The Ruger SR1911 in 10mm Auto delivers serious stopping power in a precision-engineered 1911 platform. This full-size pistol combines the proven 1911 design with modern manufacturing techniques and premium stainless steel construction for enhanced durability and corrosion resistance.
What Makes This Different
The SR1911 features Ruger's Series 70 firing system with a titanium firing pin, eliminating the need for a firing pin safety while maintaining drop safety. The stainless steel construction provides superior corrosion resistance compared to traditional carbon steel 1911s. Ruger's investment casting process ensures consistent tolerances and reliable function straight from the factory.
Key Features
- 10mm Auto chambering provides superior ballistic performance over .45 ACP
- 8-round magazine capacity with extended base pad for positive grip
- Stainless steel frame, slide, and barrel construction
- Low-glare stainless finish reduces reflection in tactical situations
- Novak 3-dot sights with drift-adjustable rear sight
- Checkered hardwood grips with Ruger logo medallions
- Standard 1911 accessory compatibility including holsters and grips
The 10mm cartridge delivers approximately 650 ft-lbs of energy compared to 400 ft-lbs from standard .45 ACP loads, making this pistol effective for hunting medium game, competitive shooting, and serious personal protection. The 5-inch barrel maximizes velocity potential from 10mm ammunition while maintaining the classic 1911 sight radius. Stainless steel components resist environmental corrosion in humid conditions where blued steel would show wear.
