After reading all the hate people have towards 1911 chambered in 9mm I've decided to get one
Honestly I'm sure the extra weight makes shooting one a breeze.
Cant blame you Alf, if people hate it so much, theres just more for the rest of us 😁😁
9mm is 1/2 the cost of 45acp and you get greater mag. capacity with less muzzle flip.
@@pedrobrando4606 Thanks for answering the questions I had regarding 9mm Luger vs .45 ACP. I love the 1911 and the Commander length balances perfectly in my hand.
Mines been very reliable and a joy to shoot. Very accurate. Makes for a good carry gun.
every Ruger firearm i buy has been 100% flawless. They make a fantastic product for a very reasonable price. This Ruger is next on my wishlist!
I bought one of these and I like it. Mine had an improperly staked ejector that caused failure to return to battery. Ruger sent me a return label, fixed it, fired 55 rounds to make sure it was right and sent it back in a reasonable time. Excellent customer service. I am at about 500 rounds so far with it.
Grey Beard what's the price on this firearm?
My lgs had a $695 tag on it, but they are usually a bit high on their prices. Plus, it was a new release. I didn't realize it was so new, and traded two handguns for this and some boxes of 9mm. Check slickguns or gunbroker for current street price. By the way, this is not a bull barrel, it has a bushing.
Congrats on 1m subscribers!
I really appreciate you doing a review on Rugers 1911 in 9mm. I am a practitioner of 9mm over all and this pistol i was unaware of. Thanks you!
I love this 1911 from Ruger! It's 1 of my favorite Commanders , I'm a 1911 guy & there is nothing wrong with the other calibers they come in! My Ruger 1911 10 mm shoots just as well as the 9mm. Have fun on the range Brothers & Sisters in Arms!
second outing at the range tonight. No issues! This baby did everything I asked it to! Has become my favorite
shooter and weapon. Ruger, you done it right!!! Magazines all worked great, and no hickups. Love it!
Now make a 1911 in 2mm Kolibri, with a polymer frame and 200 rd beta mag.
Mel Laknanurak it will take alot of shots to take someone out with that but since you have 200 in a mag and probably a spare mag it could work
Joshua Godsey Full auto would solve that problem.
It only takes 4 shots to the head to kill trust me I play battlefield 1
-Pvt. Parts- 😂
-Pvt. Parts- LOL FUCKING LOL
My SR1911 Night Watchman is the same way with the failure to feed. A couple of things I've noticed to help keep it running reliably: 1) Keep it clean. If powder fouling and what not builds upon the feed ramp, it won't want to feed. 2) don't let the feed lips on the magazine get damaged. At all. And they are easily damaged if an empty mag is dropped on the ground.
My wife would love that too
I've had it for a year and I love it!
Love how he beat the gun into the table on the failure to feed lol.
Stellar Steel Nothing, the ground, his boot, a piece of whatever vehicle they're in, a wooden section of one of the targets. Idk, one of the dozens of other things. Dude's point was it's a nice handgun and he thought it was funny. But, hey, it's UA-cam so why not be a smart ass right?
ha that's the only way to treat a 1911 like the junk they are
@@nekiafontanez2456 I detect a Glock ass boy.
@@nekiafontanez2456They’ve had a pretty favorable following for well over 100 years…
Thanks for the video. When it come to 1911's there are very few companies who do it right. It looks like Ruger did their home work.
Looks like a good option for CCW. Thanks for the shooting review!
I have this 1911 in .45 acp. It's great! It's my carry pistol in a shoulder holster, and dead accurate. I've NEVER had a single failure at the range, and haven't had to use it defensively...lol! For those who think 1911's "Suck", stop watching Yeager and try one. There are some negative comments below about single stack, but single stacks are noticeably thinner to carry, and you're chances of EVER needing more rounds are as close to zero as possible. Since I carry all of my pistols in a Miami Classic shoulder holster, I keep two extra mags.
My wife carries, and she's spot on accurate with a 1911, both in .9mm and .45. She can put 90% of her shots in an 8" circle at 10 yards with any 1911, but doesn't do nearly as well with other pistol designs, and we have a LOT of other pistols. Thanks Eric!
Great video. I really like being able to see the group, verses just shooting soda bottles. Please make more videos like this.
First shoot tonight; Had problems with the magazines not loading. Range master said to take a couple rounds out, as the
mag springs are quite tight. That seemed to help. Also, gun failed to lock open on the last shot....more than once.
