Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Ruger SR1911 10mm

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?

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.

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.

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

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



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

gunblast has never reviewed a gun that did not shoot good, especially a ruger, I will wait for the reports from the field.

I'm not sure where the 44 ounce weight being quoted for the SR1911 LWT Commander is coming from. Can you provide a source?

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.

Don't believe it. This myth is perpetrated by Delta Elite owners who can't come to grips with the fact that they have a .40 S&W that comes in long cases. Don't buy a 10mm that does not have an integral feed ramp and supported chamber. This is gospel in the 10mm community. The new Ruger SR1911 has an integral feed ramp and a fully supported chamber.

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 haven't been on the site in a couple of months and I new I shouldn't log on here. I log in, see this and 10 minutes later buy a new gun on gunbroker!

My Ruger LWT Commander (aluminum frame, ramped barrel) now in 38 Super, weighs in at 33.4 ounces, with 10 rounds (9+1) and one mag in place.


I imagine the same pistol in 45 ACP would be about 2 ounces heavier, based on my Colt LWT CCO (CCO is 7+1, same round count as a Commander length frame with a std mag)

I stopped in at a local "toy store" last evening. Loaded a cart up with hydraulic and motor oil for the tractors, and then stepped over to the gun counter and fondled the SR1911. I gotta admit, I know didley about 1911s. But the gun felt solid and nice in my hand with a decent trigger. $799.99.

But zero 10mm available from their suplliers.

Around here you can buy 10mm at Walmart.
