Ruger 1911?

I'd buy one just to put away! Looks sweet!

I am very curious- given, I like Ruger products, thankfully I have avoided the recall nonsense.

As to the gun- I would be based on how Ruger prices their stuff, this will be a $500-$600 Gun on store shelves, putting it in league with RIA and the Springfield GI. Not bad based on how it looks and the features listed. Secondly, unlike all other 1911s listed at this price point, including the STI Spartan, this one will be made in the US. That has to count for something, maybe everything, for a 1911! Brazil, the Philippines! Seriously?! Its a 1911!


This doesn't look like a match pistol, but for most of the buying public for pistols, working is the only must have feature. I bet this works, if not, drop a wolff spring in it and it will!

Nice video, thanks for sharing.

I assume, that was so called "drop-in" barrel fitting on video

Nowadays many companies offer "sharp/cool/tactical" etc. looking 1911 pistols for affordable price. However, most of these are total crap if you ask me - no idea about proper timing, barrel standing on link etc.

I have not seen Ruger yet, but is probably as disappointing as S&W 1911 pistols etc

IMHO, STI factory gun would be cheapest one for me - they are usually timed right and shoot pretty accurately.
If I would not build my pistols myself, would spend few extra bucks and get Les Baer.

If it's made after 1912, it's an imitation....

Looks like yours missed the cut by a couple months or so.

Yes, it's an early 1913 reproduction ... 2nd delivery.

So what does Ruger bring to the table that is new and unique to this 100 year old design? Or sets it apart from any of the two dozen manufacturers out there?

More importantly, who is not making a 1911 these days? Probably the same companies that are not making AR15s....

H&K doesn't make one even though they make an AR platform.

Yep, looks like a 1911 alright...

That is exactly what I was thinking.

I like it. It threw me for a loop because they had a flush magazine on the website and the spec said 8+1 capacity.

I'm not sure why this threw ya for a loop ...

I have a few mags for my 1911 that are 8 rounds and sit flush ..


and all my 8 rounds that are not flush.. well I just have to remove the bumper pad on the bottom and they will be flush ( and still hold 8 rounds... )

Beautiful piece nonetheless.