Confusing. As for the shoot, itself.... I was quite pleased on how well the 1911 shot. Great feel... and VERY accurate. Much better than some of my other 9mm pistols. The trigger is awesome. I will feel better when the other issues straighten out.
update from my 7 months ago; Really enjoy shooting this pistol. No problems at all. Shoots everything I put thru it.
Thanks as usual for the intel, guys.
we got my dad a commander in .45 for christmas, the next day he got into a concealed carry class and now uses it as his edc
1 Million Subscribers! Way to go, love this channel 💯
Love mine been in my holster for last 6 months and it isn't going to leave anytime soon
To me 1911's are like late 60's early 70's muscle cars. They're just a classic cool you can't copy.
Big fan of the Ruger, I have several. Thanks for sharing, great review.
that is a nice looking firearm, thanks for the quick review.
Picked up a used one. Runs great so far. I like the traditional barrel bushing break down. I've only had one Ruger give me trouble and Ruger replaced it free of charge. And it was used when I purchased it.
That's great news to hear! I'm thinking about buying this exact gun, slightly used, and was concerned about that.
@@TheMidnightModder you might have to spend $45 to ship it back to Ruger if you have issues, but they will make it right.
My friend has a Ruger commander 1911 in .45 and it is a joy to shoot. As a polymer owner I am jealous!
Great video and great gun. Keep up the great work.
I owned one if these and absolutely loved it. Did have a few faults at first. I changed out to heavier recoil spring and a shorter trigger and it was 100% reliable after that. Sadly had to sell it for funds.
I have had my 9mm sr1911 for about a year and its awesome i use to practice being a better shot learn new techniques by far best little carry and practice gun ive had in a long time
I love how you just hit the end of the slide to get that jam out😂
I have a rock island 9mm 1911 with fully adjustable sights comes with vz grips and a magwell for half the price of a kimber I have 3 kimbers and that rock island 9mm is my favorite 1911 sweet shooter half the price people dog the rock islands but its never let me down highly recommend it
great video,nice shooting.
Stay Vigilant!
I want to see some gun gripes!! REPEAL NFA GOT 100,000 Plus!
Like, how to grab the gun by the pussy. That's a good one.
What?
Still need work to get the huges Amendment repealed...
nono not how to grab the gun by the pussy, they're rapists, they're murderers, and some guns, I assume, are good people. Wait, I mean-
I run the .40 syntech in my Glock 23 and it loves that stuff shoots accurately and is way cleaner than regular ammo
dude I want that gun, thanks for sharing friend.
Thanks for the video. I didn't even know that Ruger made a 1911 in 9mm
LOVE to shoot my Lightweight Commander! WAY too much fun!!! Great video. Thanks!!
hey, just watching an old gun gripe and you (Eric) said...."we want you to open your notification bar and always have IV8888 content there, we want something new that's different from anything else.". I want that back, the Spirit of Berry will rise again
That's a nice working and looking 1911. I like 1911's in 9mm especially as i use mine mostly at an indoor range. I'm going to check into this SR1911, and see what's up.
My full size model has been great . This one looks sweet and there is some nice groups there too .
I wish ruger would bring back a new line of p series hammered fired pistol's... Please!!! She's a beauty
I fired a 380 1911 at the range a few weeks back. I don't remember the brand but it was really easy to shoot. Been thinking about looking in to it.
Been a couple of years since I dropped in on this channel and I have to say that the production quality of the videos has improved significantly over that time. They are quite enjoyable to watch now
It's just a shame that I don't live in a country that respects the rights of the people to own firearms
Lennie Godber Move. If your country doesn't respect your rights, and you have the means, go to one that does
I like two tone look on these commanders. The Springfield Ronin commander is very nice too.
Very Nice looks like a keeper
Love Ruger.
I like it. Good looking and very accurate. On my list.
Just picked one up, can't wait to run some rounds through it.
I have this same exact gun.
Love it but hate the magazines that come with it. A few failure to feed issues. I bought some Wilson Combat mags and never had an issue since. Very fun gun to shoot
I"ve been thinking of this one....thanks for the video. Probably the closest I could find in a 9mm 1911 would be, say, the Colt Defender or a couple from Springfield. (at this price point)
Nice review and nice groupings man! I need a lot more practice 😫
now I have the Officer version. Terrific shooter. Great for conceal carry!
