A couple years ago, Ruger discontinued the P345--before I could buy one! I carried a S&W 645 for 15 years. I loved the features but got tired of the weight of the big Smith. Now, the P345 is back, perhaps never to be seen again, so I'm buying one. I'm looking for tips and suggestions from P345 owners.
1. Is it still a bad idea to dry fire without a magazine in place?
2. How much of a break in will I likely need?
3. I've heard they like lots of lubrication--yes?
4. Favorite holsters or ammo?
5. If you've swapped out the hammer strut spring for a lighter Wolff spring, I'd love to know how that worked out for you.
For those of you who hate the P345--please just move on. It's my gun, and I like TDA designs, magazine safeties, loaded chamber indicators, reliable locks and flip-floppy slide-mounted safeties. Remember--15 years with a 645!
