NBC has once again attacked the integrity of Remington and their products. This time around the news company has accused Remington of knowingly selling their shotguns with a trigger mechanism that is “prone to failure”. I think a vast majority of gun owners have at some point owned a Remington model 870 or model using the “Common Fire Control System”. Remington has responded to the NBC claims with the release of the video above. It seems NBC decided to leave out some key information they found while researching their report. The “news” isn’t quite as sensational when all the facts are told.

Ruger has announced the SR1911 to the public. Ruger has been able to include many of the sought after features of the modern 1911 while retaining a low price point of $799.00. The slide and barrel are made from the same bar stock and machined on the same CNC. According to Ruger this improves the accuracy of the firearm. Also, a surprise is that Ruger decided to include a series 70 style action! Safety is assured with the series 70 system by the inclusion of a titanium firing pin. The titanium firing pin lacks the mass to overcome the spring pressure if the firearm is dropped. The SR1911 is a fine package including a lowered and flared ejection port, oversized magazine release, Novak sights, skeletonized trigger and low mass hammer, extended thumb safety, oversized grip safety, and inspection port for viewing the chamber.

Ruger’s NEW SR1911 carries all the needed features with a price tag similar to imported firearms. We are happy to see another American 1911 and cannot wait to put some rounds through one for a full review.
