Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Ruger SR1911 10mm

I see Ruger is making a 10mm 1911 now, according to their website. I just happened to see it today, has this been out long? Anyone know anything about it? Looks interesting.........maybe.

Cool! I'll have to have one of those!

I saw that too. i have been looking for a 1006 but would not mind a 1911. Sold a Delta elite and a 1006 years ago when I was even dumber than I am now! Wonder how the Ruger would handle full house 10mm? How accurate are the "match" 45's?

I'm not that up on the issues with the Delta Elite but I know an "unsupported" barrel has been bandied about. Would like to know if that applies to the SR1911 as well---or if its even a problem?

1006 is fantastic, but good luck on magazines.

THe SR 1911s, al least the LWT models in 45 ACP and 9x19 have ramped barrels. I turned my LWT Commander 9x19 into a 38 Super and 9x23, both handled well in the ramped bbls. The SR1911 represents great value, with a good trigger and some high end features standard.

Just checked the spec sheet on the Ruger site and it shows a ramped bbl for the 10mm. Should be a good alternative to the Colt DE.

The “unsupported” chamber is a much over-blown issue in 1911’s. The only time it is an issue is when you exceed SAAMI pressure limits for the given cartridge you’re shooting. It’s the reason we have a separate case for rounds like .45 Super, and many of the hot 9mm’s. The 10mm case is sufficient for a 1911 barrel in any SAAMI load, so unless you’re going to really hot rod things beyond SAAMI max, it’s really not a concern.

That makes life much easier if you want to do a multi-caliber 1911. With a ramped barrel gun, you don’t have to worry if your guns started life as a .45 or a 9mm/Super, and which feed ramp your frame has. Just drop in whatever barrel you want, and add the correct slide.

When did Ruger switch to ramped barrels instead of the ti insert in the frame?

Might be worth buying just for the collective value.

A gent on the Ruger Forum, though recently sold out but taking orders, is selling them cheap IMO. Tempting though I was out today enjoying my recently acquired M610.

I'm really liking the thought of a 10mm Ruger, at $729 from the seller on the Ruger Forum there a heck of a deal.

Interesting...

A good review-http://www.realguns.com/articles/935.htm

According to the web site it also has a cone barrel, no barrel bushing. I don't really dig on that, but it can work just fine. And it has a nitride finish; that's cool.

I'm very impressed with Ruger's 1911's. As a gunsmith I tend to see a good number of 1911's and I just don't see many Ruger's come across my bench...because they all work...at least that's my impression. Ruger has a LONG history making 1911 frames from doing casting work for Caspian. The cast frames Ruger/Pinetree are so good, Caspian all but discontinued their forged frames, because the demand just wasn't there.

All the other internals, whether investment cast, billet, or MIM, all the parts are nicely made, nicely finished, and the final assembly of the pistols is very good.

I'm absolutely delighted to see they're making a 10mm...always excited to see more life being breathed into this wonderful round.

I think I will wait a while to see how it works, I have had the Ruger LW Commander length gun, its an OK gun, had no problems with it, but traded it for something else. At 44 ounces it weights as much as my 44 magnum, so I can carry one to starboard and the other to port to keep myself from listing as I walk.

Try again.

I believe the Ti insert is only used on the aluminum alloy frame.

JOG, this is why I asked.....



Mebbe I'm all wet, but I was under the impression the aluminum frames WERE the lightweights.....

The part about the .45 ACP LW having a ramped barrel is incorrect, unless Ruger incorporated that feature in the 44 oz. LW model.
