Any experience with Ruger American .45 ACP?

I had a Ruger American in 9mm when it first came out and had a friend that offered me an extremely good deal and sold it which I regret.  It had a great trigger and was extremely accurate.   Never had any issues with reliability no matter what ammo I used

The 4.5" is at the extreme upper end of size and weight for me to carry.  The round count is nice, but consider the extra weight 10 rounds of 230gr app adds to the 32 oz pistol.

I would consider it more of a fun range/plinking gun.  However,I personally would always choose a 1911 over anything else for range/target shooting.  They just feel right and are easy to upgrade trigger and sights (presuming it is a dovetail sight to begin with).

A word of caution, if you really want to start shooting a lot, reconsider the 45 acp.  In todays world it is considerably more expensive than 9mm.  Reloading is no longer as cost effective due to the scarcity and expensive of primers.
