Ruger is a household name when it comes to guns. They have been at it for 75 years and keep getting better. Today, they announce a new series of guns to celebrate their first 75 years: the Ruger SR1911 “Street Edition” Series.

Ruger SR1911 “Street Edition” Series

Ruger plans to produce a series of guns in this line. The first one is the Red Barn model, the first of five. This series of five engraved models of the SR1911 pistol celebrates Ruger’s rich manufacturing tradition. This first pistol will be adorned with the 75th-anniversary logo and “75 Station St.,” the address of the Red Barn where Ruger’s iconic manufacturing tradition began.

The remainder of the “Street Edition” SR1911s will begin shipping at the end of 2024. While common design elements connect the series, each pistol represents its own Ruger facility – “1 Lacey Place” in Southport, CT; “411 Sunapee St.” in Newport, NH; “271 Cardwell Rd.” in Mayodan, NC; and “200 Ruger Rd.” in Prescott, AZ. Each series member will feature a unique grip color, and the facility street name will be engraved on the top of the slide. Production will be limited to 500 of each model.

Classic 1911

These lightweight Commander-Style pistols are chambered in the venerable .45 Auto and feature a 4.25″ stainless steel barrel. Drift adjustable, Novak 3-Dot sights allow for quick and easy target acquisition.
