Ruger 1911 Retouched *Pic Heavy*

[tjhaile]

They can't even catch up with back orders. They stopped taking/filling any new orders in 2013. Don't expect any changes in options until 2015 or after that. Besides, If one could buy a Ruger like the one the OP "made" the only fun left in the gun is shooting it...what kind of fun is that!?

I think it would be more fun to be able to buy exactly what I wanted and spend more time shooting it, but sometimes DIY is the only way to get what you want.

My guess is that there are a lot of gun enthusiasts that are also watch enthusiasts.

As for the gun, it looks so much better in all stainless than with the black controls as they come from Ruger. I wish Ruger would offer their 1911 in at least one of the following finish configurations:

-All stainless
-All black
-Two-tone with black slide and stainless frame and frame parts.

also 9mm for those of us who are under resourced

Finally got it out. Runs like a champ and hits well. This target was 2 handed at 10 yds. Trigger feels very light and crisp.
