Wolf Bane, SASS 13557 Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I've shot both prototype and production models, and they are pretty impressive guns (keeping in mind that Ruger is a sponsor of my shows, so I am a relentless whiore and pathetic shill). Key point for me is that Ruger made the (expensive) decision to manufacture almost all of their own parts; my understanding is that they're going to offer a line of Ruger-branded 1911 parts. This gives Ruger complete cotrol over a major source of quality problems with 1911s. Both Marshal Hallkoway and I have spent a lot of time in the Ruger factory on the 1911 line, and we were pleasently surprised as some of the decisions Ruger made -- using EDM to cut the breech face, for example. The frames and slide are machined from bar stock; interestingly enough, the barrel and bushing are cut from the same piece of bar stock. Was also very impressed with assembly, under the close eye of 1911 master gunsmiths. Videos up at DRTV; this week's podcast DOWN RANGE Radio will also focus on the Ruger SR1911...

Guest Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 The frames and slide are machined from bar stock; Wolf Bane SASS13557 Are you positive on that?

Grizzly Dave Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I WANT ONE! Now if I could just find the money... Hey Bane, side by side, how does it compare against say the Remington 1911R1? I never did buy the Remington, bills wiped out the gun fund before I was able to buy it. With the new Ruger 1911, maybe that was a good thing...

Marshal Halloway, SASS #3411 Reg. Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Are you positive on that? I'm pretty sure your video shows & you state that the frames are cast (at Pine Tree)... Correct. The slide, barrel and bushing are machined from bar stock at the Prescott factory, frame is cast from their Investment Casting facility in NH. In the future and if the market wants it, Ruger will be able to produce up to 16 different configurations of this 1911. I would not be surprised if we'll a Wild Bunch version as well, but I think we have to wait until 2012 before that happens.

The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Unless Ruger is willing to install a mag.-disconnect device(can't fire with mag removed)we will NOT see one in PRK Call the Ca. DOJ to confirm this LG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
