Great idea, I've seen that done, I've also seen skateboard deck tape used. I don't think it's 100% necessary, but I do like the look of it

Thanks. I had it out last weekend and it ran perfectly. Although I don't put it in the same class, the owner of the Colt Gold Cup kept saying how much more he liked the Ruger...That Colt is a beautiful gun, even though it's older. We were shooting glass bottles at 40-50 feet at his backyard...

Thanks. I may just deal with it myself. It's an interesting deal actually. Apparently one of the shop regular buys two of everything because he doesn't like letting his wife shoot his guns....anyway, she get's to try each new one, and if she doesn't like it, he returns it. So, I got it for...

I've noticed the same issue on mine, although it's not as bad as the OP's, it is there. Will Ruger correct this for a 2nd owner? (I bought it used from a gun-store)

been off of this forum for a long time, but i did just manage to pick one up for $600....very lightly used....like a box through it or less

"If you have the need to speak to me do it to my virtual face not like a chicken sh*t on another post." This is what is wrong with internet forums.

Interesting, thanks guys.... I'm relatively new in the 1911 world. I've shot them, and plenty of other pistols, but this will be the first pistol I've purchased. Almost all of my shooting will be plinking and paper punching, but the gun will be around and available if needed. That being said...

have shot 16 rounds of Hornady 200gr. XTP with not problems.

Just curious to see if anyone had been running anything besides FMJ 230's in their SR 1911s and would care to share any results? Reliabillity, POI vs POA, groups, etc... Thanks,

I love seeing this happen ^^, enjoy, can't wait to get mine.

That would've been fun to watch him squirm. He was also bragging about how he invented a polymer lowered and polymer uppered .410 AR. When my buddy asked if he could take a look at it, "Ahh, I would, but I'd have to dig it out of the back...." The funny thing is, this guy just lost a bunch of...

I hear ya Jim, but I'm only 25, so I can wait. Update: Spoke to this guy again, and he talked himself out of getting my business. The "I can have it next week" turned into "No less than 60 days." When I asked him if he could call his distributor and ask for a general time frame, he made it...

Well, I'm going to take them, I don't have the Rev's patience, and as I said, its my first 1911. As an aside, Rev, I thought it was very interesting to hear what the dealer price is on these guns, it's a nice look behind the curtain. Sounds like you have yourself a great (friend) business to...

I agree fully. I'm not one to haggle too much on price, especially with a guy running his own business, less of an evil corporation feel to it. Suffice it to say, I'm a motivated buyer, and this will be my first 1911. I've shot a few, along with plenty others, and I loved the 1911's when I...

Buying one for my dad as well. Should've clarified that. Sorry to take a poke at ya in my first post Rev, as I said, I've been reading, just haven't chimed in until today. I guess the price jump when I called in bugged me a bit, but so it goes I guess. I told him I'm on a waiting list at...
