Ruger P345 KP345PR .45 ACP
This was one sharp-looking pistol, and fit and finish were well done, we thought. The frame was black polymer and the slide was stainless steel. Both components had sculptured panels and functional cutouts, giving the gun a modern look.
Ruger has several versions of the P345. One has a blued slide; another has a spring-loaded decocker instead of our version's non-rebounding, hammer-dropping, ambidextrous safety; yet another is DAO.

SIG Sauer P220 .45 ACP
The P220 is available with options that can put the MSRP upwards of $958, but our P220 was the blued base model. Available options include night sights and a nickel-coated slide. The special K-Kote finish is no longer available.
The combination of the white dot on the front sight and the white vertical line inside the rear notch offers fast sight acquisition. If you feel more comfortable with tritium sights, a set of Siglite night sights will cost an extra $100 if sold as original equipment. Send your slide to Sigarms and the factory will install a set of Siglites for $195.
