Forced myself to walk out of a small local gunshop today after looking over a new Ruger SR1911. He's asking $695 which looks good after a quick internet search. This is the first time I've actually gotten to see one in person. I currently own a Springfield XD in .45 but have long considered adding a 1911 because....well, it's a 1911! American icon and all that. Anyway, I can swing the price but it will clean out about 6 months of my stash. So, how's the price and should I jump on this hard to find Ruger?
