Ruger SR1911 upgrades?

Do these rugers have a series 80 style firin pin block, or a schwartz style? If series 80 style that would explain possible gritty trigger. I just handled a new colt defender at cabelas and its trigger was not nearly as smooth or crisp as 3 different kimber ultra carrys i also handled.

As for "upgrades", change what you want to change, whether to just make it look more appealing to you, or to make it fit you and your needs better.


I have swapped a few parts on my springfield, what i really want to swap next is the stress or load bearing parts for stronger, higher quality ones (slide lock, hammer, ejector). So far i have been happy with Ed brown parts, and the colt thumb safety i fitted i am happy with. Also the Harrison designs trigger turned out very well and love it
 
Only thing I've done with my SR1911 is to have the Ruger FO fronf sight installed. For me, the white dot that was on the factory front sight tended to disappear in bright sunlight.

Thr FO front sight greatly improved the sight picture, and my groupings have narrowed.
 
Guy's have you realized you have been responding to a thread started August 9, 2014. One would think that he has completed his upgrades by now:rolleyes:

I have a SR1911 that I'm upgrading... and I think Ruger sold more than two. Can still discuss it, as plenty of people are likely in a similar boat.
 
Someone stated the ruger 1911s being series 70, which blows my mind, with ruger being as lawyer amd safety savvy as possible.

It is...

Supposedly, they asked shooters what they wanted in a 1911. Guess they said a Series 70 gun, since that is what they put out.
 
My understanding about how Ruger dealt with the safety issues about a model 70 style trigger is that they used a lighter titanium firing pin with a stronger spring. That way, the risk of AD by dropping it from normal heights is negated. I'm curious if Colt is doing something similar to their new Series 70's the are producing.
 
Ill be darned, yup, no firing pin block detent there.

Ive handled a few, and while a little loose and rattley for my taste they seem like nice guns. I also dont do stainless guns, do they have a black or blued or coated or parkerized model out yet?

My Springfield has served me well, although i recently found out about a corner cutting measure springfield makes, that disgusts me, and i would like to get addressed. The Ruger is putting dirty thoughts in my head.
