Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE: RGR) is excited to introduce the SR1911® “Street Edition” series. This series of five engraved models of the SR1911 pistol celebrates Ruger’s rich manufacturing tradition.
The first of the “Street Edition” series will begin shipping in November and commemorates Ruger’s 75th anniversary. This first pistol will be adorned with the 75th anniversary logo and “75 Station St.,” the address of the Red Barn where Ruger’s iconic manufacturing tradition began.
The remainder of the “Street Edition” SR1911s will begin shipping at the end of 2024. While common design elements connect the series, each pistol represents its own Ruger facility – “1 Lacey Place” in Southport, CT; “411 Sunapee St.” in Newport, NH; “271 Cardwell Rd.” in Mayodan, NC; and “200 Ruger Rd.” in Prescott, AZ. Each member of the series will feature a unique grip color, and the facility street name will be engraved on the top of the slide. Production will be limited to 500 of each model.
These lightweight Commander-Style pistols are chambered in the venerable .45 Auto and feature a 4.25″ stainless steel barrel. The stainless steel slide is engraved in fine detail and also includes the Ruger logo and an American bald eagle, a classic symbol of American freedom. Drift adjustable, Novak 3-Dot sights allow for quick and easy target acquisition.
