I have one of these, it's the only 1911 I've ever handled. Is it normal for the slide to be fairly hard to rack? And I can't cock the hammer with one hand, it takes to much to make it move?! I'm not a weak little guy, it just has a lot of tension to it.
100% made in the USA. This is my next pistol. I'm going to be stimulating that economy. The question is if I should do it before or after the election.
@jbranstetter04 Buy it now, it can only go up if and likely when Obama gets re-elected. Not that it really should because there's really no basis for it but people will try to make money any way they can. These wont fall under any bans or anything so the price shouldn't be effected even if you do wait.
@pac6010 I kind of lied. Yesterday I bought an old break-open 38 S&W for $50. In a way it doesn't really count. I'm still going to use my money that I let the government have all year in the form of tax overpayment. It should cover both guns and a lot of ammo and accessories. The problem is that I can't find the gun anywhere. It's the same as when I wanted to buy my Ruger .380 a couple of years ago, had to get on a waiting list, and now I see them all over the gun shows for cheap.
@jbranstetter04 Ya I was looking into getting one myself but I hear they are having supplier problems that's why nobody has them. They sell fast then they cant get them back in stock fast enough. You will find one eventually if you put your name on enough lists or you could always get a Rock Island or a Springfield.
@pac6010 I'll checkout the Springfield's, although for some reason I really want a Ruger. I've always liked Ruger's since my first rifle and pistol that I bought were Ruger's, a 10-22 and a Mark II 22. I can still remember walking into the hardware store and pointing to the Mark II and saying, I want that pistol, then I bought it. It was a thing of beauty....still is.
Great job on the description. You are very concise, answered all my questions for this gun and hit the nail on the head with the one piece bar stock explanation.
437 round and front sight broke off. ruger sent new sight and told me to either attemp to do it myself or pay a gun smith to do it. great gun but copany was not helpful
@Gunblastdotcom Which would you choose between the SR1911, and Smith and Wessons SW1911, I'm trying to decide, before I go through the horrible licencing process here in S.A. I have liked the SW1911 since it came out, but they both seem like great guns??
They are both excellent pistols. I would find out which is easier to get there, as the Ruger is in very high demand in the US, and pretty hard to find.
I do not know, but if i had to guess, i have my doubts. Ruger could be selling twice as many of the SR1911 pistols than they can currently produce, so are busy filling those orders first.
The Ruger rep at the Gun Show in Houston mentioned it was in their future. FAR in the future, but was a consideration, possibly 18-24 months away. That was the very first question I had, whether they would come out with a 3" model.
I just got the talo sr1911 I payed 850 for it was that a price can you give me some more info on that talo edi i love the way it looks .do you think i should shoot it or put it up to go up on money
That's a Range Master holster from Simply Rugged Leather - simplyrugged-dot-com. Please see the referenced review for more info and detailed pictures.
The SR1911 is a fun all around gun. But very difficult to find. It took my Brother in law over 5 months to finally git his hands on one, and even then we still had to drive 1/2 way across Michigan. But like I said it was well worth the wait for him.
We spoke to Ruger about this at NASGW. They are simply having trouble keeping up with demand, but they are adding additional production lines just for the SR1911. They should be readily available soon.
@Gunblastdotcom Sweet I sold my Mil Spec SS and using funds to buy this Ruger SR1911. I have my name on several lists. GT dist has them for $609 but said it my be 6 months! Where can I pick one up today for $650 or under? Checked galleryofgunsDOTcom and they did not have any.
Demand is greatly exceeding supply. Ruger has an entire line dedicated to building only the SR1911, and they are adding another line that should be up and running late this year.
Looks like a nice gun. I just bought a Springfield 1911 A-1 loaded in stainless today. I'm very pleased with it, except for the magazines that it comes with, they're not the best. How are the ones that come with the Ruger 1911?
@Gunblastdotcom yeah that makes lots of sense. the mk3 is relatively cheap and you can get a bull barrel over the normal tapered one. and I think they have one with a 1911 type grip.
@Gunblastdotcom Thanks! i'm looking for my 1st 1911 but I think i'm going to wait for Ruger to make a blued version of this gun and hopefully it will be of equal quality and made in the same fashion.
I'd heard Ruger was making frames for other companies for a long time. It makes sense for them to start making 1911's. All they need to make now is a pump action shotgun, and they'd have it all covered!
Great review! I'm inspired to go buy me one of these. Ruger sure had been doing a great job over the past few years. I bought an SR40 last fall and the gun is shockingly good, even compared to my Glock 22, M&P40 and my Springfield XD40.
SR1911 and SW1911 are real close. I would like to see a torture test, weather test and accuracy test between the 2. Then a show on how they can be made better without changing factory parts ( polish etc). The 1911 is reborn, I cannot get parts because everything is out of stock. Could shooting sports be coming back? I hope so and I hope my Titanium parts get here soon. The cool thing about 1911's is they can always be made better. RUGER makes very durable guns and you get your money's worth.

