Sturm, Ruger & Co. has announced the addition of an SR1911 Target Model. The full-sized, stainless steel pistol features a BoMar-style, fully adjustable rear sight and an extended, ambidextrous manual safety. This new SR1911 in satin-finished stainless steel also features blackened controls with G-10 textured grips. 

The pistol features a 5” stainless steel barrel and weighs 39 oz. with an empty magazine. It ships with one 8-round and one 7-round stainless steel magazine, a bushing wrench and a cable locking device.

Ruger SR1911 pistols are also equipped with an integral plunger tube, beavertail grip safety, oversized magazine release, skeletonized hammer and skeletonized aluminum trigger.
