How long before Ruger SR1911 avail. in MD?

UncleJim · May 20, 2011

Anyone know about when the new Ruger 1911 will make it to the handgun roster? Is the process usually weeks, months, longer?

Fester60 · May 20, 2011

I was wondering the same thing as I was thinking of getting one eventually. I like the fact that it is stainless as my current 1911 is parkerized. I would imagine it shouldn't take long because it's just another 1911, but we are dealing with the MSP. :sad20:

I am drooling about this gun as well. I can't wait to finally get one and have my first 1911. I have a Ruger P90 .45 already but I think I will enjoy the slimmer 1911 style pistol more.

First, someone has to submit it to the handgun board. Then, they have regularly scheduled meetings. If submitted, they will review it then. After the meeting, the board will post whether the gun was approved and then there is a period of time when someone can file an objection as to why the gun shouldn't be approved. If no objections, then after that time, the gun becomes legal for sale something like 14 or 30 days later.

I do not know when the board's next meeting is and if the gun has been submitted. I would hope one of the Ruger dealers got a gun and sent the forms and gun in.

The current approved list is available here: http://www.mdsp.org/services/handgun.asp

Ruger isn't even available in the pull-down...is there a different moniker for Ruger??

Maybe Sturm Ruger?

Yep, it's Sturm Ruger

Definitely Sturm Ruger. I'm guessing it won't be approved until the late summer.

And we pay taxes to fund such an idiotic process?

mikec · May 20, 2011

I just sent an email to the lady in charge of the handgun board. I will report back if anyone has submitted the gun and when the next meeting is.

I'm going to offload my P95 and upgrade to the 1911

Yes, we pay taxes to fund it. After all, it is to protect us from bad handguns.

Horse dung!!

I was thinking about that too but I would probably only get 200 dollars for my P90 and it has been a stellar gun since I got it back in the late 90's. It's worth more to me as a shooter than to sell it so I will just have to settle for 2 .45's in my closet

It would be hard to believe that someone hasn't made the submission to the board. Hopefully, a dealer will see this post and give us some more info.

I'm also a NRA life member.

UncleJim · May 20, 2011

As I recall, the Ruger LCP took almost 4 months before it made it to the roster.

Don't know if the Ruger 1911 is even available to get yet much less be able to submit one to the roster board. Ruger, along with some other manufacturers like to "unveil" their "new toys" before placing them into production to keep the public's dollars in the pockets untill the production is in full swing. I could be wrong with that statement but if one takes into account the 100th anniversary and Ruger is not up to speed on this, it may be awhile before this gun will be available. A little FYI; this is a new platform for Ruger and we all know what happens about 50% of the time when Ruger comes out with something new........... Do you wanna' buy before or after the recall?

PapiBarcelona · May 20, 2011

There are a few SR1911's on Gun Broker. Quick Youtube search shows a few popular "reviewers" have videos of them; I guess they may or may not actually own them.

UncleJim · May 20, 2011

Yep, they're starting to show up out there in Internet land.

mudskipper · May 20, 2011

It'll be available in MD right as the recall notices for it start going out.

Afterall, it is a Ruger.

(Whatever, I own like 14 Rugers already. I can talk as much sh!t about them as I want to!)
