After searching high and low I finely found one, a Ruger sr1911. makes a great addition to the stable. I would show pictures but I can't do anything with this format

I've seen 2 of them. Both were being walked around gun shows in November and December. Much too high a price asked for them. They look interesting. Fit and finish on the one i got to hold seemed pretty good. Don't think I'd be afraid to buy one at a reasonable price when things cool down on them.

But for Shug, glad you got one. Let us know how it operates.

Saws one today at the Nashville show. Guy was walking it. One of the grip panels was sloppy loose but it looked good other than that. Guy was only wanting 750 for it.

Seen one at the gun shop in Jackson Tn.Congrats on the purchase

Which shop j?

I saw one when they first came out at Direct Hit but at the time they wanted a bit over 800 for it IIRC and I wasnt going to spend that for one. I have seen one other one at Classic Arms in Bartlett but it was on lay-away for someone else.

I dont and never have had a 1911 as of yet.

I got the bug last year that I wanted to get one during the 100 year anniversary of our military starting to use them, and then being a big Ruger fan when they offered their first I figured that one would be the one. There is no doubt that they are fine looking firearms. But since I like to carry a bit more capacity if I ever do buy one I am sure that it would spend most of it's time in the safe.

Still I wouldnt mind having one just to put up for my boys to have one day (which means I really would need two) but even 700 is a lot for me to spend for something that will mostly just sit in the safe. I will just have to wait and see if they ever become plentiful enough that the prices come down some.

I was in Direct Hit saturday and they had one.I didnt pay attention to the price though.

I know they had one at the gun show a few weeks ago and it was a little over 700.

Aren't they awsome?! I finally got to shoot mine a couple days ago and I love it! However, I hope your front sight doesn't snap off after a couple hundred rounds like mine did :rant: A quick call to Ruger though and I had a new sight in the mail within three days. Other than that one issue it's a sweet shooter!

Saw one today in the Hendersonville show. Looked pretty good, so I politely asked the price. After getting the power of speech back, I thanked the young man for his time and left. Oh, the price? $899. I believe I can wait.

Same way it's always been... Host it on Photobucket (or similar) and post it here.

I saw the one at Direct Hit earlier this week. IIRC he was asking right at $800.

Wait a minute! What's that tupperware doing up there!?!??!?!?! One of these is NOT like the others!

(just poking fun ... I own two glocks and plan to buy more in the future :) I also got lucky and found an SR 1911 too a few months back).

Very nice!!!!

Congrats on the SR 1911! I don't need another 1911, but when I find one at a reasonable price, I'll have to get it.

Saw one at the Clinton show. It was only 650. The guy said he has had it for a while and it obviously did because the box had some blue rub marks so has been packed and unpacked a couple of times. I am just not a 1911 guy. It was nice.
