All Ruger P345 SA/DA owners... question for you:

If you put the safety/decock on, pull the trigger back as far as it will go, then pull the hammer back all the way while still holding the trigger back and release the hammer only, does the hammer slip past the sear and drop?

I also noticed that if I repeatedly pull the trigger with the safety on it will (after 10+ pulls) release the hammer.

I was very surprised by this and wonder if I have a problem or if this is a Ruger thing :S

*FYI- the safety does move the firing pin forward, but, it isn't very comfort inspiring to have a hammer fall when it's not supposed to.

If anyone can confirm with their 345, it would be appreciated - I'm sending mine in.

~Cheers

Yes, mine had the same problem.

I didn't have the decocker model, but I did notice that with the safety on, if I pulled and held the trigger at max for sometimes upwards of 10 seconds, the hammer would fall.

I didn't really consider it a safety problem and probably wouldn't have sent mine in. With the safety on, the firing pin moves forward and it shouldn't cause a problem.
 
A little update: I handled two NEW Rugers at a store yesterday... both did the exact same thing :eek:

It's normal I suppose, but weird.
 
I thought it to be normal. If you're concerned, go on the Ruger site and do an e-quiry. They will get back to u within 3 days or if u cant wait, call them. You want the facility in AZ not NH for the P345.
