kc gun show, ruger 1911

[johnnymo]

Went to the kansas city gun show this morning. I saw three ruger stainless 1911s. The prices were 799, 750 and one for 725. Those were the first in person i have seen here in kc. whats the cheapest they sell for out there?

$575.00 I think someone here on the Forum reported.

Wait a year ~ once distribution catches up you'll see them regularly at $600 or under new in box and used in the $450 range. Others here will disagree, I know. Just my opinion only.

BTW ~ Negative reports about the fit, finish and firing of the gun are darn few and far between. Looks like Ruger hit a home run with how they operate.

I thought that could be alot, That would be great for 600. I hope your right on the price dropping, for now i will wait. thanks

The MSRP is $799.00, and the guy that got one for $575.00 must be a dealer, or have a good friend that is. I do believe the dealers cost is right around $545.00. You do the math. There are several threads on this forum that discuss this already. I believe there is even a poll that shows the average that people have been paying. From what I've seen most stay under MSRP.

I went to the gun show here in Norfolk today and saw them at 2 deiiferent dealers. Both of them wanted $799. I do not want a 1911 that bad

Cost from the distributor isn't much below that! If they're selling them at $575, they're makin' someone quite a deal IMO.

I saw my first one at the Dixie show in Charlotte this weekend. Been wanting one for a while but definitely was not paying the $899 he wanted for it.

Its hard to believe dealer cost is around $545. Whats the highest price ruger 1911 selling for out there lol. $899 wow any higher then that? :twisted:

I picked mine up at a dealer for 635.00 and felt good at that price. They are still hard to find. Boy does it shoot good.

Hey I got mine in the $650+ range and it shoots like a dream. My hands are small enough that I like a slimmer grip, and this one fits pretty nice. It will group with the better ones (I have a Kimber Custom Shop) and in 50 rounds I only had one round stand up in the feed. Probably do to poor gun control on my part while using nasty hollow points (not a firm enough stance for rappid fire)...the round balls were flawless. For the money, it will be hard to do better. It does need some running in and getting used to. The slide lock is very stiff on mine and needs to wear in to make it one handed release.
