The Ruger SR1911 Target is a full-size 9mm single-action pistol built on the Government-pattern 1911 frame with a stainless steel slide and frame.

Detailed Features 

Low-glare stainless steel construction resists corrosion and reduces unwanted light reflection at the range. The adjustable target rear sight allows windage and elevation correction, which is useful for competitive shooters dialing in specific loads. 
 
Deluxe checkered G10 grips give positive traction across hand sizes and in varied conditions. The ambidextrous manual safety accommodates left- and right-handed operation. 9+1 capacity in 9mm gives more rounds than .45 ACP configurations on the same Government frame.

The Ruger SR1911 Target in 9mm gets consistently good marks for build quality. The stainless steel construction and finish quality are noted as solid by most owners.

Accuracy is the most praised performance attribute. The adjustable rear sight is the primary reason buyers choose this model over standard SR1911 configurations, and owners who target shoot report being able to dial in tight groups. The trigger pull is described as smooth with a clean break, which contributes to the precision shooting experience.

Ergonomics are rated positively — the G10 grips provide secure traction, and the weight distribution is balanced for a full-size pistol. Some owners note a break-in period improves performance, and specific ammunition preferences for optimal feeding are mentioned occasionally.

Price comes up in comparisons with other stainless 1911s. Most owners consider it fair given the features, particularly the adjustable sights and G10 grips. The 1911 platform's wide aftermarket is a positive for buyers interested in customization.
