Very nice. Gotta add a 1911 to my collection. Tough to find a quality one, that doesn't command top dollar.

Whoever dies with the most guns wins!

Ok... only said that cuz Sammich I think, buys about one a week.

I recently added a 1911 to my collection. I bought a Remington R1. Right out of the box, I was hitting a 3/4" group at 17 yards at the indoor range. Pretty happy with that as I've had several pistols that were no where NEAR that.

Let us know how it feels when you get the chance.

The place that you got it from, do they have a website? No one seems to have them and I know somebody that is looking for one here in CA. Thanks!

Is that question directed at me or noobz?

My SR1911 was bought at a local store. I know most places have a 5 month waiting period to get one around here. I heard Ruger hired another shift of workers just to meet demands.

You Sammich, thanks. So did you have to wait 5 months as well? I keep hearing different thing, one is that Ruger knocks out between 100 to 150 SR1911's daily and still can't keep up with orders. Another, they were not in production at the moment, local stores will be 'informed' when they become available. This is supposedly a response from Ruger to some dude that emailed them directly. So who knows.

Actually, my father found one at a gun store out in the middle of no where. When he went to the local gun store last week, he saw them pulling out new firearms that came off the truck. He saw one come off and bought it and gave it to me.

He said one officer at the local PD bought three of them and was marking up the price for private sales because their hard to get here lol
