Don’t get too excited, 1911 fanboys. I’m just postulating a name for a 1911 if Ruger were to make one. It’s not secret that a lot of trigger time on the SR9c has turned me in to a fan of Ruger firearms, and I’m thinking that now that the Ruger SR40 is out, a 1911 makes perfect sense. So, put it in the SR series with the SR-556 and SR9/40, make one in .45 ACP, and give it some advanced features. I guarantee that if it was priced right, it would slaughter Taurus.
Update on 18 April 2011: The new Ruger SR-1911 is here!
What advanced features would you like to see?
Is slaughtering Taurus all that hard to do in the first place?
Really?
And it wasn’t very nice to get my hopes up like that…….
A Ruger 1911 would be a very good thing!
I’d love to see a Stainless Ruger 1911, it would have to have a beavertail grip safety, target, 3 dot, and night sight options, checkered frontstrap, extended slide release, and ambidextrous safety.
An optional double stack mag frame would be good too!
Just remember the recall to fix the drop safety about 60 days after product launch! ; ]
You are gonna get like a billion google hits for that one
I just received the SR 40 but have not had time to shoot it yet. The 9mm compact did impress me though.
Hmmmm…. polymer framed SR1911?
