I wouldn't say it's ugly but I've always preferred a blued gun.  It's certainly better looking than any Ruger auto-loader to date but then it's a 1911.  The beauty is in the design.

Another option, nothing more.  I do like that it's made here and from Ruger parts made here as well!

....at least Wilson, Kimber, Les Baer, etc are made here....
...and none of those can be purchased new for $799 or less.

I think its ugly and over priced , I bet it dont shoot worth anything. A good cheap 1911 with a fitted barrel will do better at 300.00 less

I challenge you to make a 1911 using all US made parts for the same as their MSRP.  You can make it look however you think is beautiful. 

You can't do it!  This gun is going to sell for around 650.  650-300=350.  A rock will cost you that much and THEN you have to buy a barrel and have it fitted.  You are now back into the 500-600 price range and still have a phillipine gun.  Nothing wrong with that but why not support an American company using American parts and American labor.

I was excited for the Remington and am excited for the Ruger. More pistols bring down the price.  :)

Wow! Why hasn't anyone thought to do this before?
A self loading pistol in a stout caliber.

Oh that's right, everybody has done it before.

Michael mentioned that 8 round mags were not has reliable as 7 round mags. I'm not going to argue with him but I have 10 round mags from Chip McCormick that were dropped, repeatedly, in the dirt this weekend at Area 6 (USPSA) and I did not have any problems whatsoever. I guess it is all in the eye of the beholder....And I like the idea that the gun is made from materials and is assembled here in America; but I would caution against any mild nationalism about where other guns are made.

As far as the gun itself it looks like it is a solid offering from Ruger. I am wondering about the "special Novak sights" though. Does this mean that we HAVE to buy the sights from Ruger if we want something different than what is offered on the gun? I look forward to seeing an expansion to this product line too. Good on Ruger!

I noticed that it's based on the MkIV Model 70, not the 80.

Changes include a stouter firing pin spring and a different extractor, flat mainspring housing, and solid bushing.

There's hope that this one could be very "tunable".  And at a fairly low price.
