I have been thinking of getting a 100th year 1911 of some flavor. This may have me thinking even more seriously!

I've seen where some folks hearing about this were worried that there would be too much text on the slide. It looks like there is something on the dustcover but I like the looks of this one.

I wonder if the frame and slide are forged or the usual Ruger investment casting?

"The much anticipated Ruger SR1911 has arrived. The pistol features an attractive bead-blasted stainless finish and checkered hardwood grips. The best feature: the price! With a MSRP of $799, it is cheaper than similarly specced imported 1911s.

The slide is CNC machined and the frame made using investment casting. The plunger tube for the slide stop and for the thumb safety is integral to the frame, so it can’t come loose. Interestingly, the barrel and bushing are matched sets and are produced from the piece barstock. Ruger says this results in a “precise fit and improved accuracy”.

The pistol is modeled after the Colt Series 70 1911, the 1911 design Colt produced in the 1970s. In the 1980s Colt introduced the Series 80 pistols features a firing pin block. The Ruger SR1911 lacks the firing pin block and instead uses a titanium firing pin and heavy firing pin spring which the company says “negates the need for a firing pin block, offering an updated safety feature to the original “Series 70″ design without compromising trigger pull weight”."

I might have to look into one myself.

“precise fit and improved accuracy”. Means 3 inch groups? But for the price it will be hard to beat.

This pistol was at the NRA Convention in Pittsburgh last weekend.
It was impressive & seemed to be well made. Fit & Finish was top notch, as to be expected.
Hoping to be able to shoot one of these (& the scout rifle) with in the next month  ;)
