The Ruger SR1911 Officer-Style delivers full-size 1911 performance in a compact 3.6-inch barrel configuration. This 9mm variant combines traditional 1911 ergonomics with modern materials and manufacturing precision for reliable everyday carry and range performance.
What Makes This Different
Ruger's SR1911 Officer features a lightweight aluminum frame with tungsten gray Cerakote finish that resists corrosion and wear better than traditional bluing. The serrated stainless steel slide provides enhanced grip during press checks and malfunction clearing. Unlike many compact 1911s that sacrifice reliability for size, this model maintains the platform's legendary accuracy while reducing overall length by 1.25 inches compared to full-size variants.
Key Features
- 3.60-inch black steel barrel with target crown for enhanced accuracy
- Lightweight aluminum frame reduces carry weight to approximately 29 ounces
- Deluxe checkered G10 grips provide secure hold in wet conditions
- Extended beavertail grip safety eliminates hammer bite

The Officer-Style platform excels in concealed carry applications where full-size pistols prove impractical. The 9mm chambering offers manageable recoil for follow-up shots while maintaining sufficient stopping power. Cerakote finish withstands daily carry wear and environmental exposure better than traditional finishes. The G10 grip panels maintain texture even when wet, crucial for defensive applications.
