The word is that Ruger doesn't make much profit off the SR1911 so they do not plan on ramping up production to meet demand. As for the comment by G.A. Health, popular guns are allocated out. They go first to high volume dealers and then trickle down to other dealers as demand wanes. The dealer has no control in what they get from distributors so the dealer is no making excuses. Colt, Springfield, Ruger, STI - just about any popular 1911 is hard to find and you have to wait to get one. Try finding a tier II Colt anniversary model and you will see what limited supply does to pricing and availability. It's the same thing with a Raven Concealment holster, it took me three months to get mine.

They are hard to get but I think the best 1911 for the money (well, at least when they start selling for regular MSRP). I have fired one and I really like the SR1911. I wish Ruger would start making enough to meet the demand.