Looks like a good alternative to the Springfeild EMP version. Maybe it costs a little less...
Hopefully it's reliable.
What a beauty.
Nice gun. Springfield also makes a few nice 9mm 1911s
Dang that's a nice piece
I'm speaking purely about the .45 SR1911's... The magazines are the only weak link, as soon as I saw the misfeed I thought "magazine". The stock ruger mags for my two .45's will not hold seven rounds without the seventh round popping out. Wilson Combat 47D's solved the reliability issues with mine.
I had the same issue with my 45 sr1911. Ruger mags sux in my experience too.
Those groups are tight.
thanks for changing your camera angle. I can see all your targets while you are shooting. thank you .
Thanks for the video! Looks like a sweet little pistol. This could be exactly the kind of 1911 I'm looking for. I'd love to see your take on it after shooting it for some time. Btw, I don't think you mentioned the MSRP.
What a nice pistol!
"My wife saw this gun and instantly loved it." Lucky.
my first gun I ever shot. love it but cant have it where I am.
I'm no expert but seemed like a good shooter
The smaller version now out!!
beautiful !!!!
Some states like NY and Ca have mag cap restrictions, and can only use a single stack mag to stay legal. You could use a .357 snubby revolver like I do, and I don't live in NY or Ca. Hi cap mags have their place and if you can own them you should!
i have a really nice Armscor 2011 in 9mm that i picked up right before they dried up
Good video Eric.
I noticed that the semi-shiny finish on the diamond shaped design on each of the grips wore off quickly making the grips look crappy. So I replaced them with an unbranded version of the same thing made by Kimber. They seem to be more durable and also more "grippy". I had numerous malfunctions with 115 and 124 grain hollow points. So I went to Hornady 135 grain +P hollow points with the Flex Lock bullets and it ran like a champ. It also shot 147 grain FMJ flat points reliably as well. Apparently, this firearm prefers a heavier bullet. 🤔
im diggin it
It would be nice if they made a model with a officers frame and a commander slide length..thanks for the video.
I could be wrong, but I think Dan Wesson makes some CCO models.
True but sounds like you need a sig C3 for nearly the same price.
They started making officer models not too long ago, it doesn't seem far fetched that it could come in the next year or two.
Works a lot better than my Ruger LW CMD in 45 did.
Looks snappy.
cool shirt. must be your favorite IV88... lol... love your videos sir.
I would like to see Colt re-release the 1903 - 1908 Pocket Hammerless, but in 9mm and 45 ACP.
Another 9mm, how exciting we don't have enough already.
I have a para ordinance single stack 9mm 1911. I got it used with 5 mags for $900 Canadian which works out to around $675. It's only had 10-15 jams and I've shot at least a thousand rounds through it. I blame the jams on myself for not cleaning it enough because once I cleaned it it worked great again. Just another suggestion for someone looking for a single stack 1911 in 9mm.
need to make more of the close up shooting and showing off the gun. Nice to see the shooting but wanna see more of the gun itself
The failure to feed problem, I’ve gotten around by using the Wilson Combat 1911 magazines. The feeding lip is not flat, and won’t deform.
Those stock mags suck. I did the same and bought Wilson combat mags.
Typically my day at the range seams to be like this video
Awesome! I was so looking forward to hearing about and seeing the features of this lightweight Ruger 1911. Instead we got to see a great video of you putting 120-150 rounds through the pistol. That was some interesting stuff. You should’ve titled this video “Watch me shoot about 3 boxes worth of ammo.”
makes me miss my combat Commander series 70. I will now drown in my years of regret............
Love to shoot mine. Put Pearce finger grips on, as well as Ruger Silverblack grips. Feels great! Looks great! Shoots great!!
fun video!
don't forget armscor and para both make single and double stack 1911's for around 600-650 new
He loads the pistol correctly. Racking the slide instead of slide stop/release. Does the same with GLOCK while he buddies use the slide stop (glock)/slide release (other models). Good job Eric.
