My SR1911 was purchased from a local gun store. It was the only one in stock, so I took it without thoroughly checking it out. When I got it out on the range, I discovered it was a veritable rattle trap. Loose tolerances galore, horrible trigger. It was so bad I couldn’t believe it left Ruger factory in that condition. Contacted Ruger customer service and they arranged to have pistol returned and inspected. They shipped me a brand new gun within a matter of a few days. The replacement has been flawless. Incredible handgun for the price. Wonderful trigger and very accurate.

Good to hear the series was great

[@robwilson3749]

A few years ago now I strolled into my pawn shop and they had a used Ruger CMD .45 that by all appearances, was barely used. Then I saw they had it priced at right over $500 and I almost fainted. I was ready, ready, ready to buy right then and there, no time to waste. Then? Then I handled it....good God what a terrible example. Seriously. I was shocked. Now, this wasn't the first Ruger 1911 I'd handled. Most were "fine" or "passing" at least but this one was terrible. So, it does happen from time to time. I couldn't believe my luck walking in and spotting it for that price and then my luck that it was more loose fit than size 52"x32" pants on a 34"x29" man. I've since gotten one of these newish alloy frame full size 5" 1911's from Ruger a few weeks ago. Honest to goodness I asked to handle it from the guy behind the counter fully expecting to hand it back doing my usual "meh" over the fitment but this one? Above average. I took this one..

[@kevinmanning8214]

Glad you had a better experience with Ruger customer service. Before firing mine, I noticed severe damage where the slide was rubbing on the lower. Sent it in, week and a half later got it back with the same issue. Sent it back and pushed for a replacement. 6weeks after purchase, I still don’t have it back. Strongly considering replacing it with a Springfield Prodigy.

[@a10sim]

I’ve had my Ruger full size since 2013, it has served me well. With a few upgrades, Dawson FO front sight,EGW magwell and VZ Operator grips, this pistol has run thousands of rounds shooting IDPA.

@SGT1911 I love Ruger's products and their customer service is top notch. I've heard of people purchasing a used first year GP100 from 1985 from a pawn shop and something was wrong with it so they sent it in and Ruger fixed the problem for free. Also, a guy proved a point here on the YT and brought a stock out-of-the-box $300 American Rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor to a range and was hitting 1000 yard steel just to prove a point that you don't need $3000 rifle to do it. Now that Ruger purchased Marlin, I think that's even better! I love Marlin lever actions.

I've had this commander model since 2013 and probably carry it the most in winter months with 2 mags for 21-24 rounds.

I own both a Nighthawk GRP and inherited a SR1911 from my grandfather. The Ruger has been running fine. Differences in fit and finish are very apparent, the Ruger is sloppier in almost every way and rattles on the grip safety and trigger but that’s secondary stuff. The Ruger seems to work well and is (in my experience) reliable.

[@TheBandit59]

I had a Colt Officers jam badly when I got tangled up in an armed robbery off duty. Since then, I have been leery of any 1911 that isn’t at least as good as a Dan Wesson, and I put 500 rounds through it. My carry rotation has been a Wilson Combat ULC, but I put a threaded barrel and suppressor height sights on it. Now , its a 3.8” Night Hawk Carry Plus and a Shadow Hawk Commander, both in .45 ACP. I got a really bad feeling in the pit of my stomach when I walked into the Eckerd drugs; and the manager said “ Officer Green, these guys are robbing me!”Thank God they didn’t get much practice in prison before they got out, they missed, I got one good shot off, hit the guy shooting at me, and the Officer sized 1911 jammed badly.

It's a great pistol for sure. I have one but don't carry it often because it's pretty heavy. I prefer 185 JHP's at high velocity for a defensive load personally. You missed a couple of interesting things about these pistols. The slide and barrel and bushing all come from the same block of steel. The firing pin is titanium to decrease lock time. I'd love to have the full size version but I refuse to pay the prices stores are asking for them now. No way this is an $800 plus gun. I paid $629 for mine in 2018 before all of the pandemic nonsense.

Just traded a 1911U for the SR 1911 4.25 SS 45. Took a little beating on the trade but well worth the loss. Cleaned it up, out to the range shot $24 (50rds) no malfunction and very accurate. Ruger throw it in the mud, pick it up, fire it up. Btw I only shoot ball. Got hooked on ball. Every caliber was a ball. 5.56 ball, 7.62 ball, 45 acp ball. It was a ball. Kinda weird this ball thing.

Hello Sargent. Those double-taps look pretty impressive. Any training tips to help develop that skill or is it just repetition? Also, do think lighter pistols (Glocks, XDs. M&Ps etc.) are as good as the 1911 for double taps in terms of speed and accuracy, all things being equal? It seems to me the trigger and the extra weight help with recoil management in 45 ACP. Thank you.

[@SGT1911]

Hey Bro. PRACTICE is key. I do like many if the polymer pistols. The XD's, M&P, WALTHER. ALL of them will work fine with practice. The weight as you say will help you stay closer to target.

Stag makes everything look nice. Ruger make good dependable guns, always

[@kevinmanning8214]

I understand this is a 45ACP, but how do you compare the Ruger commander with something like a Springfield Prodigy (recoil, feel)??

[@SGT1911]

A 9mm will recoil less than a 45 in all models

[@kevinmanning8214]

@@SGT1911 What I meant was, How would you compare the recoil of a Prodigy compare what that of a Ruger 1911 9mm comander?

[@SGT1911]

@KEVIN MANNING about the same. No significant difference in recoil of the 9mm

[@buffalobillh]

Sarge, It’s been a year or so since you did this video. How does the Ruger commander stack up after all this time?

[@SGT1911]

runs great to this day

[@stephen562]

Sarge, how would you compare to the Sig 1911 Nightmare commander size?

[@SGT1911]

I prefer the nightmare. Good trigger and rounded pitiless grip. Nightmare is my pick. Thanks for watching

[@stevenjordan4168]

Just curious for reference how many yards away are your targets in the video?

[@SGT1911]

At least 35 on all my handgun videos. Rifles will be 100 to 200

John Browning was a GENIUS.

hooah

[@TietLung]

I wouldn't say big hands are the issue. I wear a XXXL size glove and have never had an issue with gripping the 1911, even when they have no memory bump. It's mostly people who don't know how to hold a handgun in general.

[@SGT1911]

True. I guess one could have huge hands and still have fine dexterity

[@tiggandsoot]

Are you saying Memory bump ?

[@SGT1911]

Yep

[@shadecarpenter9699]

I love mine I have 2 of them.

Nice

All I can say is "sold". Sometime you make things easy.

I have always thought that the Ruger was one of the nicest looking 1911's out there.

[@SGT1911]

I agree. they did a good job

Nope. It is a commander size. Thanks for watching
