A year into the Ruger American Pistol line and the company has already added a second caliber to its compact variation. Serious defensive-minded individuals can now choose from either a 9 mm version or the new .45 ACP in its Compact "PRO" configuration. Take a look at this video from 2017 SHOT Show’s Range Day as American Rifleman’s Joe Kurtenbach tests his skills with the new .45 pistol.
