Who likes their SR1911??

[Fremmer]

With all due respect, the mark is ugly and shouldn't happen. If ruger is gonna use MIM parts, they should make them without mars or marks or gouges or whatever. And that's the price difference between a ruger and a kimber.

I'd love to own one, but not with ugly marks (even if it is only cosmetic). Jmho, ruger owners rock on! Hopefully they change that.

Ruger doesn't make 'em, and any MIM part will have SOME indication of an injection point.

Not like those marks. Those are pretty rough. But they can improve. Ruger is a good company.
Edited to add: thanks a lot, I now want a ruger 1911.

 

[DPris]

I never even noticed the one on the sample I have here till I read about it on this forum.
Don't look at that part of the hammer & life goes on.

There's another thread on this already, but I posted the responses I got from Ruger's customer service. They know about the mark, but if you're uncomfortable with it, they will send you a replacement.

 

[DPris]

And the replacement will have the same mark.
Denis

 

[HarcyPervin]

Yep, but it's a free back up

 

[DPris]

True.

I like mine; it is my third. Acquired the first last summer.

The first two, I rejected outright because of the J-cut on the slide's breech face not being finished, and badly. I settled on the third pistol because its breech face was a tiny bit better than the first two and Ruger told me to get lost. I can fix the breech myself after all, but I don't enjoy having to finish a brand new gun.

The throat on this one's barrel is extraordinarily short, but I've adapted my handloads to run 100%.

I recently bought four Chip McCormick mags and went out this past Sunday morning to check their reliability in the SR1911; 100 rounds and not a single, solitary hiccup.

It really is a fine pistol.

I'll soon be getting a pair of VZ Operators for it and some grip tape for the front strap.

SR1911CMD is my first firearm; birthday present to myself on my 21st.
$717 after tax.
Looking forward to the great performance I've been hearing about on the site.

If the one here is typical, don't expect too much in accuracy.
Otherwise, not too bad.

How steep is the feed ramp? I have another 1911 GI model and the feed ramp is almost vertical which makes it VERY picky on what ammo it eats.

 

[DPris]

Couldn't give you a quantitative answer, but two 230 & two 185 JHPs fed perfectly through testing here. Including Black Hills steel-cased stuff.

Just got one. Haven't fired it, yet, but still love it.

I typically only shoot ball ammo through .45s, so I expect no issues.

Hope this helps.

 

[newbuckeye]

Awesome Picture, Cuban. And that leads me to another question.....How far up is the round when the mag is fully inserted? I can't test that at the gun store......(going tomoro!)

 

[CUBAN]

Check it out

 

[newbuckeye]

Thanks! I think that alone would solve many of the feeding issues I have with my ATI. I bought some SJHP and EVERY round goes straight into the feed ramp and will not feed. I know they were designed for ball ammo, but I won't carry FMJ for SD.

I sold mine cuz it galled.

 

[DPris]

The Rugers should not be galling.
Typically galling in a stainless 1911 was caused by using the same stainless formulation in slide and frame.
The Ruger frames are 416 stainless bar stock for the slide and a proprietary cast formulation for the frame.
Two different stainless steels generally don't gall in 1911 applications.

Mine galled and it wasn't the only one.

WOW! What a great way to start a gun collection! I hope it leads to a lot more quality purchases. Good price too.

 

[DPris]

The one here hasn't, first time I've heard of one of the Rugers doing it.
