Ruger SR1911: Initial Range Report

[Dynamis]

I decided to go ahead and shoot the Ruger SR1911 this evening to get a base feel for it's accuracy. I shot a speed test and an accuracy test. Overall, I really like this pistol. If fed and ejected all shots well and didn't cause any problems.

The grip and feel are typical of a 1911. The trigger is average. I was holding center of the head and neck. The rear sight needs to be drifted a little to the right. I held to the right of the head on a few shots, which placed them more to the center.

Here are the results.

Ruger SR1911
230gr Remington
10 Yards/30 feet
Head = Accuracy, 1-2 seconds between sight pictures.
CM = More speed with .5+/- seconds between sight pictures.

Nice and clean before shooting.

I've heard nothing but good things about these 1911s, especially for their price range!

[Dynamis]

Yes, both factory mags as well as (2) Chip McCormick's.

I believe it will replace the Springfield GI, Milspec, RIA, Remington, Taurus, Para GI and all other entry level 1911's. In my opinion, the SR1911 is equivalent to a mid range ($750) 1911.
