The Ruger SR1911 Commander Southport CT Edition pistol in .45 ACP with a 4.25-inch barrel (brand part no. 16705) features a finely engraved stainless steel slide with the Ruger logo and bald eagle on the sides, and the Ruger logo along with One Lacey Place adorning the top of the slide. Ruger builds this lightweight Commander-style 1911 with an aluminum frame and a polished titanium feed ramp, and precision CNC-controlled machining delivers a superior slide-to-frame fit. The skeletonized aluminum trigger provides a crisp, no-creep pull with a quick positive reset, and a skeletonized hammer with a titanium firing pin speeds lock time. Black/gray deluxe checkered G10 grip panels, an oversized beavertail grip safety, and drift-adjustable Novak 3-dot sights round out a pistol limited to 500 total units, shipping with two 7-round magazines and a bushing wrench. Among limited-edition semi-auto handguns, this Southport Edition configuration favors collectors and shooters who want a distinctive engraved 1911.
