Ruger Number Eight

[Wolfie303]

So yesterday I brought the eighth Ruger into the house, and I will admit, it was a complete impulse buy. Well, I've wanted a smaller 1911, I just didn't need one. But then I touched it and you know where that leads.

With his big sister:

I'm still loving having all this fancy stuff on a 1911. LOL! That other one is a Springfield Mil-Spec that had a not so good life before I acquired it. Not the best looking gun, but it is a heck of a performer. And I expect the Ruger will make a good competitor for it.

I don't see anything wrong above. Only 8 Rugers,,,,???? Your case of Rugeritis isn't too bad,,,, yet,,,,!
I have a few 1911's myself. Including a Ruger.

I love the looks of a 1911 but for some reason don't care for the gun as a shooter. But the Ruger is a nice looking pistol.

And get yourself some more Rugers!

Nice addition to the collection!

Very nice Ruger 1911, I've noticed the commander series is finally coming down in price. Every time I start looking at them along comes another flat top or two. I guess it keeps me trying to reach that carrot dangling out in front.

Well, I shot the thing this past weekend... this is going to be a long friendship. 100 rounds, not a single hiccup, and chewed out a nice big tight hole in the target. Magazines are a little tight, but nothing that can't be fixed.

Yeah, I know, I only have eight. But I have a wishlist much bigger than that, believe me.

I hear that a lot. I guess it depends on the person. I've got a nice variety of guns, and I seem to to best with the 1911 and guns similar in style. It could just be all the metal, but who knows.

They are good shooters and will shoot 200 grain cast SWC with out a hiccup. About 4000 rds from now everything really comes together.
