I think not.
I had more to say on the issue, but that kinda says it all.

Any reason Ruger should make a blued 1911

Like everything else Ruger makes, need variations for the collector!! 8)
I'm hoping in the future they'll have Commander size and offer one with a bobtail option. Stainless, of course.

Succinct, yet to the point.

I also want a stainless commander size one. If they made a blued SR1911 I seriously doubt I would buy one......unless it was a deep shiney royal blue,then I might be tempted.

I agree with rev on that one, if its not the colt royal blue or the old school blue on smiths, hell no.

Youth must be served, give the young guys their stainless toys. As for myself, I like a blued handgun with either figured walnut, or ivory grips. :wink:

I don't see why not.
There are many folks who prefer a "blue steel" gun to a "silver" gun. If Ruger offered a blue version it would potentially increase their market share.
What's the problem?

It's Colt's Matte Blue, with only the sides of the slide polished. It was a Talo limited edition back in 2008.

If Ruger could fill the demand for the single 1911 they're making now it would increase their market share. :roll:
One would think a blued 1911 done well would be more labor intensive than the current matte stainless version. Last thing they need right now...
I would bet that many of those now buying (or seeking) a stainless SR1911 would much rather have a blue one were they available, thus relieving some of the pressure from the production of silver guns.
It's moot, of course, because I'd also bet that Ruger's marketing wizards have determined that if they're only going to produce one type initially, the silver ones are the "hot setup" right now. Makes sense if they've done the proper homework.
There was no time frame established in the original post, so I'll just say that there is still no reason for Ruger to NOT produce a blue gun. If blue guns were not popular, many of the current manufacturers thereof would not be nearly so busy as they seem to be. It's all a matter of timing and overall production capability.
