I picked this up the last weekend at my LGS. I’ve put a 100 rds through it and can’t wait to put some down range with it. I really like the “MADE IN USA” part. 
I haven’t seen one in person as of yet to fondle…what’s the sticker price on them? I see that Remington is also coming out with a R1 Commander. Must be the new trend this year, tho I love the Commander size for carry.
I have also. Functions well.
Only issue I had with mine, was that out of the box, the thumb safety did not positively engage the sear.
It engaged it enough to prevent hammer fall, but not enough to prevent absolute movement…FAIL.
I had to replace it to ensure safety.
Do these have the mag capture issue that the Government model has?
Not that I’m aware off.
I paid $699 out the door in Alaska. No sales tax up here. Function has been 100 % through the first 100 rds. I did handle a few they had on hand and one of them did have a slightly loose frame to slide fit. Mag lock up seems GTG, on mine at least.
The first report I’ve seen of a Ruger Commander in “the wild” !
Congrats on the score,now,go play the lotto! :laugh:

Very nice. Sure looks tempting; however, I need an ambi safety.
It followed me home !
(That’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it ! 
)
Put 150 rds through it yesterday.Fed perfectly,extraction was quite positive to say the least.
Ammo was limited to some UMC bulk pack (very dirty ).
Next week I will run some Ranger through it.
Accuracy wise,I think it needs to "settle in " as by the time I finished shooting the groups were getting considerably tighter.

That’s a good looking gun and the price is right. If they offered it in blue I’d be very tempted to buy one.
Ive seen them for $699 as well, a great price for what seems to be a well put together 1911. Would love to see a hard use range report.
Sure would be nice to find bulk ammo at a good price point. :rolleyes:
A guy on armslist was selling an unfired LNIB fullsize SR1911 but I just barely missed it. But it’s OK because I found two used W. German Sig P220’s for $500 each.
How much did the Ruger SR1911 sell for?
$775. I’m not sure how long the add was up, less than a day, but since I’ve never seen one in person and everyone seems to be trying to find one I figured it wasn’t too out of line and I could have made my money back if I didn’t like it.
I’ve been wanting one some kinda bad! My LGS has yet to get one in, but I guess that’s what I get for buying one of two S&W Shields they got in:D
Not a bad 1911…
They still have them in stock at my local gun shop. They might ship. I can ask if you are interested.
Can you send me the contact info?
