(NYSE: RGR) is excited to announce the addition of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ruger.com\/products\/sr1911\/specSheets\/6722.html\" target=\"_blank\">Ruger\u00ae SR1911\u00ae Lightweight Commander-Style pistol<\/a> chambered in 9mm Luger. Like the SR1911 Lightweight Commander-Style pistol in .45 Auto, this 9mm version features a commander-length slide and an aluminum frame that weigh almost a half-pound less than the all-stainless steel Commander-Style configuration. This model also comes with a new look, including black rubberized grip panels and a gray anodized frame.<\/p>\n<p>The lightweight aluminum frame, shorter barrel and commander-length slide combine with the 9mm chambering to create a winning combination for concealed carry. The 9mm SR1911 is thin, small and light enough to be comfortably carried every day, yet still employs the outstanding ergonomics and shootability of the classic 1911. The effective 9mm Luger cartridge also provides higher magazine capacity and less recoil than the larger .45 Auto.<\/p>\n<p>Ruger\u2019s American-made, CNC machined SR1911 comes fully equipped with upgraded features like Ruger\u2019s classic series 70-type lockwork, genuine Novak\u00ae LoMount Carry three-dot sights, a lowered and flared ejection port, titanium firing pin and a precision machined barrel with matched bushing. These pistols also come standard with an integral plunger tube, beaver-tail grip safety, extended magazine release, oversize thumb safety, skeletonized hammer and skeletonized aluminum trigger for fast, accurate shooting; all this without the price tag of a full custom gun.<\/p>\n<p>The new Ruger SR1911 Lightweight Commander-Style 9mm Luger model features a 4.25\u201d barrel, improved cocking serrations on the slide, a ramped barrel for reliable feeding and weighs 29.3 ounces with an empty magazine. This pistol ships with two 9-round magazines, a bushing wrench and a cable locking device.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the Ruger SR1911 Lightweight Commander in 9mm Luger, or to learn more about the extensive line of award-winning Ruger firearms, visit Ruger.com or Facebook.com\/Ruger.
