 Hey there friends, thanks for checking in. Today we're looking at a Ruger American Compact in 45ACP. This is actually a new release to the Ruger American line and what makes this different is that it comes with a gray Cerico frame and slide and I think it looks super cool. It's the same setup as the other Ruger American Compact in 45 except it has a Cerico gray that did not raise the MSRP. $579 which is the same MSRP as the all black model that Ruger is offering with this gray model. It also comes with an additional model that has a thumb safety. This is called the Pro model so it does not have a thumb safety. Now last week I reviewed the Ruger American Competition and this is a new release from Ruger as well. This has a 5 inch barrel, lightning cuts there, fiber optic front sight, adjustable rear sights, a nice texturing on the grip and 17 round magazines and many people showed interest in this, has a great feel to it. Now I'm working on a range review but this video has to do with this model and I think Ruger did a very nice job. Now there is one more thing that is different with this and the all black model and that is the three mags offered in the case. The all black model offers a 7 round and a 10 round mag. This model offers three 7 round magazines. Now you can see this one here has an extended base plate. This one's a flat base plate. The case offers extensions with all of them if that's what you want. Now I will say with this flat one it still offers three figure contact with my average size hands. So I think that's pretty cool and a nice touch to offer three 7 round magazines. It still has the grip modules that we're used to with the American line and I like that. Two others in the case along with the one installed and the way that looks against the gray I think is pretty nice. But the one out of the case fit me just fine. The pick rail remains right there as we're used to. One hole indicator, three dot Novak sights and a trigger that I'm measuring right around five and a half pounds does have trigger bar safety and we're looking right there for the reset. It's a nice package and I do like this gray. I think it offers something a little different. It comes from the factory that way. It's nothing that you have to do afterward and three 7 round magazines is a nice touch without actually raising the MSRP. So I think Ruger did a nice job with this. Now I took it to the range already, put a variety of loads through it. Let's go ahead and roll through some of that footage. We'll come back and talk more about it. Here we have our no steel case loads, 15 yards, let's try one handed here. No problem, fed through them all, 30 yards back. I've got the American compact and 45. See how it does. It seems like I do better with the plate on the left. Let's try that right here, I'll go back to the right. There we go. Here are seven rounds, 230 grain, defensive loads, Ruger American compact and 45. Disassembling the American compact and 45 ACP is the same as the other guns in the Ruger line. Back to slide back, push this lever down and then without any need to pull the trigger off comes the slide and there's what we're looking at with the glass filled nylon frame and it has a dual recoil spring and a 3.75 inch barrel. You can see that it has been serocoded all throughout the internal of the slide. And the frame. So the entire gun has been serocoded but I really did enjoy it at the range. You know I was actually quite surprised at the accuracy, I hope I demonstrated that with my shooting portions of this video. It is a nice handgun, you know the way I look at it is that the grey serocote that makes it look super cool is a bonus but I do like the way it shoots and that's what's most important. Now the 3.75 inch barrel, the nice trigger set up, the three 7 round magazines with a price that I find fairly attractive, you know you're looking at, for the all black model, I studied this, I went online, I'm looking at right around 430 to 460 on average. I think this is going to be right around that same cost but there it is. Is it a new release? Well it's not a new release handgun but it has new release features from Ruger and I think a lot of people are going to like it and honestly I would choose the all grey model over the black model because I just think it looks super cool.
