Ruger SR1911

[DMBFan]

The only problem with Whittakers is, now if you want to buy and harder to find gun you have to get there atleast 12 hours in advance or someone else will beat you to the line. Not really complaining though. I waited in line all night just to be behind the person to get the last AR for the day. Still picked up two of the mag tactical stripped lowers and had a pretty good time with everyone else there.

I can vouch for that. Got mine there on a Ruger Days event.

i work in kentucky, a guy i work with was in the store after the ruger days event, the lady yelled out, ruger 1911's unpacking now, so chris(the guy i work with) said can i see one? she said yes, he replied "i'll think about it" she replied back, "well dont think too long, we only got 30" so he bought it, the other 29 were gone that day!

now the question i have is? who did whitakers sell their soul to to get 30 sr1911's at one time?,(and that was not including the 30 they got for ruger days!) from what i hear, distributors dont get 30 at one time!

ive said it before, i love rugers, but i hate ruger at the same time, announcing new guns, and not keeping up with production on the models they already make?, id rather them make enough full size guns before they make commanders!

Can anyone comment on the performance? Particularly vs. Kimber or Colt? (both more expensive 1911s, admittedly) Or vs. a Springfield? (more comparably priced) I would also like to pick one an SR1911 but have never fired one. Interested in any comments/opinions...

It keeps us fish on the line. Bigger profit in the plastic guns, the shops I have been too in the last couple days are full of plastic. Two more stops today, then if no SR1911 they can keep them.

I saw one at Bob's today (PSS) when I was looking at 1911's. They had a selection to coon finger. I came home with a sweet SA stainless loaded.

I saw all kinds of plastic and S&W, Colt, Tarus, Glocks handguns, just not "bigfoot".

 

[churchmouse]

I swear there was some Ruger's in the case. I was debating on the S&W "E" series stainless but the loaded SA was hands down a much nicer piece.

My buddy picked one up at Blythes in Griffith for $699.00 a few months ago. By the time I got here to get one....you guessed it....gone!

Highsmith's had one in their case today, but priced at $799

Because Whitakers is one of the largest volume sellers in the country. The gun makers take care of him...especially Ruger.

I scored an SR1911 today from an online store.

MSRP is now $829, there wont be any more $600 SR 1911's.

I've fondled one and honestly I'd take a sa loaded over the ruger...

 

[FNRA Scott]

I'm just going to put this right here...

haha. Sorry, I couldn't resist. I looked for a long time to find one at a price I was willing to pay. I gave up for a little while, but eventually was able to track down the elusive SR1911.

Thanks for posting the picture.
I have ammo- just don't have a 45. If I get one, it will be THIS one. Just need to save my nickels, dimes and quarters.
I didn't realize they were hard to get ahold of. I guess you need to be at the right place at the right time- WITH CASH!

I just want one 1911 from each maker.
