#Sr1911

Sturm, Ruger, & Company was founded by William B. Ruger and Alexander McCormick Sturm in 1949, using a small rented machine shop in Southport, Connecticut. Since launching their first pistol 75 years ago, the .22-caliber “Ruger Standard” which led to a series of some of the most successful rimfire handguns in history, the company has grown to be one of the largest and most popular firearms manufacturers in the world. Throughout 2024, they will be commemorating their 75th anniversary with some special editions of several of their products. One of these will be a Diamond Anniversary Limited Edition SR1911 pistol. Get the details on this new .45ACP handgun in their recent press release, copied below.

Ruger has announced a new pistol into their fold and it is very fitting considering the timing. With only one more day to the celebration of our independence, Ruger has paid homage to John Moses Browning with another iteration of the iconic model 1911. Their newest offering is what they are calling an SR1911 Officer-Style. It does not receive the straight-up name of Officer because it features a 3.6″ barrel as opposed to the classic 3″ size.

As we continue to inch closer and closer to SHOT Show one day at a time, Ruger is opening the floodgates on all of the new firearms they will be tantalizing us with, in 2018. They have announced a flurry of firearms so far, but they have even more pistols to show us.

For the fans of 10mm, the choices of affordable handguns chambered in the hard-hitting cartridge is a bit on the slim side. In the episode of TFB TV, Patrick takes the Ruger SR1911 in 10mm out to the range and puts some rounds down range. The SR1911 has some solid features given the price point that the pistol is normally available at online retailers. If you are looking for a 10mm single stack handgun, this is one to consider.

Fans of the 10mm 1911 have a new gun to consider the next time they wander into a local gun shop: the Ruger SR1911.

Ruger announced an SR1911 Target today to round out their offerings of the popular 1911. It is not vastly different than other target 1911 models you may have seen before, but it does exude Ruger’s traditional curb appeal.

Ruger has carved out a reputation for themselves within the 1911 market as being affordable, yet having good quality. Finally, with the introduction of a 9mm in their SR1911 pistol they should gain even more followers.

The much anticipated Ruger SR1911 has arrived. The pistol features an attractive bead-blasted stainless finish and checkered hardwood grips. The best feature: the price! With a MSRP of $799, it is cheaper than similarly specced imported 1911s.
