The picture of the casting screams Caspian to me.
Would Ruger farm out casting? Or does Caspian have Pine Tree do their casting to start with?

Not bad.... At $799 MSRP priced to compete with the Springfield RO too..

Other way around Ruger owns Pine tree and has been casting 1911 frames for several companies. Like S&W was forging 1911 frames for other companies before they made their own 1911s.
I think Ruger has Springfield squarely in their sights.
All American made 1911 very cool.
Hey Boge, tell Jeff he covered up the best part of that holster:-)

I think Pine Tree casts for Caspian.

Steel mainspring housing, no guide rod, no internal safety.... Lots of plusses here. Building a proven technology should rule out some of the typical new production hickups too....

Collect your pennies... I think you will be absolutely thrilled at the street price of these.  |

Afraid to know what "street price" is.
My gun shop is pretty much MSRP.
Last time I bought a "brand new gun" was my 454 SRH, the one I ordered was the first one in the shop,still cringe when I think what i paid for it.

My dealer would charge the average joe walking in off the street $642 OTD for one. Just looked them up on his distributors site.

I didn’t believe it was a Ruger till I saw the Ruger Legal Dept. warning label in the Quinn report.

The "Read instructoin manual before using Firearm"?
That's pretty dadgum short for Ruger!!!

I'd like to see a 38 Super and a commander slide OM grip frame 45 but I'll be content to bask in the light of a straight up 1911 45 for now.... |
