Just got this in an email from DRTV:
"It is finally here and it is now official. Rumors has been roaming around for years that Ruger is making a 1911. These rumors started way even before Ruger considered making one. Back in November 2009, the first discussions started among the engineers and through extensive work and planning including 1000s of interviews through the “Voice of the Customer Program” the specification was put on paper and the project set in motion. Ruger is now shipping the SR1911 from their factory in Prescott, Arizona."
