The Ruger SR1911 "Street Edition" Series 2025 represents a curated collection of five distinct SR1911 pistols, each designed to commemorate the manufacturing legacy of Sturm, Ruger & Co., Inc. This series builds upon the initial "Street Edition" release in October 2024, which marked Ruger's 75th anniversary, extending the tribute to encompass the company's various production facilities across the United States.
A key distinguishing feature of each pistol within the "Street Edition" series is its unique engraving, which incorporates the street address of a specific Ruger manufacturing plant. These addresses, "1 Lacey Place" (Southport, CT), "411 Sunapee St." (Newport, NH), "271 Cardwell Rd." (Mayodan, NC), and "200 Ruger Rd." (Prescott, AZ), are prominently displayed, serving as a direct link to the geographical origins of Ruger's manufacturing prowess. This individualized engraving aims to provide a tangible connection to the company's operational history.
The "Street Edition" SR1911 pistols are constructed as lightweight, Commander-style firearms chambered in .45 Auto. Each pistol features a 4.25-inch stainless steel barrel and a stainless steel slide, which is meticulously engraved with detailed imagery. The slide also incorporates the Ruger logo alongside an American bald eagle motif, which is intended to symbolize American ideals of freedom. The combination of these design elements results in a visually distinct firearm.

Another notable characteristic of the series is the individualized grip color assigned to each model. The Southport, CT, variant features black/gray G10 grip panels, while the Newport, NH, model is equipped with blue/black G10 grips. The Prescott, AZ, variant highlights brown/black G10 grips, and the Mayodan, NC, model features green/black G10 grips. These color variations are intended to provide visual differentiation between the models, while the G10 material itself offers a textured surface for enhanced grip.
Functionally, the "Street Edition" SR1911 pistols are designed with features aimed at enhancing performance. Each pistol is fitted with drift adjustable Novak 3-Dot sights, intended to facilitate target acquisition. Additional features include a polished titanium feed ramp, a skeletonized trigger and hammer, a titanium firing pin, a flat mainspring housing, and an oversized beavertail grip safety and ejection port. These components are intended to contribute to the pistol's reliability and ease of use.
The "Street Edition" series is produced in limited quantities, with each model restricted to a production run of 500 units. This limited production is intended to enhance the exclusivity and potential collectability of these firearms. Each pistol is supplied with two 7-round stainless steel magazines and a bushing wrench. The manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) for each model is $1,899, placing them within the premium segment of the firearm market.
Ruger has established a reputation for manufacturing durable and dependable firearms. The "Street Edition" SR1911 pistols are designed to uphold this standard, reflecting the company's commitment to quality craftsmanship. These pistols are intended to serve as both functional firearms and commemorative pieces that highlight Ruger's manufacturing heritage.
Information regarding the SR1911 pistols and other Ruger products can be accessed through the company's official website and social media platforms. The Ruger SR1911 "Street Edition" Series 2025 is designed to be a commemorative series highlighting the company's history. The series is intended to appeal to collectors and shooting enthusiasts.
