Ruger Custom Shop 1911

But my point is that the author is inexperienced at best. Which is a shame upon the American Rifleman which used to be a moderately technical publication.

The American Rifleman piece is more of a detailed press release rather than a review.

This might be one of those things they are really are not that interested in selling many of.

Yeah. I wonder how many they expect to sell. This might be an interesting shift for Ruger who I'm sure is used to doing things on a maximum volume for maximum profit kind of thing. Not that that's a bad way to run a company it hasn't been their usual modus operandi.

only two 10 round magazines? ship with 3, so you can compete on day one.

Depends on what mags it ships with. I’ve had 4 9mm 1911s (still have 2), and I never used the mags they came with, including my Smith that came with Wilson’s.

I figure they want Koenig shooting a "Commercial Off The Shelf" product that "anyone" can go into a store and buy. They seem to have sourced a few parts that they typically would build, plugged them in at a profit, and if they build Qty100 and their team takes twenty of them they did what they wanted to, including create some www chatter. I say this is like the L-88 Corvette, they don't really expect people to buy many of them. Keep a watch for a future Distributor Exclusive with many of the same features without the expensive purchased components. But all this is just the internet chatter of a gun nut nobody

That's probably 100% On Target, right there!

Thanks for linking the video. It helps explain what this pistol is and why.
