Ruger P345 any thoughts?

[anonymous4481]

Looking for a accurate affordable range 45. Anyone own this pistol? I shot the 9mm 95 model had a decent trigger set up, fired just about everything i fed it. On the fence on saving cash and getting this Ruger or spending the extra cash and getting the Bretta PX4 Storm.

the P345s are good guns, like most rugers they are not the prettyist guns, but they work and are decently accurate.

If you have the money I would buy the PX4 or an RIA 1911. I would also suggest renting and trying them first to decide which one you like shooting most, at $0.25 to $0.50 a round the ammo for .45ACP will end up being a much bigger cost than the price difference between these guns.

Had one, wish I didn't sell it, just like above, very reliable, skinny(single stack) and light for a 45, enough so I take out hiking. Only thing I didn't like was the DA, man that is one Long pull, but it is one more safety if you like that(I did). SA is short and crisp. Ate all the ammo I gave it including tula and +p, again great pistol.

I have one. Great gun if you like DA/SA I'm not a big fan of those but that is personal preference. They feed anything you give them and are not too heavy. They are a good CCW gun because the smallish size and light weight with the long 1st shot pull.

Sometimes you can find used ones in great shape for $350-ish.

If your in the Sacramento area You can meet me at a range and try mine some time if you like.
