Fletcher Arms in Waukesha has a Ruger Day on May 16 from 4-8. I'm looking forward to shooting it.
Is it high quality? I read people complaining that it's all pot metal blah blah blah.
I personally like Ruger so I'm hoping it's a good piece. I need my first 1911!
I am sure it is made of the same high quality metal they use in all their firearms , I owned a P90 & a P95 they were both well made handguns . If I buy one of these I will have it dura coated as I am not a big fan of high visibility stainless guns.
The Para Ordnance GI Expert in stainless can often be had for well under $600, and is all-steel, and it's been out for nearly 3 years...
Just sayin'...

I want the ATI Rage superclocked edition 1911. Maybe run them in crossfire since two is always better than one.A company called ATI imports 1911's....<snip>...
A company called ATI imports 1911's made by Shooters Arms Manufacturing which according to Small Arms review and several friends are of comparable quality to Kimbers, but cost under 600 dollars for the MSRP, and a hell of a lot less if you have a good FFL hook up.
If their 1911's are anything like their .308/Nato 7.62 ammo, I wouldn't touch them. I've wasted more money on ATI ammo for my CETME than I care to admit--the stuff has a "dud rate" of about 10%...

- You think nVidia will come out with a 1911? I bet a watercooled superclocked pair of 1911s in SLI configuration would be uber leet!
- LoL - my bad, just a little leet nerd joking for those that get it.
:dude: Bat
A truly high quality 1911 which will last a lifetime of shooting, say 250 rounds per week for 50 years, this requires a very well made slide and frame with most, if not all the components machined from solid steel. This quality is the sort of thing you can get from a gun manufacturer such as Ed Brown. 2 grand is on the low end.
For most of us who have neither the time or money to shoot this much, and also may lack the 2 grand to dump on a handgun, almost ANY of the entry level 1911's will work well for carry and target practice, particularly after reliability work by a smith. Plus do keep in mind that if a cheaper part ever fails, you can either send it back to the factory, or replace it yourself with a better one. It's not an issue to worry about.
