New Ruger Lightweight 5” 1911

[Polecat]

Two coolest 1911’s every had was a .40 SA, and LW SA 9mm. Wish I never got rid of ‘em!

HeavyDuty, looking forward to your adventures with your new Ruger 1911.

FWIW, 2nd best price on line I have seen (so far). I have dealt with these guys a number of times. Satisfactory service

I only drop this because I have had Dack take 4 and then another time 6 weeks once to fill my order for stuff.

$600 for a decent knock-off of a lightweight 1911?

This is really petty, but I wish that they had used the same dark grey finish on the frame that they did on my LW Officers. That’s a traditional Ruger color.

I like a two-tone, but it has to be dark on top for me. I find the opposite garish for some reason.

for a decent knock-off ...

fingers crossed our tester's find that to be the case, if so I am headed back to that shop to fill another slot in my safe....

I generally agree, but I really like the stainless over dark grey on the Officers:

Dack was quick this time - 9 days to my FFL. It took me a week to get there after it arrived.

Get the price on the 9mm Commander down and it would be very tempting.

Yeah - I still don’t get the difference in pricing.

On the other hand, if I wanted a poly 9mm with a great SAO trigger, I have a spare match trigger kit I could put in a USPc9. And a bunch of mags, enough of which are 10-rounders.
