I thought Ruger had run out of colors to put on their .45acp Light Weight Commanders, but I was wrong! Attached is a couple of pictures of a new "BLUE" (anodized) Light Weight Commander. I say new because I have never seen one in blue before this one. But the serial number is 672-07364, which dates back to 2015 and 16. This one was also shipped in the old style "large" box with a pistole rug. Ruger discontinued shipping the SR1911 with pistole rugs a few years back. So is it "New" or "Old" stock?
At the same time I found this one there was another SR1911 Commander, model 6733, with a "GREEN" frame, They were out of stock or I would be showing it to you also. If you have one or know somebody with one I would really like to know the serial number. Also, if they want to sell it.

Great, you needed another one and the green to chase. I like this one, good looking LW 1911.

Re: A "BLUE" SR19!!
Great looking SR Vince, it's amazing the amount of different firearms that Ruger are putting out. I'm not a flashy type of guy but the right blue goes good, I bought one of the Kimber Sapphire Solos a few years ago, sorry about the pics orientation.

Vince that looks like a good BBQ piece. I can see you eating a plate of ribs with that tucked in your belt.
Some people sit on $.05 of knowledge like it is the treasure of Egypt. I will teach anyone $.10 worth just to prove a point...
Re: A "BLUE" SR19!!
I seem to recall seeing one of those,, somewhere,,,,!! ???
Good luck on the hunt for the green one.
I do have a red one that was for the NRA-ILA.

Contender,
Other than the RED NRA gun they also made a RED framed light weight commander.

Re: A "BLUE" SR19!!
It amazes me the amount of different variations of the 1911 that Ruger has produced in the short 9 year run. It goes to show that Ruger is the largest firearms manufacturer in the U.S. and no signs of slowing up. Vince I hope you put together a display of them, would really like to see it and am sure it would draw a large crowd.

Re: A "BLUE" SR19!!
Bennett,
I am considering a display for 2022, maybe sooner. Right now I have 18 different Commanders and I know I am missing 1 or 2. I also have 18 Full size 1911's I would also like to display, and there again I am missing 1 or 2. So that's 36 variations that I have and that's not all Ruger produced, I know of 3 other variations I don't have. If I display I will probably break it up into two different displays
SO THE HUNT GOES ON!

Vince, that sounds great, let me know which ones you're missing and I'll keep my eyes out for them.
