Ruger P345 45 ACP

Anybody still shoot the P345? Comments positive or negative.

I DO kept one sold two that I had, wrks like a charm yet

I still really like mine. I've carried it from time to time as well.

Totally reliable. Very accurate.

Nice looking Ruger P345.

I still have one and still shoot it. Good gun - reliable & accurate. I have a StreamLite on mine and it is my night stand gun.

I'll take any P gun. The P93 is my favorite. Best looking of the bunch and feels great in the hand.

My P345 is still my night stand pistol. Have complete confidence in it especially after ''I cleaned the rear sight''.

I found a lnib ssp345 a few months ago. I did not "clean" the rear sight I removed the mag safety Also put in a heavier recoil spring and extra power mag springs from wolff. Have a 19# hammer spring on the way.

Stock it was a good gun but a few bucks for springs will turn it into a great gun. It is my night stand gun so I trust it.

I like mine. I personally think they are one of the finer 45 ACP's on the market. They are the beginning of the SR series. I was thrilled to get one. Had a couple over the years, this one isn't going anywhere.

I had one. Never had a FTFire/FTFeed/FTE.... was totally reliable from the day I got till the day I let it go. I only let it go because I wanted an SR1911. The guy I sold it to totally loves it. It shot like a lazer for me. I never touched the sights.... they were dead on at 20 yards.

Did you ever remove the magazine safety? The parts are under the rear sight. That's what caused the FTF sometimes if the slide wasn't reinstalled properly while the mag safety was present.

I'm pretty sure that the issue is without a magazine in place, dry firing will cause the firing pin to hit the "flag" of the magazine disconnect. Either or both parts might deform which could result in failure to fire stoppages.

You hit the nail on the head!

Got the 19lb hammer spring installed and so far have 300 rounds thru it with zero issues. This is becoming one of my favorite hand guns

Yep, still shoot mine and it stays in the nightstand drawer. I had an issue with it right after I bought it. Sent it to Ruger and they fixed the problem and put in a new barrel. A couple thousand rounds through it with no problems.

Just finished cleaning and oiling my P345 for the heck of it.

Seems to be lots on the plus side for the P345. My favorite was always was the KP90DC. Never a problem with it, but my hands have gotten so bad I could no longer rack the slide. Traded it to my son and now he has all of our "P Series". I wound up with his Smith 2.0 45acp as I can work the slide better. Gun for gun, I think Junior got the better deal!!

Just had an outdoor range session with my P345 Friday morning and it gobbled up 100 rounds of my 200 gr LSWC loads w/o a hitch. Still love this pistol!

My p345 was the most accurate 45 I have ever fired. Problem was when I wanted to trade it on a smaller handgun each store I went in turned me down; they didn't want it. It was an excellent gun but I wanted to keep only one caliber so it had to go.
