Ruger 1911? Shelley says 'No thanks'

Shelley Rae over at Gun Nuts has a nice read up about her initial experience with the Ruger 1911... She was not thrilled, but does reiterate that there is one other 1911 out there that will send a thrill up your leg.

I had the opportunity to work with Ruger’s new SR1911 during a writer’s event at Gunsite in December 2010. Ruger hosted the event for the 1911 and Scout Rifle at the world famous facility—what better place to introduce two guns that helped define what Gunsite is all about? While there, Gunsite instructors Chris Weare and LaMont Kintsel put the group through a short training course, including a number of the school’s more famous drills. Over a two-and-a-half day period, I put more than 600 rounds through my loaner gun without cleaning it and never suffered a single malfunction.
