Two Ponies Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Just saw my copy of Guns and Ammo and they were highlighting the Premier of the new RUGER SR 1911. It looks amazingly like many of the other 1911 styles and because I am not too up to date on all the features and rules want to know if the white sites are blacked out will it qualify for the Traditional class in a Wild Bunch SASS match. Are these guns hitting the gun stores yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizzly Dave Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I want one real bad, though I'd probably either wait until the offer the ambi safety or get one put on as I'm left handed. Grizz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry T Harrison Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I had a chance to handle one at the NRA exhibits today, nice gun there was nothing that I didn’t like about it. I want one. The Ruger rep said that they are being shipped now so the decision what gun in the safe can I live without to make room for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Coffinmaker Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Henry T, Don't "Make Room." Just get a bigger safe Coffinmaker PS: Also fondled the "new" SR1911. Nice. However ............. Springfield Armory's display was ........ AWSOME!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithy Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Are these guns hitting the gun stores yet? Nope, but their gearing up in that department has kept them from producing a whole lot of other models like the Ruger Alaskan in 454 or any caliber in the 2 1/2" barrel length for that matter. Sour grapes I guess. I'm sure the 1911 will be one heck of a nice shooter once it does arrive on dealer's shelves. Smithy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
