First Remington and now...gasp....Ruger

The price will be right. Who will be the first to take the plunge?

[Cap]

$600 to $700 price isn't the same as the $350 to $450 price point niche RIA enjoys .
They'll have to get closer to $500 to take a significant market share from RIA IMO

that pistol is aimed squarely at Remington, Para's GI Expert and Sprindfield's Mil-Spec and RO

Using the "all AmUrican" parts and manufacture as their unique selling position is a great marking move too.



IMO, Remington and Para have the most to lose on this one

Don’t forget the STI Trojan.

Agreed! The models you listed are their direct competitors.
Agreed!

hey Oak, where did you read the thing about 1911 gunsmiths?

just saw this write up on the Ruger over on the other forum: http://www.gunblast.com/Ruger-SR1911.htm

some nice pics and descriptions. That is definitely the same reciever sold by Caspian. They have a good pic of it stripped down.

I cant wait for of us to get one and tell us what they think. :-)
