Ruger SR1911

Buy it now

It's a 1911. JMB will bless you, Glock homers will curse you but you won't care.

 I think it beats Kimber for what you get relative to price.

I bought one on my birthday mainly because everyone I talked to said that same thing. One guy said he thought it was better than Colt (not sure on that but I trust that guy). I still haven't even shot it though with the flooding :(..... My range was underwater. I bought mine on Bud's for 690 although I think a better price may be had on grabagun.com

Have three. Great gun

Because of the OB....Do it Do it.

To use budget and Kimber in the same sentence is laughable. And to say it beats a Kimber in any way is more so laughable. I'm sure it is a great pistol but not on the same level.

Kimber makes several 1911s under $1k which is what I consider budget for that platform. Also, Kimber is not the company it used to be. There are many many reports of QC issues. Much like Remington post Freedom Group, the new Kimbers just are not worth the money. The fact that they make a gun that is over $1k that uses a plastic mainspring housing is ridiculous. There is no excuse why their more expensive 1911s use MIM parts as well. So no, my claim is not laughable. The SR1911 is a much better buy for the money.

Bought a Kimber.
Never fed the last round reliably, after new mags and polished feed ramps. Nevermind that there is no reason you should have to work on a weapon out of the box in order for it to run reliably.

Sold it.

Well said by a man who apparently can't afford a Kimber.
