Thanks for that. I just ordered one each of the rubber and granulated front straps for my SR1911. Shipping to Canada is $5.
It's still better than trying to make them yourself.
If companies like Ruger and Colt etc didn't cheap out they would just machine in grooves or checkering in the front strap and we wouldn't have to add on this stuff. Another option is the rubber wrap-around grips like I have on my Colt GCT or the Pachmayr
So back to the original topic. Does anyone sell the blued version of the SR 1911 in Canada?

I don't know that Ruger makes blued ones. You can get them Nitron treated of course. (not blue, but sorta black)
It's actually nitrided stainless. I thought it was blued.

close.
its Black Nitride'd stainless.
You have/had one didn't you Wayup?
I meant to say nitrided, fixed it above. This POS iPhone keeps inserting/replacing words on me.
The SR1911 is aimed at a price point. To say they can just add features and they are cheap because they don't is in my view unreasonable. In my view the SR1911 is a very good economical 1911. It is not intended to compete with higher end products. In my view they have included a number of enhancements with this product and it provides very good value for money. Where do you draw the line, do you expect to get an Ed Brown for $900? I don't.
They've got some cool stuff. I have to check them out. Thanks for the tip.
