Anyone? I anticipate the "recall" jokes. I'm more of a revolver person myself, I'll probably skip it since I'm not a big 1911 type person though I do like Sturm Ruger quite a bit.

I'll suggest to anyone wishing to delve into the realm that is the 1911 to carefully research their purchase, and that usually entails going with a "semi custom" or full custom offering. Neither route will be inexpensive.
Given Ruger's lackluster semi automatic handgun/carbine offerings in the past, I don't see myself rushing out to procure one.
Probably not the answer you wanted to hear.
To be honest I had no preferred reply at all. I think it is a nice looking 1911 and 100% made in USA at $799MSRP seems good but I most likely will not buy one. No one buys just one 1911 so I'm not even going to open the 1911 bag to peak inside. I don't want to end up with a work bench in the garage with a parts chest and jewelers tool kit.Originally Posted by GermanSynergy

Having sold my TRP I'm now without a 1911 and don't plan to re-acquire one except some day for nostalgia reasons. In that case, it'll be something retro. I hope Ruger makes a good copy and it does well. A blued or high polish stainless with traditional GM lines would catch my attention.
I am sure it will work fine for the average Joe who puts 500 rounds a year through his gun but if you are looking for something professional grade then I would look elsewhere.
The biggest issue is that we don't need another crappy 1911 on the market. If they can compete at the Springfield level of quality or better then I can respect them. Another Taurus or crappy Philippine built gun is not what the market needs.

It's 100% made in USA. No outsourced parts whatsoever.

I... I think I want one...
The good thing is I've got until January to let my desire cool off.
At 4:34 he shoots a 20Y group (offhand) ... I wish it would have shown the shooter and the target.
That makes two of us, JV.
I don't really care where a handgun is made, so long as it is reliable, accurate and durable (P30/HK45).
