Ruger SR45?

[philadelphia patriot]

Has anyone shot or fondled one of these yet? This might be the next toy on my list. I'm looking for a range and home defense .45acp. I had a Glock 30sf, sold it for a Ruger SR9c (for edc) and never looked back. I already have a 1911 too. I was looking at the M&P .45 (full size) too, but I really like the Ruger SR series.

I've fondled one but never shot it. Nice ergonomics, and I really liked how you could do the arched or flat back strap with the same piece.

If I had the choice between the SR45 and the M&P 45, I'd pick the M&P every time. Not saying there is anything wrong with the Ruger, just that I prefer the Smith.

i haven't handled or fired one but every ruger pistol i own has been a excellent firearm. my old p90 that i bought used for 250 is every bit as accurate and reliable as any other gun i've owned. i don't think you can go wrong with the ruger but the SW M&P series are really nice guns also.

I've only had the opportunity to put a few rounds down range with one. If you liked your glock you'll like the SR45. They handle very similarly. The only problem I had was on the first round I fired the mag dropped out of the gun. Somehow I hit the mag release when the gun recoiled. Otherwise it seemed pretty accurate and ran throught the remaining few rounds i shot out of it fairly accurately.

I was considering the SR 45 and the M&P 45 as a future purchase at the time and I have settled on the M&P when that time comes. I haven't had a chance to shoot the M&P 45 yet but I really like the 9 and 40 versions that I have shot. They just deem to fit me better.

Ruger's SR series pistols are solid pistols and I much prefer them over the M&P line, mainly because I loathe the M&P trigger. Given the price difference, it's a no-brainer in my eyes.

I know a guy who has 3 SR pistols and he swears by them, 2 9MM and an SR45, However Its a little fatter than the SR9, and only holds 10 rounds, Magazines are only at Cabella$ for 44$ each. Yes I have shot it and its reliable and accurate. He got it for $389 out the door in Lancaster county somewhere

I love the looks of it in the pictures, but I'm mildly flamed because I've never seen one to even get to hold it, much less shoot one. Still waiting......

I have a SR9C and SR45. I really like the triggers on them and I actually shoot them better than my Glock 26 and 19.

Everything I've heard about the SR series has been positive, so most likely the 45 will also be a good gun. It pisses me off to no end though that it only has a 10 round mag, if it were a proper "hi-cap" I'd of bought one already.
