and bad. First the good total rounds fired 600 rds 1. Good looking 2. Light recoil for 45acp good job Ruger 3. Nice trigger 4. Accurate VERY The bad. 8 rd factory mag mis-feed right away. 7 rd factory mag started mis-feeding after initial 200 rounds Purchased after market Triple K 7 rd mag fired 200 rounds no problems. Hmmmm.... Ruger sent back both mags shot 7 rounds out of returned 7 rd factory mag mis-feed again. Hmmm did Ruger send me back the exact same mags? Maybe. I bought a Wilson combat 7 rd mag but haven't used it yet. I will "order" a seperate 7 rd factory mag from Ruger and take it back out but looks like the "Ruger" factory mags for this might be an issue at the moment.

That'll Do Pig, That'll Do
Bought this gun the second I saw it on the shelf of my local gunshop. Traded in my SR9C for it; Figured a Ruger for a Ruger isn't a bad deal. I've put 200 rounds of quality jhp ammo down range (since this will be my home defense piece), and experienced zero ftf, and the only fte was on the first-fed round when using the topped off 8-round mag (that is, 8 + 1) *note: This happened 50% of the time* I always top-off my mags, but it seemed that the pressure of the mag spring was pushing my 2nd round out of position and, as a result, pinched the round between the breech and slide. Without the topped-off round, both mags worked without malfunction. I suppose I can live without my +1 - hell, shot placement is the most important thing anyways. The trigger on the Ruger1911 is why there are only 4 stars and not five. It's a little heavier than I'd like (between 5 and 6 lbs), and has a noticeable, staged creep. It's not a smooshy creepy, but a short, crisp break before the actual break that drops the hammer. A quick visit to the gunsmith will fix this, and make the gun a 5 star. This Ruger is virgin-tight. All stainless, all American - what's not to like?

comparing apples to oranges
The previous review would be more credable if they owned a Ruger SR 1911. I own a Metro Arms .45 junker. I can't give the damn thing away. It only fires ball ammo. No matter what brand of FMJ HP's you feed it, the damn thing jams. Plus, the fancy chrome leaps off everywhere the holster touches! My Ruger SR1911 has has NEVER jamed and eats everything I feed it! So....own both before comparing.
