I've always been a big fan of the 45acp caliber and wondered if Ruger has any plans to make a compact 45 similar to the sr40c and sr9c.
Will there be an sr45c?

I would venture to say yes, just because that is the order it happened in last time [full size first followed by a c]. You could always head to Ruger's website and use the "ask the CEO" function for a canned answer regarding the upcoming SR45c. Let us know what they say! I am wanting an SR45 but have not even seen one in the flesh yet so I'll have to be patient I guess.

What store in Texas did you buy that?GKC said:
None of my LGS have seen any yet here in the Austin/Round Rock area.
OP
If the sr45c is a single stack 6+1 I think I will stick with my sr40c with 9+1.

Perhaps the size of the Glock 36 or the Springfield XDS? If it does take the FS (10-round) magazines with a sleeve, that would be a real good setup. I don't know why they wouldn't do it that way...they have on the other SR series pistols.

It's a full size gun, that's for sure! There are people who carry a full size 1911, but I'm not one of them (too big, too heavy.) I wanted this gun primarily for home defense...although I can see taking it in the car with me, or us, especially on trips. 8)
I love the way these guns (SR series) break down...very easy...and I took the mag disconnect out following the same procedure as for the SR9. Kudos to Ruger for designing it to be this easy...almost like they wanted you to be able to take it out if you wanted to. It is also very easy to remove the striker and clean out the channel...which I like to do.
There is one little niggle that I will mention...on an M&P, you don't have to depress the sear disconnect lever. You can pull the trigger just like on a Glock. I don't know if that would work on an SR, but I have noticed that you do have to have the trigger in the forward (or cocked) position for the slide to clear the disconnect lever when putting the slide back on. If the trigger is in the rearward position, the slide can't get past it the lever that sticks up to depress the magazine disconnect...you can push it forward slightly, enough for the slide to clear it, though. It's been my habit to pull the trigger on my M&Ps to field strip them (of course, making doubly sure that the gun is empty) but it's not the way to do it on this gun.

I sure hope they do. Its a market that is really growing right now. I can see it getting bigger and bigger. It would be a definite contender to the Springfield and glock concealed carry versions.
OP
The main negative will be capacity. A small 45 will likely hold 6+1, which might be considered too few by many.

Given that in most SD situations, the average number of rounds fired is less than three, then 6 should be adequate. Unless you plan to miss a lot, of course. :lol:
It really comes down to a compromise...less weight and more ability to conceal for most people translates to smaller guns with smaller magazines. The smaller the capacity, the bigger round you can carry should maximize effectiveness....at least in theory. Shot placement is more critical than caliber, of course, and that varies by individual based on his ability to shoot the gun/caliber in question. A .22 round in the BG's eye is probably going to be more effective than a .45 in his big toe, or a complete miss.
