Ruger American Pistol 9mm Model

[Leadmelter]

This my first plastic gun and feels good in my hands. My problem is with the trigger. I put a 110 rounds thru it and got the sights (okay). But what is the function of the trigger in the trigger.
I am a fossil and when you pull the trigger, the gun goes bang. There seems to be a creep to get the parts align to go bang. I know I need more time with the pistol and reread the owner's manual to understand what is happening.

The inner part is a trigger safety of sorts. You have to depress both to get it to fire and if it just snags something without hitting the inner part it won't fire. Its the same on my lc9s pro, you get used to it after awhile

The inner part is simply a safety. I held one of these a couple of months ago and think it fit in my hand better than any gun I've ever handled. One in 45acp might very well be my next handgun purchase.

" One in 45acp might very well be my next handgun purchase."

For me, for sure. I have two 9mms I like so much I have to get the .45 ACP version. One of the few .45 ACP +P manufacturer rated guns out there. These guns are built like tanks. Take down is as good as it gets. Many have commented that the trigger is "too good" as it will fire with no notice. The trigger is smooth and then some. Watch Hickok 45's video. He does a good job of explaining it. You should get used to it if you persist. For me, if I am pulling the trigger while aiming at a Goblin, I want it to fire. These guns are bet your life reliable.

I've been contemplating a semi auto in 45 in something other than a 1911 but everytime I go to look I end up with another revolver. :shrug:

I fired one in .45 not long after they came out. Accurate, comfortable, and lots-o-shots.
I would definitely buy one.

Touché.

I haven't given them a look. Typically wait a few years to get issues resolved.

The more you shoot/pull that trigger the better the trigger will get. Compare one that shot hundreds of rounds to a new one, you'll feel the difference. Of course, you will also get better.
I almost sold my first Glock real cheap, I thought the accuracy was terrible, gave it another chance, then I started getting better and better with it. Striker fired pistols are a different animal.

Shoot it like a Glock, or for people born before 1990, shoot it like a service revolver. There will be creep as others said because you're disengaging the safety(s) when you pull, but should feel a good stop. Practice pulling the trigger, releasing until it recocks, and then staging it back to that last stop. That's the way I learned to shoot Smith DA revolvers and it's the same method I use with duty semiautos like Glocks, M&Ps, Sigs, etc. It may take some practice.

Yes they are. But it makes it easy to spot the steel and wood classics in the glass case at the LGS!
