The Ruger SR1911 – Model 6768 redefines the iconic 1911 platform with a modern twist—pairing a 5-inch stainless steel barrel and slide with a blue PVD-coated aluminum frame and checkered wood grips. Chambered in .45 ACP, this full-size pistol delivers 8+1 rounds of proven stopping power in a package that blends tradition, reliability, and style.
The Series 70-style action offers a clean trigger pull with minimal creep and a crisp break, while the skeletonized hammer and trigger enhance both performance and aesthetics. A beavertail grip safety, extended thumb safety, and visual inspection port reinforce Ruger’s focus on functional carry and safe handling.
With its lightweight anodized frame, low-glare stainless slide, and distinctive blue PVD finish, the SR1911 6768 delivers showroom looks and range-ready precision in one of the most recognizable handgun platforms in American firearms history.
