Tack Driver

I had been looking for a new home defense pistol. I was looking at multiple brand/calibers. I knew what i really wanted was a full sized .45acp pistol. I began hunting for deals. I found a Ruger American at an agreeable price and jumped on it.

Great Shooter

First of all let me say I'm a genuine GLOCK fanboy. I own a pile of them and I love them. But I'm also a gun enthusiast so I do own other brands of guns. I was curious about the American from the start. There were no ranges of within 50 miles for me to tr

9mm Ruger pistol review.

One of the nicest 9mm pistols I've ever fired.

Good pistol, good price

Got the 8615 45ACP just before Christmas, for a good sale price.Target, plinking, and home defense is its role. I'm a single, elderly, and experienced, male gun owner. Sights were a little low for CCI 230 grain Blazer, about four inches high for lighter w

Great 45

I bot this gun for myself for Christmas and I absolutely love it. It looks and feels much better in hand than in a pic. Great trigger, I left the medium grips on, didn't feel the need to change it. I really like the way the gun feels in my hand and the wa

Great Gun

Bought this 9mm pistol at the Cabela's East Hartford, CT store. Due to the state laws the mag only holds 10 rounds.... annoying but no ones fault but the states. The 10th round is difficult to load, so I stick to putting in 9. The gun performed great . Sh

sweet 9mm

I bought a 9mm American at Cabelas and got a great deal. I got the 9mm with 17+1 shot magazine. It handles very well, points effortlessly, and has a sweet trigger pull. It is new to the market but if you look at the Ruger website they have holsters and ma

Excellent pistol, underrated!

I bought this Ruger in 9mm about 4 weeks back and have had it to the range 3 times. Each time I became more comfortable with it and my accuracy improves. I chose it over the Glock 19 as I believe the Ruger American is better built. I love the 3 optional c

Awesome pistol

I bought this pistol from my local Academy as soon as it was available. I had done lots of research on various blogs and Youtube. I looked at several guns including the Sig P 320, HK VP 9, Glock 19, and Smith and Wesson M&P 9. However, this gun and th

I know some prefer lighter weapons or Glock to mention one. This pistol is a little heavier but feels solid and exudes confidence.

Another great pistol!

I bought this pistol and really enjoyed it. Great shooter and easy recoil. Ruger hit a home run!

Ready to go

Trigger safety is a great feature no thumb safety, no magazine disconnect so the round in the chamber can be fired without the magazine.

Well balanced

With the magazine fully loaded with18 rounds, the pistol is very balanced. I shot 150 rounds through it and experienced two jams loading the next round in the chamber.

A GREAT 9mm striker fired hand gun.

A GREAT 9mm sticker fired hand gun. But, there are two problems I encountered. First, I cannot physically get 17 rounds in either of the magazines. Secondly, the trigger pull is way too heavy for me. I suffered a significant injury about thirty-five years

Just purchased and have shot about a hundred rounds. Problem with the 17 bullet clip in that very difficult to get the final rounds to enter. Had to be satisfied with entering 14. Also, did have a jam on my first try with the 17 clip. Do not like that. Bu

Took it out to the range today and could not be happier. The American is a well balanced, well built handgun. It put rounds down range with no issues. Shot with both hands and the ambidextrous slide and magazine release is appreciated. Break down and clea

I got this gun due to it being in the finals for the Miltary replacement pistol. I wanted a 9mm to got to the range a little cheaper than my .45, .40, and .357. I shot 100 rounds through it last week right out of the box. I saw some reviews online that sa

Bought the gun as part of the gun ammo package deal, the gun is great, but the deal not so great. Shop around you can get a better deal on both gun and ammo, by buying them seperately. Shot over 200 rounds through the gun, it performed flawlessly, no hang

Good trigger for a striker fired, accurate, and reliable.
