Gunner, Ruger will want you to send them the entire pistol and both factory mags. They shot 22 rounds of Black Hills thru mine both times I had to send it back to them. They will email you a FedEx 2nd day air label to send it back to them.

Really? This is getting out of hand. My SR1911 is my first 1911 and I like it, I like it a lot but I know there are better quality and much more expensive 1911's being made out there, Ed Brown, Les Baer,Wilson Combat......... the list goes on. I would love to own one of them and I may one day...

rev, I have no plans at this point to swap out any parts besides perhaps the Mag release, if I don't end up reworking it to solve the aftermarket mag issue I and several others seem to be having. I like the SR1911 just as it is and I know its not a $3500 Ed Brown or another high end pistol. I...

Thanks for pointing me at my own thread :-) I was asking about which aftermarket releases people may have switched out to. With the casting issues for the front sights I may slowly replace the factory black bits with aftermarkets, piece by piece, if for no other reason than to tinker and learn...

I don't ave an issue with the factory mags either because they, well Checkmate, put that small indentation on the top lip of their mags. Wilson Combat ETM series and the new Brownells mags do have that indentation, actually theirs are more noticeable than the Rugers. There must be an issue...

The indentation is on the factory Mags, not the release. It's small and not really noticable on the factory mags until you really look at them and compaire them to aftermarkets. I bought some Chip McCormick Power Mags and when I inserted them is when I noticed the drag and ther need for a firmer...

I have come to find out Ruger factory mags have a small indentation on the top right side that helps it get past the mag catch when inserting a mag. Most aftermarket mags do not have this, i.e the much loved 47D's where as the 500 series ETM's do. I can rework the factory catch to ease passage...

Looks like somebody is really Bored........ I almost think someone here works for Ruger as defensive or should I say insulting as the post are from some one...... I for one love my SR1911 but the front sight issue is something I should not be dealing with as the problem surfaced over a year ago...

The point is they should not be breaking, especially now over a year later from when the problem started. The cheap plastic sights on my Glock, and yes I will be changing them on my dime and I have no issues with Glock installing that sight stock, are stronger than a metal part from Ruger...

Will do. Just wanted to ck. Its easy enough to tweek the factory part or go aftermarket for $30 or so.

Do the 47D's have the indent like the factory mags? I see where the 500 series Wilson's have it but can't find a pic of the right side of the 47D's

Well I emailed Ruger Customer service since it was the day before Thanksgiving and surprisingly I got both an email and phone call in less than 30 mins. After talking with the rep for awhile its going back to the shop for the replacement, it will not break, new front sight. I was told there was...

Well, after about 600 rounds in total thru my SR1911 I experienced the dreaded "Where did my front sight go!!!!" My pistol was manufactured in May of this year and I was hoping Ruger had gotten this CHRONIC issue corrected. I will not replace it with the same failure prone part. Any suggestions...

Thanks for the quick reply.

Does someone know the size of the allen wrench needed to remove the screws?
