Hang in there. If you you can tough out the wait, your patience will be rewarded with a first rate .45. Too bad they won't sell you the display model.

A month ago! :lol:

ELEVEN months for me! April of 2011 when they were "introduced" even though I have yet to meet one in person.

How many are hiding out in NNW? 7-8?

The wait is worth it!

It seemed to me that the GS's in the northeast US were getting supplied before the rest of the US so I searched the internet and found one store that was expecting a SR1911. He got it in late Wednesday and sent it my way yesterday. My local FFL will get it to me late next week. I got it for less than MSRP. They are out there if you are diligent (and a little lucky).

Wow! Somethings wrong with that picture. Have you tried a different dealer? I ordered mine on April 30Th and had it in less than two weeks. And I think it's because my dealer went out and found one, by simply making a few phone calls. Maybe it's because you're in Illinois. :lol:

Just kidding! I lived in Illinois for 13 years.

Yes and no. Meaning .... we're in a small town of under 50,000 people and I own a business. There's 3 shops in the area and I'm first on each list. I just insist on buying locally as I hope and pray my customers will do the same.
Foolish? Perhaps. However, I try hard to practice what I preach.

Maybe it's because you're in Illinois.

Honestly ~ that wouldn't surprise me a bit!

Good for you Hittman. I try and buy locally also whenever I can. I wish we could get our government to do the same. lol

I also was on many waiting lists for many months here in Illinois. Feb. 21st I decided to swing by GAT guns in Dundee and as soon as I walked in they were putting a SR1911 in the display case. I of course purchased it and was told they had received three. When I went that Saturday to pick it up they were having a factory shoot and surprisingly still had a SR1911 in the display case. I don't know if they do transfers but their website says it's in stock.

I feel your pain, I have been searching as well. Yesterday I went to a gun show about 100 miles away, after not finding anything good there I went to the big chain store in that town. I talked to one salesman for awhile and was pretty sold on a Kimber stainless 2 they had but I decided to think awhile on it. Then I talked to another salesman at the same store and he put it all in perspective for me. As he said, " there is a reason why I have a case full of Kimbers and a waiting list for the Ruger". The Kimber he was refering to was priced at $899 and the Ruger at $699. I know price does affect some but he felt it was more due to value and quality of the Ruger. I have no patience but in this case I paid for the Ruger (special order) and will wait my turn. Hopefully it comes in soon like the salesman thought (2-3 weeks).

I have a second one that is headed my way. I don't need two, send me a PM and we can figure out what it will cost or if there is a way to ship it directly to your FFL. I will be in it for ~775 or slightly +- depending on shipping.
Hope I can make someone else's day, see this thread for the last one I found and gave away.

About a month ago, I posted that I knew where 8 SR1911's were at $635, and offered to turn anyone on to them that PM'ed me for the address. I heard from 2 people. Not sure why people are still looking for these at $700 +++ or can't find them at all ..... No idea if the guy still has them a month or so later, but he did then. So if you're 'still waiting' ... I don't know what for ....
