The Lightweight submodel uses an aluminum frame to bring the pistol to 31.1 oz, offering full-size 1911 balance with reduced carry weight. The 5 in government-length barrel uses a traditional bushing and GI-style recoil system for familiar takedown and feel.
The Series-70-style firing system omits a firing-pin block and uses a titanium firing pin with a strong firing pin spring. Feeding parts include a polished titanium feed ramp, and Ruger adds an integral plunger tube for durability.
Controls and ergonomics include an extended beavertail grip safety with memory pad, a flat checkered mainspring housing, a skeletonized three-hole trigger, a skeletonized loop hammer, and a standard magazine release.
The slide wears a low-glare stainless finish with front and rear cocking serrations and a lowered/flared ejection port. Sighting is via Novak-pattern 3-dot irons: a dovetailed white-dot front and a drift-adjustable two-dot rear.
Fit and finish details include gray/black textured G10 grip panels and clean factory markings: PRESCOTT AZ on the frame, RUGER MADE IN USA and the Ruger phoenix logo on the slide. Capacity is 8+1. Ruger catalogs this specific variant with limited availability.
