Any opinions or issues on these handguns appreciated
Thanks

Got to the range with the American 45c yesterday. All I can say is that for sure Ruger sure isn't the preferred gunmaker of the GODs. Ruger makes a very good single
action revolver, but their semi auto handguns are a crap shoot, IMO.
I fired 50 rounds and had 5 - 6, light strikes that went bang on second chambering. Got home and begin to clean it and found out that the recoil spring had slipped over the retaining washer and wasn't able to get it back in place.
Need to call Ruger and get replacement recoil assembly.
Disappointed for sure after all their propaganda.

I'm a big Ruger fan but not the Security 9 or RAP. The S9 is an Sccy level gun for a higher price, the RAP is big and heavy and doesn't do anything the P series or SR series did just as well. I think it is interesting that the PC carbine (which is an awesome gun worthy of the Ruger name) ships with a Glock magwell in the box. It's a tacit admission from Ruger that no one would buy the PC carbine if they could only use Ruger mags for pistols that the buyer probably doesn't own and probably doesn't want. Alot of folks agree with me, as there are bunches of Ruger magwells on sale at Fleabay and GB.
