Ruger Bringing New SR45 to SHOT Show
We are hoping to get our hands on the new Ruger SR45 at SHOT Show this year. Dimensions are just slightly larger than the 9mm and .40S&W versions we’ve become accustomed to, with the exception of width, which is exactly the same. Capacity is 10+1, putting the SR45 on par with Smith & Wesson’s M&P 45. The new variant shares all the features of the previous SR series guns, including adjustable 3-dot sights, pre-set striker fired trigger system, giant loaded chamber indicator, and the controversial magazine disconnect which deactivates the trigger system once the magazine is removed. A 1911 style manual thumb safety and Picatinny accessory rail round out the features list.
Given the American shooters’ love for the .45acp cartridge, a version of the SR series pistol chambered for it seems like an obvious direction to go. Given the popularity of the Springfield XDS, M&P 45C and Glock 30/36 pistols also chambered for .45acp, can an SR-45c compact variant be far behind?

I'm happy with the S&W 457. 8+1! I've got bigger mags in my jacket pocket!
So I guess if you want a ruger handgun without the magazine safety crap you have to buy a revolver now.
