I use the thin metal base on the Wilosn mag in the gun and the two spares I have the thicker rubber bumper on for a positive reload.
The metal is a little heavier, but much thinner. Aids in getting the first mag out and slightly less obtrusive.

Last fall/early winter, my LGS finally got one in. They had not had one since they came out the spring before, and they stuck it back for me as my brother-in-law had me looking for one after all the great reviews and build quality praise. I bought it and was paid back by my sis-in-law for his Christmas, but I got to babysit it at the house until Christmas. It was hard not to break it in for him, lol. That things was a wonderful feeling gun. They have not had one since.
Illusive, but sweet:
BTW, that gun shop tells me they have less problems out of the Rock River Arms 1911's than any other 1911-style pistol they sell, including Kimbers and S&W.

That's probably because they (RRA) haven't made any in a while  , or perhaps, the shop meant Rock Island Armory.

Oops. More like I meant Rock Island Armory. Rocks, Islands, Rivers. LOL.

Last summer I happened to be in a LGS when three SR1911's came in.
I had just asked if they ever got one of the SR1911's and he said they just came in! I quickly bought one and it was perfect. I think some of the earlier ones before they tried to meet the high demand were made and fitted more carefully.
Mine is flawless and is also tight, accurate and reliable. No failures straight out of the box or since. Excellent trigger too.

Then thats a good thing. They see enough interest in the product to INVEST in additional production capability to meet specific market demands.
Ruger is a for profit company, and if they see orders to the point that they must cut them off, and decide to invest to "help ease market supply" (read that - MAKE MORE MONEY), its a good thing. Ruger would not make the investment unless they saw a forecast of a return on that investment.
Could be Ruger is also considering.... (ahem).... well the choice is clear. The market demand is not for full size 1911's.

I don't know... For a company who is saying that they cannot produce enough product to keep up with demand, the constant introduction of new models which slows production of their current backlog, makes no sense to me, as a consumer. To the bean counter I'm sure it makes lots of sense. However, I couldn't care less about the bean counters. So, I still stand behind my origional statements.

I do know first hand that reading post that are usually over my head are much more enjoyable when I'm fondling my SR1911. I hope Ruger and everyone in between made some money on it.
I know at least one step in the chain took a little beating but I'll figure out a solution for that some day.
Business is to make money not friends, good business's do both and I think Ruger is doing very well in both arena's.