Illini Armory Correctly by what standard?
www.officer.com/article/10249666/the-great-slide-release-debate
read the link i provided
I never questioned "Why Not" until recently. Surely using this lever would not harm the gun. It's part of the gun's design and it's made to operate in that way so why not use it? Here are some reasons. You Get The Full Force Of The Recoil Spring To Return The Gun To Battery
When you use the slide stop to release the slide you may not be using the full force of the recoil spring to chamber the next round and to return the slide to battery. See for yourself. Pull the slide back on your pistol and lock it back. Then manually pull it back all the way and compare the difference in distances. On both my Glock 19 and Glock 26 I get about 1/8" more recoil spring compression. I have read that some guns won't reliably load a round when the slide stop is released but will do it every time when racking the slide.It's Easier To Grab It And Pull. Fine Motor Skills Go Out The Window In A Self Defense Situation
Many pistol/self defense course instructors will advise you not to use the slide stop to release the slide. They tell you this because in a self defense situation your fine motor skills and your ability to manipulate small objects is diminished. If you train load a magazine ever time by releasing the slide with a racking motion you will build up your muscle memory and it will become automatic and second nature to you in any situation.You Don't Have To Look For It
When you use the slide stop lever you have to look down and take your eyes off the target or threat. If you just pull on the slide your eyes can remain on the threat or the target."Sling-Shotting" Is More Universal To All Pistols
Not all pistols have slide stop and slide release levers. Using the sling shot method of releasing a slide will make you better prepared for handling a larger variety of hand guns.
It is difficult to overestimate the importance of repetition in training. Ever since the Newhall, CA shootout in 1969, when officers were found with empty revolver cartridge casings in their pockets and live shotgun rounds were ejected onto the ground, trainers have been emphasizing that what you do in training is probably what you will do under real threat conditions. However, in an effort to make your actions under stress as repeatable and useful as possible, we occasionally try to make them as simple as possible--the "KISS" principle. In the process, some things we teach become so inflexible that they lose touch with the fact that life isn't simple, and you're not stupid. People mean well when they try to make your training as uncomplicated as possible, but a dogmatic approach to the use of firearms to save your life can leave you short on options when you may need them the most. Lately, for example, I've been hearing a lot of discussion about the "proper" way to manipulate the slide on a semi-automatic pistol. This is just one specific operation, but it sure seems to generate a lot of, shall we say, enthusiastic debate. Since this illustrates my point so nicely, let's see where it leads us. There are basically two schools of thought on the matter. One is that the proper way to manipulate the slide to load or reload the gun is to grasp the slide with your support hand, pull it to the rear and release it. The other is to push down on the slide release lever, assuming of course that the slide is locked to the rear in the first place. Where I get tangled up in these arguments is when someone insists that their way is the ONLY proper way. There are excellent reasons for each technique, but when I see only one method being taught, I get concerned for your welfare. The truth is, you better know how to do both. Let's look at the options and see how they are applied. Pull back the slide First up, pulling on the slide. There are a couple of ways to do this. One is to grasp the slide with the support hand, palm down over the top of the slide. This is a fairly natural movement of the arm and allows for the slide to be securely grasped by the fingers on one side and the palm of the hand on the other. Just tug the slide to the rear and you're done. This works whether the slide is locked back or not, is very positive and is a "gross motor skill" movement. The down side? Well, if you are using a gun with a stiff recoil spring (and maybe even having to push against a hammer mainspring) that must be overcome, the tendency is to turn the gun so the forearms are aligned and the arms can push reciprocally against each other. The muzzle of the gun then ends up pointing at your own elbow, or someone next to you. If you forgot to keep your finger off the trigger, the possibility of serious injury is considerable. You must always be aware of the orientation of the gun when you are using this method. You must also be aware of the placement of your hand on the top of the slide. Never put your hand near the muzzle OR the ejection port of the pistol. The muzzle part should be obvious, so let's talk about the ejection port. If you are in the habit of using this method and you need to clear a jam, your hand can block the port and keep an offending cartridge from falling out of the gun. Worse yet, you can cause a loose cartridge to fall back onto the feed ramp and be pushed into the chamber backwards. If this happens, it can only be cleared by sticking something down the barrel from the muzzle end. This is not easily done during a gunfight. And, even worse yet, if you are trying to clear a live round out of the chamber and the primer hits the ejector, your hand will take the hit when the grenade-like detonation of the cartridge occurs. Take a look at your gun and see how little room there really is on the top of the slide for your hand to encircle it without