Sold my SR45 after its second trip to Prescott. Even after its 2nd trip to Ruger the magazines wouldn't seat properly with 10 rounds in it. I had high hopes for the 45 because my SR9 has been great for 4 years and I just bought an SR9c. Maybe I bought a lemon, but a familiar theme with the early models is failure to go into battery and broken magazine catches. A friend bought an SR45 in June (bought mine in January) and he immediately had difficulty getting the magazines to seat and failure to go into battery. Maybe they've ironed out the glitches-I mean the SR9 had major trigger and mag release issues at first until the D-shaped mag release and paddle trigger were utilized and the early LCPs had the drop/bang recall. As far as shooting goes, the SR45 is a great gun. The only 45acp I've ever been able to double tap with keen accuracy. No question the SR45 will improve. Ruger is great at evolution of an active model. I also shoot with a guy at the range who loves his SR45 and has no problems with it. Anyway, the SR9, SR9c and LCP are 3 of the best all-around semi-autos I've ever owned-and I've owned many. No reason to suspect the SR45 will not improve. Man, the SR45 is a great platform-still cutting teeth.
