Ruger 1911?

Rugers 1911

And you know what, it doesn't look half bad.

Man, that does look sharp. I may now have a reason to own a stainless 1911

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.

Looks good to me, and an MSRP of only $799. May have to check them out once they hit the shelves.

If only they made one in 9MM

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.

Not gonna say anything against you Hannu, cause I know, that you know your Sh!t when it comes to 1911's but most really don't care for 1" grouped at 25 yards offhand 1911's nor do they want to pay for the price on those guns, If it goes Bang and is price comparable to glocks, and M&P, They'll hit their market on who they designed this pistol for.

Sure looks better than the one Remington producted (R1) that has that disgusting writing all over their slide.

There are some on this site that get what you are saying, but he inner workings of the 1911s are not discussed in depth here for the most part. Every once in a while I do a informational thread about guns or reloading on the site. that would be a good into thread for Hannu to write up. I just don't have the knowledge to write it up, but would love to see an info thread on the subject. So far, all of my 1911/2011s have been built or rebuilt by either Benny Hill or Steve. I'm spoiled.

it looks like every other 1911 out there, and if Ruger made it I'm sure it'll be recalled before too long, just like everything else they make. I just don't see the need for ANOTHER 1911
