I spent a good bit of time at the Ruger booth during the SHOT Show and never heard a thing about a 1911. I think they've got their hands full with the LCP, and I expect the next bomb they drop will be a 9mm version of the little guy.

I hope the 9 will be their next project.

He got this info at SHOT? Ruger is keeping mum as far as I know,if they are building one at all. Even the guys on Rugerforum know nothing about it. But PvtPyle does work at FBMG,so he would probably know.

Hmm...built like a tank,reliable,and affordable? I think they'd have a hot seller on their hands. But I'm sure Ruger has thought about that too,so there must be a reason why they haven't made a 1911 yet? Probably because it would be a direct competitor to their other products.

Last i heard ruger said no way in hell as they had hard enough time keeping up with what they make now .. maybe times are a changing .. course look where HK's 1911 ended up

I heard they put out a recall on the SR9.

"Ruger has recalled the SR9: We have determined that some Ruger SR9 pistols manufactured between October 2007 and April 2008 can, under certain conditions, fire if dropped with their manual safeties in the “off†or “fire†position. The pistols will not fire if the manual safety is in the “on†or “safe†position."

But nothing about a 1911?

Maybe they're having engineering problems???

I posted the recall else where
