Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The P345 has a very comfortable grip that is integral with the polyurethane frame. The grip area has a large amount of molded-in checkering, and is sculpted and shaped to actually fit the human hand. The double-action trigger reach on the P345 is just 2.835 inches, which is almost identical to the trigger reach on a 1911 style auto. In the single-action (cocked) mode, the trigger reach on the Ruger is about three-eighths of an inch less. The barrel length on the .345 measures just a hair over four inches, 4.056" to be exact, and the overall length of the weapon is seven and five-eighths inches. The overall height is five and one-half inches. Where Ruger really made significant reductions in the bulk of the pistol is in the overall width of the pistol. The widest point on the weapon is across the ambidextrous safeties, where the gun measures a trim 1.154 inches, which is pretty slim for a double-action pistol chambered for the .45 ACP cartridge. The grip is thinner and the trigger reach shorter than on the Glock model 37 that is chambered for the shorter .45 GAP cartridge, but the Ruger carries a magazine containing eight of the full-sized .45 ACP cartridges. The slide thickness on the P345 measures barely over an inch, at 1.024 inches. The underside of the frame in front of the trigger has an integral Picatinny rail on which the shooter can hang accessories such as lights and lasers, if he so desires.
The sights on the P345 are adjustable for windage, and are of the three-dot configuration, but have no low-light illumination. The hammer is grooved and dished for easier cocking, and the slide release is easy to reach with either the thumb of a right-handed shooter or the trigger finger of a lefty. The trigger is smooth on the surface, and is about three-eighths of an inch wide. The decocking safety is ambidextrous, and is easily reached with the thumb of the shooting hand.
Ruger has incorporated an integral lock into the P345 that is unobtrusive and almost invisible. Some shooters detest these integral locks, but other shooters like them, depending upon the situation and local laws regarding the security of firearms. With the thumb safety in the "safe" position, a key is inserted into the lever on the right side of the pistol and turned clockwise to lock the safety in this position. The safety lever will not move into the "fire" position until the key in rotated counter-clockwise to unlock the safety. It is very effective, well hidden, and can be either utilized or ignored as the shooter desires.
