Glad you got it. NOt real fond of Rugers little wound up spring that tends to break. NOt sure if your model has one though without seeing a brak down. Glad you got a .45 instead of those sorry 9 mm and .40 cal that everyone wants. Not much stopping power and will bounce off of a car glass. Test done by police officers using tactil gell (mostly only the millitary uses that stuff) show the .357 magnum as the weapon of choice for a one shot take down and the .45 right behind it.
NO let me explain what a one shot take down is. That does not mean a dead perp. It means that the weapon is powerful enough, and does enough damage to put the perp on the ground and defense less even if he still has a weapon in his hand. Meaning he wont shoot back at you any more. I don't like the .357 magnum ( even though I own one) 'cause it can go through the body and hit something else. The .45 I carry will not do that. |

I have the new .45 Ruger as the duty carry and the older .40 Ruger as my off duty carry (was the old duty pistol and I bought it).
I like the clip release on the new gun. It is only on one side (left) and you can't kick the clip out by accident, bumping up against something like the console in the car. |

Yeah, I hate my Tarus. Even though the mag release can be installed on either side of my .45 it can still be tripped by your Uncle Mikes holster on the left side. I have to watch it, but it's second nature be now.

never considered the 9mm..... just not practical i guess, i went to the gun shop looking for a glock .45 but saw the ruger and fell in love.(and it was half the price) the P90 is a little large to carry concealed but man....what a gun

.... when it exits. Another good reason not to use one for a carry gun. Can you tell for sure if you hit the perp what that round will hit and where it will hit if it exits a body?? If it hit a car, the law suit wont be too bad, but if it hit a person, well I don't have to tell ya how bad it would be. |

ya gotta remember that there is a whole bunch more of NY State than the big city. i have never been to NYC and really have no desire to ever see it.
i live about 450 miles east of the coast in the middle of lakes, streams and mountains. my ccw permit allows me to carry concealed or open all over the state except for within the "big" city, Schools and government facilities. for fathers day the wife "let" me purchase another one....a Ruger Blackhawk .45LC, 7 1/2" barrel with a scope. put darn near $50 through it over the weekend, what a great shooting piece. i would love to take a white tail with it this fall, but we will see what happens |
