OK
I know that from reading the early reports of the 345 that there was a few problems. The problems seem to have disappeared and the vast majority of 345 owners are very pleased with their guns.
reliability, accuracy, function---all praise.
The concept--excellent. A new ruger 345 that is light, thin, and on accounts great ergonomics. A pistol that can do dbl duty on patrol or ccw. And yes i could probably conceal it better than my p90.
The question that i have is this. So many threads about the 345 seem to constantly warn about dry-firing without a mag in place. Also read that ruger has now placed this same warning about dry-firing on their mags.
Just how fragile is the blasted mag disconnect to the weapon?
Are we talking about one, three, or ten snaps and you get damage? or is it 20 or a 100 snaps? I can see the trigger pulled a couple of times if one is not accustomed to the mag disconnect. Yes, i know, read and follow the instructions, but sometimes it happens. I can also see an improperly seated mag possibly causing the same problem during a rapid fire string possibly resulting in a "dry-fire". Over the years, inadvertant dry-fires could add up.(not a tremondous amount--just a few) Anybody got any thoughts or 1st hand experience about this?
