A must-have for all 1911 aficionados! I cannot wait to hit the competition circuit with it."

This pistol ships in a waterproof hard case. One 8-round magazine and also a 7-round competition mag are included in the box. A Ruger Custom Shop Certificate of Authenticity, challenge coin, cleaning cloth, gun peg and decal complete the package. Learn more at Ruger.com.
