Customer Reviews for Ruger SR1911 7+1 .45 ACP 4.25"

I was very pleased with my purchase from Buds.The process was simple and their website was easily understandable.Will definitely work with Buds again!

Outstanding firearm. Smooth with full house 230 gr ball. Thank you Ruger and Buds. Job well done

Besides being a nice looking 45ACP it is also a good shooter. Weight is not to bad but helps with the recoil. Sights are easy to get used to. Easy to take down and clean. Happy with my purchase.

Beautiful gun. Smooth-firing. Not too heavy, but has enough weight to minimize recoil. Fast shipping.

I couldn't be more pleased with this pistol. The Combat Commander has been my go to pistol for decades. And Ruger has outdone themselves with this fine, affordable 1911 style handgun. Trigger is better than you'd expect. Sights are great for my 75 year old eyes. Accuracy is fine, and of course you can't beat the 45 ACP cartridge for stopping power. Only 8 round capacity? Well, I've always believed in the proverb that says "45ACP because shooting twice is just silly"! I got great service from Bud's. I highly recommend this pistol and Bud's Gun Shop.

A perfect 1911 for the money. The fit and finish rival more expensive pistols. Not overly tight and gives you the confidence that this is one reliable and accurate carry pistol.

As a first-time buyer from Bud's GS, I have been relieved as to how smoothly the process went.
They were with me every step of the way and answered all of my questions in a courteous and timely manner.
I received my SR 1911 CMD .45 in excellent condition, and am very satisfied.
Thanks Bud's!

Fit and finish are top notch, finish is better than the SA I own.
I've seen some people calling this a budget 1911, but the price and quality level puts it solidly in the middle tier, in my opinion. It's a great value if your looking for a commander. Not too cheap, not too expensive, all the features you'd need and nothing you don't. Cycles everything I've tried so far.

I , an avid Ruger fan and have been since my first single six bearcat 22 my dad bought me when I was 15 and now I own a full collection of Ruger rifles, pistols, and air rifles. I have had my eyes on this SR 1911 for 6 years, but hesitated because I felt this was going to be the last gun I would add to the collection. Buds had a great price, I had the wife convinced and I convinced myself this was the last gun,,, until it arrived and I felt the craftsmanship. It was an engineering masterpiece, the balance, weight, fit and finish was excellent. The rack was strong but not heavy. I put a Tipton 45 spring loaded cap in the chamber, lined up the Novak sights and pulled the trigger.the trigger broke at a smooth 4lbs with no creep. I liked this pistol, a lot. So much that I considered going shooting but unfortunately, I will have to wait. My bike is being delivered today and tomorrow is Father’s Day. That’s a family day. Just going to have to wait until next weekend to test fire this Ruger 1911, if it performs, like it looks and feels I may have to buy another SR 1911 commander. Or the target model. Maybe both!!!

Gun arrived in perfect condition for my 72nd birthday. After cleaning and oiling, I shot 120 rounds intermixing several different types of hollow points as well as two brands of FMJ's. I did not have any cast lead loads however. I used four different brands of magazines. Perfect functioning throughout. Accuracy was good though somewhat less than my five inch guns. I did get one surprising three inch group at 50 yards from a rest though. Tin can accurate for sure inside of 20 yards. Recoil a bit more noticeable than my bigger 1911's. The stainless finish has a lubricity that makes clean up easier it seems to me. Very good looking quality .45 pistol. Quick trouble free service from Bud's as always.

This pistol is one of the most awesome pistols I have ever owned and shot. Bud's provided the best deal for this gun. Its accuracy is surpassed by none. You can't go wrong with this Ruger SR1911 CMD .45ACP. Bud's is the best place to purchase guns!

I love my new Ruger Commander I bought from Buds,only shot it 3 times so far,beautiful gun,thanks Buds for making buying my new gun so easy.

Just receive it and go to shooting range to test it and works so great.I love it so much.Beautiful handgun and accurate.Low recoil to be a 45acp with 4.5 barrel.Love it.

Yet another great product and purchase! Great feel, awesome finish! Highly recommend!

Well made gun and Kimber never disappoints. If your looking for a 1911 this is a must have. Like always Buds has unbeatable prices.

I wanted to add a 1911 to my collection and after comprehensive research decided on this model made by Ruger, a classic well reviewed machine. I recieved this firearm in perfect condition, BUD's was the best choice to for this purchase. The price was competitive, shipping and handling was easy with on-line upto date tracking and fast delivery. BUD's has excellent customer service. I've made several purchases with BUD's and have always been a happy customer, also price matching and complete line of accessories. Thanks, AMR.

I purchased this ruger because I liked the looks of it and It qualified for the layaway program which i thought was great. Its a great way to afford those pieces that are a little more expensive. I have put around 20 rounds threw it and it handles very well. I am not disappointed with it so far and hope to have many enjoyable shoots at the range. If your looking for a nice shorter pistol that handles well this could be the one for you.

This piece of artwork has become my go-too gun. I am more accurate with this gun than any of my glocks, S&Ws, Kimber etal. The fit is beautiful and the balance is what make this gun so accurate. I repeatedly dinged an 8" steel target at 50 yds. That is not my normal. This is a beautiful gun and the Kimber has nothing over on it.

Love the Ruger midsize 1911. Beautiful gun, but I’ve never shot it. No flaws and I’ve had it quite a while. Sorry I can’t give info on how it shoots.

Fantastic 1911. It is more accurate than I am. Shot about 250 rounds of various brands/types of 45 acp, no problems. I am very happy with this purchase, and as always Buds service was top shelf.

It’s a very nice looking 1911. Shoots good no jams. Tolerance are not very tight but it works. It’s no kimber but equal to Springfield and Remington .

My only other experience with a 1911 was a Remington R1 and I can tell you this is much nicer. Not one single malfunction with many brands and styles of ammo. This is a keeper.

I heard about Buds from some friends and I have bought two guns from them already this year. The best and easiest purchases I have ever done. I put one on the layaway program and it was easy peasy. The guns were shipped to my local ffl dealer in perfect shape with everything they said would be in the box. Not one single complaint from me. I have referred my friend to them and he will be making a purchase very soon.

Received my SR 1911 CMD from Buds last week. Fit and finish were very good. Range time with over 200 rounds, not one problem. Only negative that I can comment on is that the grip safety is a little soft and rattles. This is an easy fix by adjusting the sear spring took less than 2 minutes. Buds was great as usual. My second purchase from them.

I think this handgun is the best bang for your buck in a 1911 out there! Top notch machining, smooth action smooth trigger and overall finish is great. The transaction with Buds as always was smooth and shipping to my FFL was fast. Thanks again Buds and Ruger!
