Ruger 1911 Navy Seal Edition

[Lukesky]

Thinking about getting one of these guys up here. Nice looking gun.. though for the money to get it up here.. makes it super debatable haha. Anyone else 'overpay' for somewhat of a collectors edition? There were 500 made of these.

Sweet pistol! What's the damage?

 

[CdnCombatMedic]

I would over pay for a special ed Colt but not for a Ruger.

 

[Dr.Islay]

Looks like they're around the 1200 bones mark.

Looks great, price isn't too bad for a limited run pistol. I really like the polished finish and grips.

 

[Home3]

Is it all about vanity or there are other built, mechanics, quality differences too? I have to admit, it is an attractive gun.

 

[NAA]

The pistol looks nice, the grips are hideous, though.

NAA.

 

[t-star]

kind of reminds me of those franklin mint abortions

 

[Lukesky]

It will probably cost me about $1500/1550 to get it up here... Nice gun but could buy a lot of nice guns for that. It is damn good looking though haha.

 

[cableguy]

I'd never shoot it.

So it'll be kind of a waste for me.

Too many safe queens as is.

Gorgeous pistol though...Talo exclusives are always a treat to see.

 

[Can-down]

They skimped out on the front strap checkering.

 

[OldDirtyGatMasta]

Looks nice

I like that a lot more than some of the other commemorative 1911s around.

 

[Shooter1of38]

I like it, but I'm a 1911 guy (17 of them in the collection now)

As of this coming week, 2 more arriving, well kind of 2 more 1911's....only one registration though slip for "them"....)

I think you should buy it. Special run guns are never a bad idea.

 

[JR Hartman]

I'd like to find a set of those grips for my "plain" one

Here's some for a Colt

It would be nice if they added some finishing additions that actually improved the shooting ability other than that just adding pretty trim.

 

[JR Hartman]

those Colt ones are nice, but I have a Ruger pistol

 

[dallasm]

Needs checkering on the strap, minimum. Otherwise, tastefully done IMO.

So when did Ruger get a contract to supply Special Forces? The 1911 carried by some "Teams" is the SIG. So I could see SIG putting out such a pistol, but Norinco would have as much credibility selling a Seal Team pistol as Ruger does

Yep, that about sums it up. Another boring 1911, and another pathetic attempt by Ruger to capitalize on the "special forces/Tactical" fan base. Ruger did the same thing with their SR556 AR's, nothing special about them, other than the carrier tilt and excessive weight.
