Had my first real trouble with a Ruger American 45 gun the other day. The guide rod assembly came apart on me when cleaning. I finally got it back together (what a pain). Next time i went out when i broke it down for cleaning it did it again.( not good)... so i contacted Ruger customer service...

I don't shoot cast lead bullets, haven't since i was shooting black powder. I do however reload for my 45acp guns which are a Ruger SR1911, Ruger SR45, Ruger American 45. I normally use Hodgdon Titegroup and 200gr Rainier RN with a charge of usually 5.2grn. Been using this load for a long time...

A little late for the American, but if i continue to like the red dot i have a Ruger SR40 that i might also think about installing one on. Thanks for the info i will check into it.

Sorry guys something went wrong at my picture sight, have replaced it with one that works. If you want to see the pictures go back to original message and click on the url there.

Alien Gear makes a very comfortable holster that the RAP fits in fine. As a matter of fact by changing the spacers it will carry a Ruger SR1911, a Ruger SR40 and a Ruger American 45. I don't know if they have the shell for a American 9 with the under barrel laser/light, but you might be able to...

I'm pretty sure i have mentioned i wasn't that fond of the rear sight on the new Ruger American 45 i just got so i was thinking of trying one of the mini red dots on it. Being fairly new on the market there really are few 3rd party parts for it so finding a way to mount the thing was a problem...

Seems to me like blaming the ammo that works in other guns is a little out of line maybe. For example i use the Honady critical duty ammo in my 38spl, in my Ruger SR40, In My Ruger SR1911, and in my Ruger American 45 and have never had any jam-ups or failure to fires in any of those guns so...

Uuuuuh... that is what i thought too :roll: If she has no trouble shooting that 38 +P then she will have no problem at all shooting a 45acp so i wouldn't go around offering to let her shoot your 45 unless your willing to buy a second one :mrgreen: Glad to see your boss isn't an anti gunner, the...

Let's hope such is in your future. The Ruger SR1911 is a great gun, well built, looks beautiful shoots like a dream and is defiantly what you want for target shooting. Also is a good carry gun, but as i said i think between the two that the American would be probably the best of the two for your...

First off you won't go wrong with either choice, both the SR1911 and the American are fine guns, i have both in 45acp and love em. Both are well priced and well built and i recommend them both. For the purpose you stated i think i might tend to recommend the Ruger American a bit more, i have...

Well i took the plunge yesterday, my gunsmith called me to let me know he had finished adjusting the back sights on both my Ruger 1911 and the Ruger American. I Went over and picked them up and got to talking with him about maybe trying a mini red dot and he told me that he had installed quite a...

Hey i defiantly appreciate the url, they have some nice stuff there that i would defiantly be interested in for the SR40, that replacement looks nice, but it takes a glock adapter also to hook up the red dot and they don't have it so won't do me much good unless i can find one some place. At...

Ok so i am not real happy with the back sights on my Ruger SR40 and my Ruger American 45. The SR40 will let you adjust elevation with a simple screw driver, but to adjust the windage is a pain in the butt. The American has no elevation adjustment and windage is also a pain in the butt. What i am...

Does anyone make an adjustable both Elevation and Windage back sight that fits on the Ruger American 45 ? I see Ruger makes one for the SR1911 but they don't show one for the Ruger American, or at least i didn't see one on the website. Or by chance would the one for the 1911 happen to work on...

Ok, i need to make a sight adjustment on my Ruger SR1911. According to the manual you loosen the allen screw and move the sight which ever way you want to go. Problem is, how in heck do you move the sight ? Darn thing acts like it is welded in place. I have hit it with a couple of things rather...
