As requested by you guys last night, here are some pictures of the new SR1911 from Ruger. Its smaller, but otherwise exactly the same.

  1. I applaud Hi-Viz, Magpul and any other company who chooses to stand for liberty – even at great personal and financial expense. They emulate the principals of our Founding Fathers. I suspect their moral integrity will be justly rewarded.

  2. Over the past two years, for reasons I’d rather not discuss, I’ve purchased and sold two SR1911 governments and two SR1911 Commanders. All four were outstanding pistols in every respect, and performed as well or better than my very expensive Sig 1911. Well, yesterday I sold the Sig and bought a NIB Commander LW, and although I will miss my Sig (C3) I am really pleased with the new Ruger. After detail stripping it last night and treating it with Militech, the action is so slick that its every bit as smooth as the Sig was. So why did I go back to the Ruger and sell my Sig? The Ruger is a full grip where the C3 was an Officer’s frame. I just got tired of the hand bite from the butt of the C3, so I went back to a pistol I knew I could trust to perform like a champ, every time. I’m not planning on going anywhere else, 1911-wise, in the foreseeable future.

  3. The weight and balance of this pistol is excellent and I enjoy shooting it but at nearly 35 ounces it is still a pretty hefty firearm. I know there are folks who carry 1911s and find them to be comfortable but I’ve tried and after awhile it just gets to be too heavy
