Well last night I went to my shooting club and walked in and saw a Ruger SR1911 sitting in the showcase. I had deposits on two of them at Dante in Montreal since June 30th. Low and behold here was one available right then and there. I asked the price and of course it was a little inflated at $799. I was about to pull the trigger on it anyway but when I handled it, I found it extremely loose compared to my other 1911s. In fact it sounded like a can of bolts when I shook it! I was quite disappointed. Today after work, I went to Dante (I work right around the corner ) with the intention of canceling my order and buying something else such as another Sig 1911 or possibly a SW1911 E. Well I was told that they got 10 of the SR1911s this morning! So after telling Rudy that I was disappointed with the one I saw the night before, he told me I could take my pick of the 10. So that is what I did! There were some that were tighter than others but out of the ten , I found 2 that were tight "as a duck's ass" as they put it. It was really cool being able to choose from 10 guns. I am really happy with the 2 I landed up with. There were a couple that were rattle cans like the one I had seen last night and the rest would have been acceptable but I lucked out and got 2 that the slide to frame fit was noticeably better than the rest. I waited all of 2 weeks only had to wait 2 weeks to get them. Incidentally, for anyone that's looking for one in Montreal, there are 3 that are not spoken for and the price is right at $677. They may even let you choose your favorite out of the bunch!

Hopefully it stays tight because there have been rumors from other forums that they seem to loosen up considerably after substantial use.
Who's saying these things? I'm on a list and I'd like to know if these are trouble in the making before hand.
