My SR1911 had a blue dot with an ink spot in the middle in front of the slide lock lever...I have seen other photos of pink and yellow dots. What are these dots for and what do they mean (if anything?)

Welcome to the forum from Nor-Cal! Congrats on your SR1911!
Funny i was also wondering the same but didn't have the courage to ask.

That is your DHS gun registry/NSA GPS locator. Activated by removal. I saw this on the internet somewhere, so it must be true. :D

:pBe careful of the NSA watching. Those dots are like the warning labels on mattresses. If they are removed, big brother will know, and you'll spend the rest of your life doing hard labor in prison:D:D
Dot sticker threads should be in the Punchlines. :)
I enjoy the humorous replies.

Colt used to stamp their inspector's logo on the frame of their WWII pistols, Ruger uses a removable dot. Which begs the question - Since a WWII Colt with an uncommon inspector's stamp is potentially worth more, will a Ruger with an uncommon dot color be worth more in the future?
Remember, during the war nobody cared whose stamp was on what pistol, it wasn't until these pistols became collectible that the stamp meant anything.

Sorry guys but you know how dependable forum search features are! I just wasn't sure why there were different colors most being yellow where as mine was blue. Thought maybe the colors had something to do with barrel/bushing matching or test fire accuracy?? Who knows...that's why I asked.

Blue means stand in the blue line when the gov asks us to return our guns... Orange means stand in the orange line...

Uh oh-- I took all the stickers off my guns...

And oh yes, I forgot, all my guns were lost in a tragic boating accident ;) (saw that last bit in someone's signature line and loved it!)
