I have been thinking about getting a Ruger P345. Does anyone out there shoot one? Let me know your opinion. Both pro & con. Thanks

Hey there 45super,

As far as I am concerned, the P345 is a good one.

Feels good and shoots good.

I have not, and expect to do little extended range shooting with mine, as I consider it to be an up close and dirty unit,

At those ranges, it is very hard on the neck portion of a target, creating just one very large hole as quick as I can load and fire.

Almost all of my shooting with the P345 has been rapid fire. Slam em down the barrel as fast as I can bring the sights to bare and pull the trigger.

The only "issue" I have had, has been with case bullets, and I needed to run my loads through the Lee sizer made for putting the ammo back close to new or factory size.

After that treatment, they ran slick as the preverbial china door knob.

Buy and enjoy, providing you can find one.

Keep em coming!

I don't know what mine will do up close.  First week I had it I shot at IHMSA chickens at 50 meters.  Knocked over 2 in 8 shots.  Felt that was pretty good.  A couple of weeks ago I took it with me when shooting some of my silhouette guns.  I shot two clips at 50 yards.  Fired, brought to level, fired again, etc thru two clips.  Went down range and easily covered 16 shots with my hat at 50 yards.  That is open sights at a piece of cardboard approx 2'x3'.  I just aimed at the middle.  Mine will do what I need it to do.  Hopefully I will never need it.

Evening 45Super ,

Had my P-345 since last fall....just recently got around to actually shooting from bags with some handloads I cooked up.  At 15 yds with 200xtps and some bullseye , it put 5 in under an inch.  I did mic it , don,t remember exactly what they measured,,,, .9 something.  It has never missed a beat , no malfunctions, trigger is decent for an out-of-the-box Ruger.  It has found a home.  For the money , I really don't think there's a better buy, if ya want a .45 .  Good Luck
