Well I have been waiting a year to get the Ruger SR1911. I was on several hot lists to be notified when one comes in. I was just about to give up and purchase the Remington R1 Enhanced when two weeks ago I noticed an email had arrived from Bud's Gun Shop. They said one of my hot list items was in stock. I when online to take a look, and to my surprise, the Ruger SR1911 is in stock.
Sooo......after a year of waiting I put money down to put the Ruger SR1911 on layaway at Bud's. I should have it in my possession sometime in September! Yes!!!!!!

I have the SR1911 and love it! Had a safety issue with it and Ruger fixed it in 10 days total. That is from me to them and back to me! So far my Ruger's have been great!

Congrats!

Been waiting on mine from an LGS for about 10 months

I really need to find an FFL around here so I can just buy one online.

$749.99 no tax and free shipping. After a year of waiting, I did not care too much on price, I just wanted one!

What was the safety issue?

 

[k2jlx]

Does anyone else find the grip safety rattles a little if you give the pistol a shake?

 

[minderasr]

Yes somewhat. There is some side to side play in the grip safety if you grab it towards the bottom.

That was the issue. I could pull the trigger without my hand on the grip safety basically. Some people on the 1911 forum told me this is normal and nothing to worry about until I posted a video. I got it back from Ruger and no more rattle. Read here: Grip safety is loose. Issue or not? - 1911Forum

Whoa! How could anyone think this is a non-issue? Glad you got it worked out. Did you ever find out what the cause was?

If anyone is looking for one of these and wants one badly enough, I know someone selling one NIB unfired for $725 cash in Carmel. I could put you in touch.

Well read the above link. They thought it was "just a rattle" until I posted a video. Now 1911's are known for the grip safety to rattle but other Ruger owners are having similar issues as me.

I did read your link, my mistake. I misunderstood what you were saying. Your phrasing/wording suggested the other forum told you being able to pull the trigger without your hand on the grip safety was normal.

As a follow-up. After watching your video I tested my SR1911 again. My grip safety has some side to side movement. But following your motions in the video, there is no movement/rattle whatsoever. Glad I'm not among the "other Ruger owners" you referenced.

Again, did you ever find out what was the cause to the problem?
