hello folks this is Yamil Sued for Gun Stock Reviews we're here gunsite Academy in
Paulden Arizona and I'm here with Brandon from Ruger how you doing buddy
great thank you. good, good.. and today you know I know that Ruger has
been in the 1911 business for a few years now they make a fantastic 45 ACP. yep!
1911 all stainless I own one I love it I shoot it quite a bit but what's new in
the 1911 world well we've actually been growing our 1911 product line for a
while so we've got the government model we've got the commander's yeah we got
some officer models different calibers but what's really new is this is our new
Custom Shop gun so this is our first foray into a full custom pistol okay and
this is something that really came out of our professional shooting team so we
started with the Ruger 9-millimeter target model 1911 which had the
adjustable sights it was an all stainless steel gun that sort of thing
and we asked our our team our professional shooters for some input you
know what do you guys want to shoot so this is actually the gun that they're
shooting in competition now that we developed for them and we are using this
as our inaugural custom shot product launch ok great now what makes it custom
what parts are you using and more process are using to make it cost them
and enhancing the pistol yep so it's it's not a custom shop in the sense of
you know call us up and we'll make you anything you want we don't do that yet
but what is custom about it there's really two things one is the fact that
these guns are hand fitted hand-built okay so they're not just coming off of a
CNC machine these are being worked on by a couple of gunsmiths we're using some
oversized parts so that they can hand fit the barrels the barrel lugs and are
also hand fitting the slides these are you know just about as smooth as they
can be okay so that's now of course it is a stainless steel gun black nitride
finish the other thing that makes it custom is the components that we're
using okay so we're not using the factory components on this gun we are
using quite a few of them but there's a lot of
upgraded stuff lotta aftermarket parts that we included in this so you've got a
tech well magazine while here with the Hogue piranha grip it's got great texture
on there of course we customized it with the Ruger logo on the front strap you'll
see you've got this checkering the undercut trigger we've got a special
trigger it's just really nice to shoot but it's a flat face trigger with a
chevron design we have a forged slide stop you can see the finish on the side
of the gun here got a high polish with a lot of details here in the the lasering
and engraving also on the top you've got a lot of detail there along
with the fiber-optic front sight fully adjustable Bomar style rear sight inside
you can see this has got Doug's name on it here but this is a signature Koenig
pistol inside it has Doug's hammer and sear set in there so that gives you that
really nice consistent you know trigger pull the bushing you know hand fit it's
actually a special barrel it's a 1/16 twist barrel a full length guide rod
that's on there if we close this up here you can see the the Koenig hammer that's
on there alright and a Custom Shop logo of course and on the other side you do
have the extended magazine release as well as a forged slide stop cylinder and
slide disconnect er hand-tuned Springs everything about this gun is just
there's a lot more work a lot of attention to detail some really fine
finishing on it and it just makes for a really nice package well yeah all the
products that you mentioned there are all custom products like the par set and
then if you go ahead and put it together by one gunsmith just and fitting those
parts it elevates the quality and the reliability and accuracy of the pistol
absolutely well I'm really looking forward to shooting this one and we'll
go ahead and keep keep up with you and see what new products are you bringing
up from Ruger yeah this is the first I mean so you've got a custom shop 1911
we've got a 1022 and we're gonna follow that up with a
whole bunch of new products so if you keep watching there's gonna be some
exciting things coming out of the custom shop
