I hope Ruger does well with it. It would be good if they came out with a quality 1911 that is Made in USA. Since unless I'm mistaken the only one actually made here anymore is Colt (I'm not sure about that).
1) Colt: http://www.coltsmfg.com/
2) Kimber: http://www.kimberamerica.com/
3) Smith and Wesson: http://www.smith-wesson.com
4) Para Ordnance: http://www.paraord.com/new/product.php
(And yes Para's are now made in South Carolina instead of Canada)
5) Wilson Combat: http://www.wilsoncombat.com/
6) Dan Wesson: http://cz-usa.com/about-dan-wesson/
7) Les Baer: http://www.lesbaer.com/
8) Olympic Arms: http://www.olyarms.com/
9) Auto-Ordnance: http://www.auto-ordnance.com/PA-1AO_pkz.html
10) STI: http://www.stiguns.com/
11) Rock River Arms (custom 1911s): http://www.rockriverarms.com/
12) US Firearms: http://www.usfirearms.com/
13) Ed Brown: http://www.edbrown.com/
14) Springfield Armory: http://www.springfield-armory.com/
Ok not all Springfiend Armory guns are made in the USA, but some are.
15) Fusion Firearms, http://www.fusionfirearms.com/
There are also about a dozen or more small custom chops that make high quality, albeit expensive, 1911s.
This is not a complete list of all US 1911 manufacturers, but it is certainly a large enough list to question the need for Ruger to enter this business model. And of course there are also foreign manufacturers such as Taurus.
