New Ruger 1911 pistol

Well damn. They just had to do it. I was holding out hope too.
At least they didn't try to print the damn thing on the side of the slide....

Looks like something Mike could take care of pretty easily.

I guess if they had to do it that's the best place to have it. I'm just glad it's not on the side. I started saving up my 'she-money' (money she don't know about) as soon as I saw this thread. A couple of dollars here and a few dollars there. In a year I hope to have enough. One way or another I'm going to own a Ruger 1911.

Shortly after, they announced a recall.

Just like every other Gun manufacturer? Sig and S&W have had a lot of recalls lately too.

It would make sense on the end of a barrel too.

Gun looks cool but to be honest I don't think I'd buy just because of that disclaimer. The 1911 is such a timeless clean classic and they go and stamp that **** on there. It would make me cringe every time I turned the gun upside down and looked at the dust cover. Why don't we just slap John Browning in the face?

I agree. Unless its priced really low, I'd rather get a Springfield. The only place I've seen pre-ordering them is asking $759. For that kind of money I'd get a Range Officer any day over the Ruger...at least until they've been out for awhile and I know what kind of trigger/accuracy they have.

I've started saving too except my wife knows. A few dollars each week or until my money tree matures... and I'll be looking at purchasing one of these, preferably in a compact version.

It's the cover gun with a 1500 round test in the new issue of Shooting Times.1500 rounds,no cleaning,multiple ammos,no malfunctions,pretty impressive for a 1911.Novak dovetailed 3 dot sights and 4.5# trigger.All at a msrp of $799.Ruger may have a hit here.

They took the awesome combat pistol JMB designed, avoided all the Fudd/bullseye crap that kills the 1911 as a reliable combat pistol, and added legitimate improvements.

You down with J.M.B.? (Yeah you know me!)

Typical Ruger quality and bang for the buck in my experience. I wouldn't have expected otherwise. But it's nice to see it confirmed.

Yeah uh huh.

Not really. Many 1911s can do this.
