Ruger unveils a new SR1911 pistol that uses an aluminum frame, called the Lightweight Commander. This .45 caliber pistol is lighter than the existing Commander-sized gun from Ruger, and uses an anodized aluminum frame instead of a stainless one. Using aluminum results in a reduction of more than 7 ounces in weight: 29.3 oz from the original 36.4 oz. The new SR1911 is a Series 70 design, and features a polished titanium feed ramp, stainless steel barrel, extended mag release button, extended thumb safety, hardwood stocks, and three-dot sights with a Novak LoMount Carry rear. Ruger is also introducing a new addition to the LCP line with the LCP Custom, featuring larger sights and a more colorful, aluminum skeletonized trigger. The new front sight is photo luminescent, which absorbs light, making it preferable for low-light situations. These small .380 ACP pistols are flat and light, though the upgraded sites do add 0.2 inches to the gun’s overall height.
