If you’re used to wheel guns and 1911s, it’s going to feel weird. Hell... I was used to M9s and hated the glock when i first fired it. I had to force myself to accept that it was a superior pistol.
After some growing pains, and a lot of practice, I’m convinced that it is the finest handgun in the world.

Do you have to know how to do a back flip to fire that thing?

I’ve always wanted an M1911 but they’re a bit out of my reach. I liked them when I was in the Navy.

I agree, to a point, that it's ONE OF THE FINEST handguns in the world... And I'm sure that I could come to get used to it, and probably would if I was going to go after a concealed carry permit. I would never carry my 1911, even though I love it (IMHO, the finest COMBAT handgun ever designed), but would probably carry my 645. I'm just more comfortable with a revolver, when I'm not competing. And given the action of a Glock, it would probably suit me well. But I'm in a "no more guns for Mark" mode right now... I'm afraid that I'll need to buy another gun safe if I get one more!

Nice... But the 30 is too small for my hands. I have a 21sf which is perfect for my hands, but too large to carry. IMO, the G19/23 is the ideal combo of size, capacity, and accuracy. All you have to do is pick your caliber. I find the 40 too snappy. 9mm is perfect for me.

I second the G27 in.40 for a carry gun 9 rounds but very small
it recoils like most 9mms

Mike, I’ve been selling guns for the past 13 years. The P345 is a good pistol. It’s reliable, sturdy, and inexpensive. That said, I consider it a poor choice for carry. Although any carry gun must be reliable and accurate (the Ruger is both) it must also be made in a size that makes it easy for the owner to carry it. The P345 is bulky. Carrying it daily requires choices of clothing and often expenses to have a wardrobe that can conceal it.
I’d suggest either a Glock or Smith and Wesson M&P in .40 caliber. You’ll get excellent performance fron the cartridge and the guns are easier to carry and conceal. They also hold more rounds, and more is better.
Although you might not care for the trigger systems on those pistols, the fact that you are asking demonstrates that you are willing to spend some time and keep an open mind regarding your choice for carry. It is fairly easy to master the safe and proper operation of these guns, and they are similar in cost to the one that interests you. The Glock also has the advantage of being a best seller in this country. Many people buy one and fire 50 rounds through it, put it away, and sell it when they have other priorities. You can get them in near perfect condition cheap-cheap.

LOL! Good thing that baby is ported...it might be a handful otherwise...
To: MichaelP
I love my 345, but will be trading it in soon for an XD45 compact for carry.
I would, even still, offer a strong endorsement for the 345, it is a fine firearm.

However if you want deep cover including summertime: You may want to consider a S&W 642 j frame five rounds will shoot +p if needed
15 oz loaded also comes with crimson trace laser.

I know... I was about to make some smartass remark about how mine holds 15, but as you probably already know, I live in NY. I think I’ll take my 10 round mags and go home now...
