Has anybody seen or shot one of the new Ruger 1911s? What was your impression?

 

I wish Ruger had these available, especially if a 9mm existed.

Seen and held one when it was first released and a customer hadn't come pick it up yet, and NEVER again.. pretty hot item.

The Ruger 1911 was only available in .45 ACP, when it was available. Ruger has a real homerun with this gun and as such the backlog was already long. Add to that, there are rumors that they had to halt production temporarily, due to toolmarks on the slides and you have just exacerbated an already long wait.

 

At least they actually had them when introduced - not like Sig that teases you with pictures and ficticious release dates a year ahead of time.

 

They'll be available again, you'll just have to "hurry-up and wait".

 

Adios,
