Well, I picked up my new Ruger SR45 today, and went by the range after work. I put 160 rounds through it. I did not clean the gun at all before taking it to the range. No time.
Well, the gun performed pretty much flawlessly. Not one single misfire, FTE, FTF, or anything like that. I did have one round eject straight back; not sure what was up with that, but that was an anomaly.The slide locked back when empty every time and I had not one single light strike.
The gun was also very accurate. Windage was right on, while I needed to raise the POI about 2 inches at 12 yards. Easy to do on this pistol.
Got the gun home, and it was as filthy as a dirt road, but of course she cleaned right up. I removed the striker, cleaned the striker channel, etc. as well, so the gun is now ready for the range again!
With there having been a couple of negative experiences posted about the SR45, I thought that it might be appropriate to post this positive one. My copy, at least, appears to be completely trustworthy and accurate.
