We all love the .45acp and it is by far the first choice for a 1911, But what cartridge would be your alternative choice in a 1911 ?
SR1911 Cartridges ?

.45-70, still a .45 but just a bit longer.
10mm might sell, many manufacturers are making target 9mm's and seem to be getting away from .38 Super.

38 Super makes Major though.

A .22LR would be nice from Ruger.
SR 1922?
SR 1922?

I understand that but the popularity of things are cyclical.
The big money shooters lately make it shooting production models. It reminds me of drag racing in the sixties and seventies, dragsters and funny cars didn't sell cars, superstock and pro stock did. If a shooter helps a maker sell 10 $3000 guns, big whip, if a comp shooter helps sell 20,000 or more $600 to $900 guns, that's money.

I think a 10mm would sell a good number.

+1 on the 10mm. But that 22 LR would be neat also.

I'd want a 10mm with a swappable .40 S&W barrel combination.

9mm makes major too (at least in USPSA/IPSC). Since the Ruger isn't a 2011 its not that important though.
10mm would not sell, you can't hardly get ammo for it and its very expensive. .40 S&W and 9mm are the only practical alternatives. I shoot 30-40x as much 9mm and .40 S&W than I do .45ACP. I shoot .40 S&W for USPSA and 9mm for Steel Challenge. Occasionally I'll shoot 9mm Super (38TJ) for USPSA Open.

The .357sig has always struck me as a no-brainer choice for serious social work, but it's hard to find, and choices are limited.

There is a 50GI conversion......

Another caliber that answered a question that no one asked ....
9MM and 10MM are the obvious choices. I have to admit, if Ruger put this gun out in 9MM, I'd be the FIRST one at my gun dealer pre-ordering it, and I'm NEVER the first one at my gun dealer pre-ordering a brand new model. EVER.

I got's no use for a 10MM, 357-Sig or any other odd ball calibers, or even a .40. Not saying that they don't have a niche, just saying that I don't have a personal use for such critters.
If I was buying a 1911-type gun in any caliber besides 45ACP, it would have to be in 38-Super. If for some reason I was limited to a 9MM, I'd much rather have a Browning HP.

Someone else mentioned a 10mm with a .40S&W conversion barrel, and I second that.
10mm for serious work, .40cal for cheap practice. It's the best of both worlds.
Ruger, are you listening? If you make a SR1911 in 10mm/40S&W I will buy one. I might even buy two, and give one to my Dad. Especially if the retail price is the same as the current SR1911 (I am assuming that the extra .40S&W barrel would cost an extra 100-200$, which I would happily shell out for).

I'm not touting it for the 1911 but for a striker fired gun or a high capacity hammer fired service pistol, the 357 Sig is intriguing.
If you're one of those ballistic types, it does look to be pretty formidable.
I don't know enough about it's reliability as a cartridge but it would probably be a good military service round.
The Chicago transit cops adopted it some years back, their reasoning was that it could easily shoot thru a train seat or rail car door and still be lethal to the subject behind that object.
I'm not sure if that's great reasoning or not but put that round in a sub machine gun and you have a nice house to house military weapon.
Just my .02.
