Talked to a Ruger rep a while back at Gander Mountain. He said they are definitely gaining on the supply line. Now bigger stores are getting 5 to 10 at a time instead of 1 to 3. From my observations I think the quality of the SR1911 combined with the price point is what is making the demand stay so high. I have heard many a person say, " I paid a lot more for my (insert name) and I like my Ruger just as much if not more".