getting too close to the muzzle or the ejection port. If this is the only technique you know, it will not translate well from simply loading the firearm to clearing jams. Slingshot The second option for the slide tugging methods is the "slingshot." This is where the slide is grasped from the rear with the thumb on one side and the fingers (led by the index finger) are on the other side. You pull back on the slide and release it as if you were shooting a slingshot, and you're in business. This solves the problem of getting your support hand too close to the muzzle or the ejection port and, to me at least, seems like a much more sensible approach. It also keeps things open when trying to clear jams AND you aren't going to accidentally point the gun at yourself or anyone next to you. However, if you happen to have weak hands or wrists, you may have trouble gripping the slide hard enough to pull it to the rear. If your hands are slippery, you may not be able to maintain a solid hold. And if you are trying to clear the chamber, the cartridges may not fall free. However, this method is greatly enhanced if you simply rotate the gun on its bore axis, so that the ejection port is facing down and to the side. For a right hander, this would mean rotating the top of the slide from the 12 o'clock to the 8 o'clock position, or 12 to 4 for a leftie. Now the arms align in a strong position behind the gun, anything in the feed ramp area can fall free and you have more strength in pulling the slide to the rear. In fact, you can put your entire body behind the movement, much like throwing a punch with your gun hand while pulling to the rear with your support hand. This has helped many shooters with hand or arm strength problems, and gives them a safe alternative to the hand-over-top method. The slide release method The alternative to the slide tugging techniques is to simply push down on the slide release. This only works, of course, when loading or reloading from slide lock. The minus column on this one includes such things as the design of the slide release itself and its location. SIG Sauer slide releases are near the rear of the slide, while most others are more centrally located, above the trigger guard. Glock doesn't even call theirs a slide release, because they only advocate pulling the slide to the rear. They call the part that locks the slide back a "slide stop lever." It works just like a slide release. Both Glock and the SIG pistols have fairly low-profile slide stop/release levers, and the Glocks are an especially good candidate for an extended slide stop replacement. I have changed them on all of mine. On the plus side? Well, for one, if you ARE starting from slide lock, it is absolutely the fastest way to get a round chambered and get back on target. Either of the slide tugging methods require your support hand to move through a reciprocating arc of almost three feet before it is back on the gun as the support hand. Check out how the best competitive shooters do this. But, some say, "that's a fine motor skill that will not hold up during body alarm reaction." Well, okay, hold your hands as if you are grasping a gun, with your thumbs pointing up. Now close them down into your fists. The closing motion of our opposable thumbs is, in fact, one of our most instinctive motor skills. The thumbs just push down on the lever on the way past. But the single most compelling reason for being able to release the slide in this fashion? It works one-handed. If you only train with the slide tugging methods, what you are going to do when your support hand isn't available? You have two choices. Use the slide release, or find something to push against with the rear sight or ejection port of the slide. (You need to know how to do that too, as well as reloading one-handed, but I'm running out of room here.) Life is rarely simple and, as Clint Smith often says, a gunfight will be what it is. We need to be prepared to be successful in whatever circumstances are presented. Certainly people have a preferred method of doing any task. But to teach or practice one method to the exclusion of all others is to limit your options at a time when options may make the difference. As I said at the beginning, it isn't simple, and you're not stupid. Make sure you spend some of your training time on each of your options. Then, they'll be there when the computer between your ears starts searching for a program to handle the mess you are facing. You never want the answer to be: "File not found."
id like to hear a price on every gun you guys shoot, as well as where to buy. ive just got my permit and trying to put together a nice little collection and i love the looks of this
I may have to pick one of these up nice shooting Eric. I'm sold. write it up.
I like how the 9mm mags hold 9 rounds.
A more in-depth review of the MRO patrol please.
Hey if possible could you follow up on the 5 things you need in your car, on the things in first aid pack and 3 day pack
great videos always, but i want to see gun channels choot more .40s&w. believe it or not some of us guys still shoot .40
Good American company, great customer service and total fun for those that love to shoot a 1911.🇺🇸🔫👍
Pick up a Zastava M88. Very similar design to a Tokarev/1911 love child. Typically under $400
oh now i get notified of this video. Great job youtube
for being a 9mm 1911 the gun looks pretty snappy
it is also 10 ounces lighter then a standard 1911
great video well put together...was there a preference on amo after this?
Could you do a video on Browning High Powers and the clones that work?
An answer to a question I wasn't asking. If I wanted to go small bore, 38 Super would be more interesting in a 1911.
I love the fact its a fraction the cost of a 9mm Para-Ordnance, and its a Ruger ;)
