Ridiculously accurate... Ridiculously good trigger... Ridiculously slim grip...

Seriously, for this type of pistol its accuracy is above par. The striker-fired trigger is better than most. And for a double stack .45 acp its about as slim as a 1911.

I know several here own one and have already shot them but I just recently had a chance to test the one previously sent to me, it took awhile for the test ammo to arrive because of the ammo shortages. As the ones who already own a SR45 know it's a fine shooting pistol and I was anxiously awaiting the arrival of enough ammo to do a fair test. With four different brands on hand it was to the range.

Fed. American Eagle 230 gr. FMJ, 5-rounds fired at 25 yards from a bench.

I was not expecting as good of a group from this pistol, but it was a pleasant surprise and the Federal was not the most accurate. At close range the Ruger was delivering touching clusters. And banging steel was a blast with the big .45. During rapid fire the SR45 absorbed the recoil while the slim profile grip provided a secure hold. I'm still astonished that this is a double-stacked pistol. Ruger sure did a fine job with this big bore.

Thanks, your photo studies of guns you review are the best on the internet.
 
Nice shooting. I haven't even thought of shooting mine at that distance. I figure my SR 45 is capable of groups like that, but for myself I need more time behind the trigger for that. You are absolutely right, this is a very well made and thought out pistol.

Just out of curiosity .... where's the 5th round in that group? Looks good, but I don't see the 5th hole. :D

My guess ... it's the top hole in the 10 ring! Twofer one!!!

That sounds like my reaction when I shot my SR9!!

Thanks for noticing. I try, but I'm no photographer and wish I could take better pics but also for that matter wish I was a better shot.

It's definitely capable.

My SR9c is accurate enough for my carry purposes but this things accuracy was so unexpectedly good.

I'd guess that if they're honest, there are a few million shooters who wish they were better than they are. Heck, I wish I was as good as I used to be. I think I'm a fairly decent shot but I know what a real expert can do and that's not me. Don

I heard that.
