Ruger 1911!!!

Nothing against Ruger firearms... Some of their guns are awesome. But a 1911? No interest from me... Everybody and his brother has decided to enter the 1911 fray but there are only a few 1911 brands that I have any interest in... And Colt is among those at the top of my list.

Looks nice, but I gave up on the 1911 after figuring out that I hate external safeties.
 
it's about damn time...
i've been hearing talk about one for a few years now.
well, i don't have the money, great!!!
maybe i'll talk the wife into a "sweet" deal...humm..cause i don't have the money at this time!
it'll work out on both ends...ain't much a little "sweet loving" won't get ya......
 
I bought a very nice Kimber 1911, and it ran 100% from day one. Great gun.

After shooting and carrying it for a while, I started to dislike the safety. It's simply not necessary IMO.

I always remembered to take the safety off prior to firing, but I was always paranoid that I would forget when it really mattered.

Oddly enough, I shoot my S&W M&P that costs half a much better than my old Kimber.
 
Thanks for the heads up. I found a decent review over on rugerforum.net, My NEW SR1911.
Good pix and info.

Apparently there's a loaded chamber indicator that looks a bit odd. I think I could do without that. Hey, the gun's always loaded, right ?

Video is fair game.

Loaded chamber indicators are pure failure. I will never buy another gun that has one.
My Ruger .22 pistol had one- it was causing unreliability from the start I had to remove it. They are ugly, unnecessary, and a deal breaker.

I gotta call bullshit on that. My Glock 26 has a loaded chamber indicator and I've had 0 problems with it after thousands of rounds.

And it's remained worthless after thousands of rounds.

at best- with a gun that has one designed in, it is pointless. Adding one to classic designs is completely asinine.

That sentence is meaningless. My G26 has proven to be extremely accurate and completely reliable. That fact that you don't like a certain feature has no bearing on whether a gun is good or not.
 
Wow, you think? It isn't apparent after reading some of your posts. Keep trying though!
