First Remington and now...gasp....Ruger

It may not put $400 RIA's out of business, but at "street" price of 600 or so it will own that part of the market.

I'm trying to find actual dealers at a distributor, but I think the price may be closer to 6 then 7. If that is the case the average buyer (where I live) will not even consider the RIA for a Ruger. Ruger has the name and will be advertised as a all USA made gun. With the real sights, integral tube, supposed build quality.....it will be a huge seller. (If it isn't a POS).

Product launches have been a bitch for Ruger in the past. The fact that they claim to have actual 1911 gunsmiths overseeing the production process gives me some hope that they have learned something......maybe.

Well until one of us buy one of the Ruger 1911's and does a comparsion don't condemn them yet............
And compare them to a 1911 in the same price Range like Remington R1...

just saw this write up on the Ruger over on the other forum: http://www.gunblast.com/Ruger-SR1911.htm

some nice pics and descriptions. That is definitely the same reciever sold by Caspian. They have a good pic of it stripped down.

I cant wait for of us to get one and tell us what they think. :-)
