I was shooting today, one round I had a front sight and the next round I didn't. The sight broke right off! The same thing happened to a buddy at works SR1911... Now, do I have Ruger fix it or do I buy better sights? Suggestions?

There have been numerous people here that this has happened too.
I have both models of Ruger 1911's, and it has not happened to me yet. There must be some kind of defect in the part or installation of certain guns.
Send it back to Ruger with their pre-paid label, and they will make it right. 1 member here got a whole new slide.

Wow, another one. ![[angry]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/008.gif "Angry [angry]")
You need to overnight it to Ruger
Nope, your new 4" just rusted within a few weeks![[rolleyes]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/042.gif "Roll Eyes [rolleyes]")
I'm really starting to get annoyed with Ruger. I keep checking my SR9c for pitting or front sight problems .

Even if they need the whole gun, you can mail it. They will provide you with a label.
The only reason you will need an FFL, is if they send you a whole new gun. (I doubt that's gonna happen though.)
Call Ruger tomorrow, they will provide you with a 2 day air label, drop it off at UPS depot, and you are good to go. It has to be a UPS depot. A UPS store won't work. That's what Ruger requested of me anyway.
Wtf? Why?
They said it was a user serviceable item... I know, it will most likely keep me from getting another Ruger!
i suspect it has more to do with the long hold time and excessive volume of calls they are receiving, or so the message told me repeatedly while on hold. I had to hang up and try 3 times because I couldn't hold that long. It appears their service department is overwhelmed for some reason...

That doesn't sound right.
Plenty of members here have sent in their guns recently, including myself with zero issues at all.
1 got a brand new slide, I got a whole new firearm, someone else got theirs replaced.
Call again. You must have talked to an ass hat. Call tomorrow and tell them ntomsw says for them to get their heads out of their asses.

No. It should be taken care of, regardless. Call them again, and tell them it needs to be taken care of by them. NOW.
Mine flew off about 30 mins ago at the range ![[thinking]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/010.gif "Thinking [thinking]")
****ing Ruger. Unreal. Seriously, I love the SR1911 but not after all of this nonsense. I'll look elsewhere for a 1911Mine flew off about 30 mins ago at the range