Great video. I've been looking for an all American made 1911 for my first 1911. I am proud to say that every "working" hand gun I own is American made I and intend to keep it that way.
Mr. Quinn thanks for the in depth honest review . I had a Springfield Armory Mil-spec that was finished in the U.S. but I had to sell it due to financial woes. I was the market for a 1911 again and I was tempted to go with SA agian but there no way of assuring that I would not get one that was finishes overseas. After watched your review I was impressed with Ruger's 1911I went to my fav shop paid a very reasonable price for a USA made Stainless steel pistol. Now the hard part is waiting.
I worked for ruger at the arizona plant for a while and would not buy any other semi-auto pistol from them. but the 1911 seems like they spent some time on it. I have not shot one yet but I wouldnt mind owning one
I just came to the realization that every handgun I own is a ruger except for 1. Ive never been a single brand kind of guy I just bought what I thought was the best gun for the value/reliability and it now just occured to me that they are all rugers except for one. I almost was going to buy a taurus pt1911 but now that ruger came out with this Im definetly going with the ruger.
"Certain south American versions", Lol we all know who you are referring to. I am so glad ruger has made a All American 1911 that a 9 to 5 American can afford!!
Hi Jeff. At the Gunsite shoot, did you see anyone accidently drop the magazine because the mag release is extended too much? Do you think this would be an issue if the pistol is carried inside the waistband? Thanks! Love the vids! God bless!
Thanks for the reply. I would like to see more USA companies make the double stack. I have a Para P-14 frame with a Colt MK IV Series 80 Stainless Slide. Some do not like the firing pin block of the Series 80 but I do not mind the block, in my mind it is a extra level of saftey. I want a made in USA milled Stainless frame for that Colt Slide.
@Gunblastdotcom Well said! As a person coming from the sad state of California, I am very happy with the thought of owning multiple firearm despite the venom from my fella countrymen here! God bless you, and the USA!
@glock1963 Not true at all, matter of fact there are things in California that you cannot do elsewhere. The only thing wrong I see with that state is the lack of concealed carry laws. They are just a little weird about guns considering the fact that criminals will always be armed no matter what. LA prime example.
@rjake61 You cant go wrong with Ruger. Owned the sr9 and own the GP100 6 inch. Dream guns. If I had enough time to shoot I would get this one and not any other 45.
I have never been a 1911 fan but I will own this one based on two reasons. 1. It's a Ruger, I love their weapons and have never had a problem with their customer service. 2. it says MADE IN AMERICA right on it in plain view...gotta love it. Thanks for the review.
Awesome video! Definitely looking to get this as my first gun!! I live in WI and we might have concealed carry soon, so I might just have to get a second! Love the flag at the end!!!!
Ruger got it right. I will be buying one of these before the year is up. I will buy a quality American made 1911 before I ever buy a Springer or any other non-USA 1911.
I think Ruger is going in the right direction, but I think they made a mistake dicontinuing their alloy frame p-series line. No if they would only release a pump-action shotgun...mmm...a whole Ruger arsenal...
@VanDaRifleman idk how many times if wished the same thing..ruger bolt, semi, handgun, revolver,.22..and shotty haha their def my favorite gun manufacture
Nice. I hope they make a blued version without the two-tone stuff. Although it is tastefully done, I'm not a fan of two-tone guns.
Now, I have to admit I'm skeptical that the target was shot at 20 yards. That small of a group, at that speed. You should consider having the video shot continuously from behind, where you walk up to the target with the cameraperson afterwards, to shut up the nay-sayers like me. :)
lol people making those idiotic comments don't make sense how about they start believing people by default until they have a reason not too excellent youtube channel you have and a great website as well
Wow, that Ruger SR1911 is quite a looker! Looks almost as good as the Kimber Customs at half the price! It's just sad that I live in CA and have to wait for the SR1911 to be approved, if it ever does :( All these damn gun laws are making me want to become a republican!

