    No, but based on my great affection for my .45 cal version of the same pistol, this one is on my "list". Mine has just been perfect.

    I have the full sized 5" Ruger 1911 and I love it. My next handgun purchase is/was going to be a full sized metal framed 9mm, as I only have polymer 3" +4" 9's. This now throws a wrench into my plans...........my short list was a SA Inc. Range officer Operator in 9mm, or a Beretta 92FS

    Guns are popping up for sale on GunBroker.com and are hovering around the $750-$775 range.

    For not too much more--or maybe even a little less depending on model--I can get a Colt LW Commander. Still, I like the look of the new Ruger and have been very pleased with my previous SR1911 experiences.

    I will continue to monitor prices and as soon as I can find a pistol for less than $700 I'll buy it.

    Yes, I have seen picture of it disassembled and it sure looks ramped to me.

    I saw my first specimen today at Cabela's. The trigger had a small glitch about halfway through but broke fairly cleanly. The grip safety felt a little sloppy and slide to frame fit was a little loose as can be common on production grade 1911's.

    The 2-tone finish is more a gray on gray and looks pretty nice.

    I would have bought it except for the Cabela's price. It was about $150 above where it should be.

    I'm hoping this will lead to a CCO-sized Ruger 1911.

    No reason it shouldn't. Ruger appears to be solidly behind the 1911 family.

    Hopefully they'll skip the Officer and go right to the CCO.
