Leaked pics of the Ruger 1911

[Capbyrd]

Of course Ruger is going to deny. Michael Bane however has posted a few things that lend a little credence to the leaked pics. We will see though.

And of course it won't be a Kimber. it will work out of the box and cost less.

Oh man this is fantastic!

No billboard on it. 70 series design. Internal extractor. Novak sights. Left side only safety. Oversized ejection port and mag release. The LCI is just a visual deal cut into the barrel like the Springers. Comes with a 7 round and an 8 round mag as well as a bushing wrench and a soft case. I love this! Adjustable trigger.

Its like a springer loaded from what I can tell except this one is closer to what I want since it has the single sided safety.

CRAP! Just found the billboard. Its on the bottom of the frame where a rail would be on a springer operator. Doesn't bother me much but I know a lot of people will complain about it.

I actually love the roll marks on both sides of the slide.

Jeff Quinn already has his review up!

Wonder if we will see a compact version ; I would have to have one.

Jeff Quinn says that Ruger told him we would see more variations down the road.

Time to trade in the Metroarms American Classic.

id like have one, I would prefer some type of treatment on the front strap but I could surely have that added. For $800 MSRP id say they will be found for a good price. look forward to seeing one in person.

It looks great! Good price point, series 70 (no firing pin safeties!) and made in the USA! Darn! I do not need another 1911!

Gunblast.com has a nice little preview of the Ruger SR-1911. $799 msrp..might have to consider it once other versions come out.

Just watched the DRTV review and Mr. Bane said that Ruger is thinking about commander and officer sized models as well a lightweight aluminum frame in the future.

+1. Went to Gunblast and checked out the video link they have of the SR1911. They claim it has a 4 1/2 Lb trigger pull. Nice! I may have to sell something to fund a 1911 purchase.

It's probably extremely reliable, locks up tight, pretty fair accuracy and weighs 12 lbs..

Close. 39 oz. 1 ounce more than a Kimber Custom II
