Ruger introduced its line of SR semi-automatic pistols in 2007, and its fans have been clamoring for an SR model chambered in the all-American .45 ACP ever since. This year, Ruger finally answered with the new SR45.

The SR45 is a striker-fired, polymer-framed, full service-sized gun. Weighing in at about 30 ozs., the pistol carries 10 rounds of the ever-popular .45 ACP, providing Ruger fans with the handgun they've long been asking for.
