There's a reason why Ruger has so many fans: They produce solid, reliable firearms that offer high-end fit and finish without a high-end price tag. There's also a reason the 1911 handgun has so many fans 106 years after its introduction: It's a solid, reliable firearm that (with proper maintenance) consumers know will still be a valid choice for self-defense, home defense, target shooting and even hunting in another hundred years. When you get a powerhouse like Ruger producing a powerhouse like the SR1911 handgun in a powerhouse round like the 10mm, you have a recipe for a highly desirable firearm. In this video, American Rifleman's Brian Sheetz walks you through the features of this full-size 1911 pistol...and if you aren't plotting to get one of your own by the end of the video, please tell us how you developed the self-restraint!
