Default Ruger American 9m/m?

Though I have a some expensive handguns, I like inexpensive pistols when they perform well and are accurate and I saw these Ruger American pistols listed on the net for under $345 shipped w/ two magazines. I thought about giving one a try, any first hand experience with this gun?

I've been watching them from the sidelines as well. If they are anything like the old P series Rugers, they will be 100% reliable. This time they actually seem to have good ergonomics and won't rattle like a BB in a tin can.

I'm hopeful of them being great pistols at an even better value. I'm sure some will chime in soon with their results.

I bought one when they first came out and I liked the gun much better than the earlier p series, the one I bought came with one bad mag ( follower was two high and would not lock open slide on last shot) but their customer service made it right with a simple call in fact they sent me two, and the package to send in the bad one, so I ended up with 3 mags for mine

we ran at least 500 rds through it then I sold it at a show used for $450

after I came across another brand that I liked better and that was cheaper,
