Like the M1911, the Ruger 1911 is single-action only. It also has features such as a beavertail grip safety and a manually operated thumb safety. In addition to these two safeties, the Ruger SR1911 also has a sear disconnect, slide stop, and half-cock position. Although Colt's 80 series developed a trigger-operated firing pin safety, which is operated by the grip safety, the Ruger SR1911 pistol features a titanium firing pin and a heavy firing pin spring, which negates the need for a firing pin block, offering an updated safety feature without compromising trigger pull weight.
Design-wise, it is nearly identical to the M1911A. After the gun is fired, the recoil energy sends the slide rearward slightly. At this point, a dropping link under the barrel pivots the barrel's rear down, out of locking lug recesses in the slide, and the barrel is stopped by making contact with the lower barrel lugs against the frame's vertical impact surface. As the slide continues rearward, a claw extractor pulls the spent casing from the firing chamber and an ejector strikes the rear of the case, pivoting it out and away from the pistol. The slide stops and is then propelled forward by a spring to strip a fresh cartridge from the magazine and feed it into the firing chamber. At the forward end of its travel, the slide locks into the barrel and is ready to fire again.
The UMAREX Ruger SR1911 GBB Airsoft pistol series by SRC is a high-quality gas blowback replica of the aforementioned pistol. Fully licensed by Ruger, this is one of the very few Airsoft guns that carries the Ruger licensing trademark. A full metal construction from tip-to-butt, the pistol features highly detailed Ruger markings, giving this piece a very refined aesthetic. This SR1911 replica is part of the Competition series, as such is outfitted with a high-viz green fiber optic front sight and blacked out adjustable BOMAR rear sight, making for a very intuitive sight picture. The trigger is fully adjustable, allowing users to tune the trigger slack. Apart from the same usual 1911 safety and controls, the grip is outfitted with an enlarged magwell for fast indexing and reloading. The SR1911 is also dual powered out of the box, allowing for use with both green gas and CO2 at the switch of a magazine. The gun comes with a 19 / 15-round magazine and is available in both Green Gas (15) and CO2 (19).
Overall, if you are in the market for a solid full metal 1911 GBB Airsoft pistol, the Umarex (SRC) SR1911 is a great choice as the trigger pull is crisp and the recoil impulse is snappy, making for a greatly enjoyable side-arm to shoot with