When I was young, I didn't understand and appreciate the importance of American made. Now I do. Buy American and help keep America strong.

"Certain south American versions", Lol we all know who you are referring to. I am so glad ruger has made a All American 1911 that a 9 to 5 American can afford!!

Hi Jeff. At the Gunsite shoot, did you see anyone accidently drop the magazine because the mag release is extended too much? Do you think this would be an issue if the pistol is carried inside the waistband? Thanks! Love the vids! God bless!

I never noticed anyone having that problem. In a proper holster, it should cause no problem at all.

Thanks for the reply. I would like to see more USA companies make the double stack. I have a Para P-14 frame with a Colt MK IV Series 80 Stainless Slide. Some do not like the firing pin block of the Series 80 but I do not mind the block, in my mind it is a extra level of saftey. I want a made in USA milled Stainless frame for that Colt Slide.

Do you think they will make a double stack hi-cal version?
ldgrey1963 9 months ago
Should I trade in my Colt Series 80 Stainless and get this one? Seems better built.

@Gunblastdotcom Well said! As a person coming from the sad state of California, I am very happy with the thought of owning multiple firearm despite the venom from my fella countrymen here! God bless you, and the USA!

@valflyinf you cant do anything in cali.
glock1963 9 months ago
@glock1963 Not true at all, matter of fact there are things in California that you cannot do elsewhere. The only thing wrong I see with that state is the lack of concealed carry laws. They are just a little weird about guns considering the fact that criminals will always be armed no matter what. LA prime example.

@rjake61 You cant go wrong with Ruger. Owned the sr9 and own the GP100 6 inch. Dream guns. If I had enough time to shoot I would get this one and not any other 45.
valflyinf 9 months ago
I have never been a 1911 fan but I will own this one based on two reasons. 1. It's a Ruger, I love their weapons and have never had a problem with their customer service. 2. it says MADE IN AMERICA right on it in plain view...gotta love it. Thanks for the review.

Ruger got it right. I will be buying one of these before the year is up. I will buy a quality American made 1911 before I ever buy a Springer or any other non-USA 1911.
Thank you Mr. Quinn.

I think Ruger is going in the right direction, but I think they made a mistake dicontinuing their alloy frame p-series line. No if they would only release a pump-action shotgun...mmm...a whole Ruger arsenal...

Nice. I hope they make a blued version without the two-tone stuff. Although it is tastefully done, I'm not a fan of two-tone guns.
Now, I have to admit I'm skeptical that the target was shot at 20 yards. That small of a group, at that speed. You should consider having the video shot continuously from behind, where you walk up to the target with the cameraperson afterwards, to shut up the nay-sayers like me. :)

If I was going to lie, I would have stated that it was 100 yards. I do not lie. No reason to do so.

Wow, that Ruger SR1911 is quite a looker! Looks almost as good as the Kimber Customs at half the price! It's just sad that I live in CA and have to wait for the SR1911 to be approved, if it ever does :( All these damn gun laws are making me want to become a republican!

@mkygod Single Shot Exemption Conversion. Look up some FFL's who might do this for you. It's a way to get off roster handguns in CA.
