Ruger has debuted their Diamond Anniversary Limited Edition SR1911 pistol in celebration of 75 years of manufacturing.
Ruger states “Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE: RGR) will be celebrating its 75th year as an American firearms manufacturer throughout 2024.
To commemorate this event, the Company will be releasing special editions of several of its iconic products.
First introduced in 2011 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Government Model 1911, the stainless Ruger® SR1911® has earned numerous awards as one of the best completely American-made 1911-type pistols.
The diamond anniversary edition of this iconic pistol will be produced in limited numbers and features an attractive, finely detailed, laser-engraved slide that commemorates Ruger’s 75th Anniversary and salutes our pride in American craftsmanship.
The custom grip panels feature detailed scrollwork to match the engraved slide.
Each pistol ships in a specially marked 75th Anniversary lockable case with one 7-round and one 8-round stainless steel magazine.
The SR1911 includes many desirable features such as a titanium firing pin, extended thumb safety, extended magazine release, oversized beavertail grip safety and a visual inspection port to allow visual confirmation of a round in the chamber.
The plunger tube for both the slide stop and thumb safety is integral to the frame and will never shoot loose.
The SR1911 uses a skeletonized hammer and an aluminum, skeletonized trigger with an adjustable over-travel stop.
Only 750 of the Anniversary SR1911’s will be produced during 2024 and will be identifiable by a special “R75″ serial number prefix.”
