Pops I have the stainless and love it nary a prob with it It does not have the rails . Never did like the rails on a pistol Jim

I worked for a computer co. for 25 years on electro mechanical accounting machines atm's etc and lubed with marvel mystery oil it does not turn to varnish or gum up esed sparingly it will lube well and stay in place a long time. Otherwise I would have been called out every nite to fix a prob...

I'm seeing some of the more common cal. 38 spec. 9mm, but haven't seen any 380 auto in over a year and a half here in west tx. I did see a box "old looking " at a gun show 68 bucks for 50 rnds. hah I'll throw the gun in the lake before I'll pay that for 380 All the others are twice the price...

I know it's not a revolver but I would like to see a p345 cut the barrel by 1/2" and the grip by one round ,about a half inch . Should be able to hold 8 rounds total and be a little more concealable with out sacraficing grip I could still get a full 3 finger grip on it I think it would be a real...

PS bye the way I have never dry fired this gun without a mag. installed. Can't say if or how many times it may have been before I bought it new. I really like this pistol and for me it shoots a lot better than I am able to hold or see anymore artritis in wrists and shoulders dosn't help had...

Ok guy's just to clarify what I did. I tried just loosening the set screw at first but the site wouldn't budge so I then took it all the way out. Still no budge I am aware of the spring loaded parts under the rear site I just have never seen a sight this tite before. I don't want to screw...

tdyoung 58 I have never had a prob with factoty rnds either only when I started casting my own for the 45 auto I have cast for revolvers for years and the auto was a learnung curve compounded by an out of round bullet mold but thanks to some of you guys sharing your knowledge I have gotten...

Ok guys Iv'e decided to clean the rear site on my p345 my ? is are the rear sites directional in the dovetail do you have to drift from right to left or does it matter I tried gently to drift my site to the right and I couldn't get it to budge. So what's the secret in moving it or am I just not...

Buckshotshorty I cast the lee 230 tc bullet and had a prob. with the bullets being out of round in one of the cavity's so when I sized and lubed them it would displace a little bit of lead on the driving band and create a ridge, the chambered shells would sometimes try to headspace on that...

Buck I'm not trying to badmouth the ruger I have about 6 other rugers in my stable and have always had good luck with them all. I'm thinking of ccw'ing the 345 along with my sp101 usually if I load a mag then chamber a round ,then top off the mag if I pull back on the slide about a1/16" it will...

Dakota1911 I shoot both factory and also reload and cast bullets I will admit I had a problem with my reloads until I got the seating depth and crimp "taper crimp" just right but I believe I have gotten past those problems. I have always just thought the recoil spring was a little to light...

I read somewhere that wolf makes a 15 lb. recoil spring for the p345 I have often thought that some of the click no bang issues might possibly be because of the lite spring that comes from the factory., I have noticed that my pistol will somtimes stop just short of going into full battery and a...
