Oh, interesting. Gunnies might want to check out Ruger's page today.

SR45.  Ohh, interesting.  And, it looks like the P345 is history.

LC380 -- for those that whine about the LCP and LC9 recoil.  Kind of an obvious conversion to do.

What's the difference?

Wonder if they're working on a single-stack version.

Is it just me but do a lot of the service size Ruger pistols just look chunky and could uses a lot of trimming. Sort of like a marble statue that is blocked out but far from finished.

P345 -- single stack, hammer fired DA/SA, the last developmental gasp of Ruger's original centerfire autos, the P-series. 

SR45 -- double stack, striker fired, design "owes a lot to Glock".

Brick on a stick. 

[AJ Dual]

Probably just an unfortunate coincidence, and it's a 10 round magazine because of the size/form-factor issues with the pistol and the .45 ACP, however, I really wish they'd have announced it with an 11 round magazine, "just because". 

[slingshot]

A lot of new stuff from Ruger.  The ones that appeal to me in the short term is the re-introduction of the 6-shot Super Redhawk in 480 Ruger as well as a 6-shot Alaskan version.  I HATE RUGER!!  Now I am going to want another gun or three.

The LCR is coming out in 22 mag (6-shot).  The LCP in 380 ACP.  Lots happening.  But then, I still have not seen the new SP-101 in 22LR and it was introduced months ago.

Must be the 'canned ham' philosophy of gun size and shape.

[slingshot]

I personally have always believed Ruger's old semi-auto pistols (P85, P95 etc.) were way too chunky and as a result, would never have considered them for purchase.

Sweet!
Maybe Rossi will start chambering their lever guns in .480 again. I had given up hope of ever finding one.

Ruger does do the 480 Ruger in their single shot rifle already.

The 480 Ruger was a big let down with the amount of support Ruger actually gave their first very own caliber.  They made something like 500 5-shot Alaskans in 480 before they dumped it.  This one is listed as a 6-shot.

I would rather have a 480 for bear medicine than the 454 Casull.  You get something like 5 feet of penetration with a solid.

Yes. Once you get away from very limited factory ammo and cast up a mess of 400gr pills, the .480 really shines. I think the bigger , badder S&W X-frame offerings that came out shortly after is what killed it off.

[slingshot]

I always thought it was the 454 Casull that killed it when Ruger offered both calibers in the SRH.  No question, the 460 and 500 S&W affected sales.  The 500 S&W is a similar kind of caliber.

The LCR is coming out in 22 mag (6-shot).

This figures, since I just bought an LCR-22. I can't figure out why they would make the 22 magnum a 6-shot instead of 8-shot, though. That takes the sting off a little bit.

[41magsnub]

It would be interesting to try an SR45 side by side with my M&P 45 since on the surface they are pretty similar.  Not enough to go out and buy an SR45, but still.

[seeker_two]

The SR45 was due to come...as well as the end of the P345. I won't be suprised to see the P95 get d/c'd next.

Surprised to see a six-shot  .22Mag LCR. I thought they'd at least go for seven rounds so the bolt cuts would be b/t chambers.

Still wish Ruger would make a LCP in  .22lr....and a LCR in 9mm....

but they are very comfortable to shoot.  i am surprised to see the p95 in production again (still?). it just goes to show how popular the design is.

[mtnbkr]

I want a longer barrel, adjustable sight LCR in 22lr.  Also want an LCP in 22lr.

Ruger's autos have never done anything for me.  Their DA/SA stuff with slide mounted safety/decocker always struck me as too big and blocky.  Their recent striker style offerings... the trigger guard looks too small on them.

[Boomhauer]

I don't think anyone is going to miss the P345.

[Perd Hapley]

I don't think anyone is going to miss the P345.

I've never fired one, but I molested one at a gunshop, once. I'll miss them, if I never get to own one.

[Jamisjockey]

My first gun was a Ruger P95DC.  Decent gun, but handled like a shoebox with sights.
I'd buy another, but not as a primary.

[AJ Dual]

Davidson's Gallery of Guns has this new Ruger as this month's free giveaway contest item.

However, this is the only way I'd really be interested in getting one.

I never liked the way they handled or the way they looked.  However, they were always reliable, decently accurate, and cheap.  A lot of people bought them and still have them.
