<p>The Ruger&reg; SR1911&reg; Semi-Auto Pistol is the same design as the standard-issue 45 caliber M1911 sidearm used by the United States Armed Forces from 1911 to 1985, only made Ruger tough with modern features you would only expect on a custom gun. The Ruger SR1911 is made of high quality stainless steel, manufactured with an ultra-modern precision CNC-controlled machining process that results in a superior slide-to-frame fit, and smooth cycling of the action. The barrel and bushing are also machined from stainless steel to provide excellent accuracy. The frame and slide of the Ruger 1911 are finished with a low-glare bead-blasted finish, and the slide is serrated to provide a positive grip while cycling the action by hand. To enhance the potential accuracy of the Ruger SR1911, the pistol features a lightweight, aluminum skeletonized trigger, with an adjustable over-travel stop. The trigger pull is light and crisp with no creep, with a quick, positive reset. A lightweight skeletonized hammer provides instant lock time, and ample serrated surface for positive thumb engagement. The Ruger 1911 has an oversized beavertail grip safety, and an extended thumb safety and slide stop lever provide for fast, positive manipulation. A visual inspection port allows for a visual confirmation that chamber is loaded. The slide on the SR1911 is dovetailed for both front and rear sights; the pistol comes with a Novak&reg; LoMount Carry rear sight and standard front sight that provide optimal target acquisition with a 3-dot sight system, and are ideal for holster carry. The Ruger SR1911 Semi-Automatic Pistol uses standard 1911 magazines, and accepts all standard 1911 parts, and aftermarket 1911 accessories. The M1911 pistol has proven itself over years to be a rugged and reliable sidearm for self defense,&nbsp;Ruger has proven for years they can manufacture high quality firearms at an affordable price,&nbsp;combining the two results in the Ruger SR1911&mdash;one of the best handguns for self defense of all time.&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li>Lightweight skeltonized hammer provides instant lock time</li> <li>Oversized beavertail grip safety and extended thumb safety</li> <li>Novak LoMount Carry rear sight</li> <li>Standard front sight with 3-dot sight system</li> </ul>
