Use a pencil with a rubber eraser to reach down into the top of the slide and push the ejector (#46) forward and down until it locks in the down position. With the magazine removed and the safety in the “on” position, remove the slide by drawing it to the rear and push up on the slide stop (#54) to lock the slide in place at the rear. Visibly check the chamber while the slide is open to make sure no cartridge remains in the barrel.Ģ. Hold the pistol firmly around its grip and pull back the slide (#1) all the way.
Grasp the pistol around the grip, being careful to point the muzzle in a safe direction and to keep your fingers away from the trigger (#34.) Engage the safety by rotating the safety lever (#18 and #19) down, until the white dot appears through the hole in the left-hand safety lever (#19.) Remove the magazine by depressing the magazine latch (#39), allowing the magazine (#56) to be removed from the bottom of the grip. First, always be sure the weapon is unloaded. In fact, if it weren’t for its light weight, I would have to say the feel of this pistol during firing is very much like that of a more rigid, steel-framed semi-auto. One thing I especially appreciated was the lack of any “mushy feeling” from the grip frame twisting in the hand like I’ve experienced with some other polymer-framed. The KP345 was easy to shoot, has a very comfortable grip and points well. I had the opportunity to shoot the KP345 pictured here extensively, and all three shooters involved in the tests were impressed with the new Ruger’s performance and accuracy, as well as its easy handling qualities.

This lock can be operated when the safety is in the “on” position by inserting the supplied key through a hole in the right-side safety lever turning the key as far as it will turn in a clockwise direction locks the manual safety in the “on” position. In an effort to comply with some state and local laws, Ruger has added a key-operated internal lock to the KP345 pistol. KP345PR, P345PR, and KP345DPR models all come with the Picatinny-style accessory rail that is neat and unobtrusive. My test gun was stainless-steel version, equipped with the ambidextrous manual safety and a Picatinny-style accessory rail made integral with the frame. The KP345 is available with a manual safety or de-cock only, and with a blued or stainless top end. In addition, the KP345 comes with a nice array of other features like a more rounded trigger and guard, redesigned high-visibility white-dot sights, a loaded-chamber indicator, and an internal lock. Also featured on the KP345 is the exclusive Ruger “camblock” design to reduce felt recoil and frame stress. The new pistol features a slimmer, contoured, satin-finished polymer frame with a newly re-contoured checkered grip for improved control. Ruger’s new KP345 is a double/single-action, semi-automatic, and uses an eight-round, single-stack magazine in. As we have come to expect from Ruger, the pistols are also being steadily improved and the new KP345 is one outgrowth of that. Since the P-Series pistols were introduced, they’ve seen extensive use by law enforcement, government agencies, and sportsmen all over the world, and have gained a good reputation for their rugged durability. The P-Series was the result of a development program to build a state-of-the-art pistol with features designed by practical shooters, that would offer excellent reliability under harsh conditions. First introduced in 1987, the Ruger P-Series pistols were the first firearms to be manufactured at Sturm, Ruger’s new Prescott, Arizona, plant.
