Ruger SR45 is here gentlemen
for all of you guys that have been waiting for the SR9/40 to release in 45 ACP...
Here you go. ammo capacity is much lower than I expected for a service sized pistol but this bad boy looks like it has everything that SR series shooters have been waiting for in a 45 ACP.

Pretty comparable to the M&P .45 in form and mag capacity. Still, 4 ounces heavier than a Glock 21 with two fewer rounds.

That's 3 fewer rounds than the Glock 21.

Whoops, sorry...3 fewer. I have a Glock 20, which holds 2 more than the G21, must have mixed me up.
I also noticed that Ruger isn't listing the a DA/SA .45, anymore...was that the P345? (Sorry, if I got the model incorrect.) Has it been discontinued? |

was there anything in there designed to add continuity to the conversation or do you just live to put down new gun designs?
I bash on a lot of guns but I never do it based on what they are made out of. I have never seen a glockaholic enter a 1911 and bash the 1911 for the sole reason that it's metal so why would you enter a SR45 thread with nothing to contribute but hate towards plastic? I can think of things much more worthy of hatred.

FYI, my comment was meant purly as sarcasim. After all the SR line of pistols have been out for what, 5 or 6 years now? You would think they would have released a .45 version within the first year or two. |

they've been a little preoccupied with a crippling demand for the SR1911 and SR556s...kindof a big deal when you have to expand production lines and stop taking orders for 6 months.
EDIT: if I recall correctly glock was making it's line of handguns for almost a decade before they released a 45ACP variant.

While the world probably doesn't need another "plastic" gun, or more sarcasm for that matter, I think this is another winner for Ruger. Announcing new guns when demand for the current line is not being met seems a little over-ambitious, but they continue to do a lot of things right without my input...
FWIW if I had the extra cash I would order one of these tomorrow.

Since I gifted my SR9 to my son, I'll be picking up an SR45 whenever they are available.

I noticed the P345 is gone. R.I.P.
I'll take a gun with a real hammer over a funky glock wanna-be any day. |

that's OK Super Sneaky Steve. I too was surprised when I saw it was gone. I kindof wish that they would redesign and reintroduce the P89 with the SR style safety instead of the beretta style myself but what are you gonna do?
as to the claims of a "Glock wanna be" I am starting to get quite tired of pointing out the idiotic nature of that phrase and how ignorant every user of that phrase really is so for now I'll just let you have that one... please try to keep posts relevant to the OP and firearm discussed there-in

There also seems to be a new SR1911, a 4.25" barreled version with one less round capacity. Don't know if that is as new as the SR45, but I am noticing it for the first time.

there are several new listings that were not there last time I checked, they probably added them all at the beginning of the year to try and sneak them in before shotshow so they wouldn't have the same fiasco the did last year with the SR1911 and all of the demand hitting them at once.
the P345 is gone, the 22/45 LITE is now a fluted black anodized version that is a lot more appealing than the gold anodized cutout model(at least to me anyway). the ruger Gunsite is now available in stainless and a number of calibers have been kicked from their number 1 rifle lineups are just a few of the changes I've noticed today.

Ruger's SR Series convinced me to BOAT dollars on RGR stock. It is the only U.S. firearms stock I'd buy today.
Now if they would just come out with a SR series in 7.62X25.... |

Helped a buddy pick an SR9 for his first gun and I was impressed. Very comfortable, very reliable.
Happy to see the SR45. |

Don't get me wrong
I really do like this gun!However, given that it's a full-size gun, I'll try to hold out for the compact version. However, the SR9C is on my "buy list" for this year. I really hope the SR45c premieres, and soon. Then I plan on being among the first to order it!

With only ten rounds in the SR45, I'd opt for the 15 round SR40 instead.
At $425 the SR40 seems to be a great value as a nightstand or truck gun. |
