About This Firearm
The Ruger SR1911 Target is a stainless single-action 10mm 1911 built for range work and hunting. It has an MSRP of $1,329 and weighs 40.4 oz. Its rear sight is an adjustable target unit, so a chosen load can be zeroed and left there.
Two stainless magazines come with it. The barrel is a stainless bull profile with no bushing around the muzzle, running on a full-length guide rod, and the firing pin is titanium, which Ruger fits to shorten lock time. The trigger is a skeletonized aluminum part and the hammer is skeletonized as well, the thumb safety is extended, and the magazine release is extended too. There is no optic cut and no accessory rail. According to Ruger, most standard aftermarket 1911 parts and accessories fit it.
If you're cross-shopping, the Rock Island Armory TAC Ultra has an MSRP of $839 at 39.8 oz, with an adjustable rear sight of its own, a fiber optic front and an accessory rail. The Colt Delta Elite has an MSRP of $1,349 and weighs 35.0 oz, 5.4 oz less, but its Novak carry rear sight is fixed.

Strengths & Limitations
- The grip panels are replaceable, the backstrap is checkered and the mainspring housing is flat, which is the standard government grip shape.
- The ejection port is oversized, so brass clears the slide without denting its case mouth on the way out.
- Rear slide serrations and an extended slide stop give the support hand something to pull on for a press check.
- There is no optic cut and no accessory rail, so a dot means slide work and a light means a grip-mounted unit.
- The target rear sight has moving parts and stands proud of the slide, so it is more exposed to a knock in the field than a fixed carry sight.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a bushingless bull barrel?
A barrel thick enough at the muzzle to bear directly on the slide, so there is no separate bushing to fit or wear out. It changes takedown, because the recoil spring plug and guide rod come out as an assembly.
What does the titanium firing pin do?
Titanium weighs less than steel, so the pin accelerates faster when the hammer falls. Ruger fits it to shorten lock time, the delay between the hammer dropping and the primer firing.
Will aftermarket 1911 parts fit?
Ruger says most standard aftermarket 1911 parts and accessories are compatible. The barrel and recoil assembly are the exception, since the bull barrel and its guide rod are not government-profile parts.
What rifling is in the barrel?
Six grooves at a right-hand 1:16 twist, the rate Ruger cuts for 10mm.
