The Ruger SR1911 delivers classic 1911 performance with modern manufacturing precision and stainless steel construction that resists corrosion in harsh conditions. This full-size 45 ACP pistol combines traditional single-action reliability with contemporary features that serious shooters demand.
What Makes This Different
Unlike basic 1911 variants, the SR1911 features a precision-cast stainless steel frame and slide machined to exact tolerances for consistent lockup and enhanced accuracy. The extended beavertail grip safety and memory groove provide superior hand positioning compared to mil-spec designs. Ruger's modern manufacturing ensures parts consistency that exceeds many custom shop builds at a fraction of the cost.
