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 some 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.
