Ruger KP345PR .45 ACP Two-Tone DA/SA P-Series Pistol – 2005 Rail Model with Two 7-Rd Magazines
The KP345PR is the rail-equipped, stainless-slide variant of Ruger’s final P-Series design. Built in 2005, this full-size .45 ACP combines a slim grip profile, modern safety suite, and a two-tone stainless/black finish that set it apart from earlier P-Series pistols. Its limited nine-year production run and collector interest in the last P-Series generation make this example especially notable.
Condition
Overall Condition: Very good condition, showing only light, superficial signs of prior handling or use.

Specific Condition Notes: The slide and polymer frame display only faint handling marks. Controls remain unmarred, and the bore is bright and free of fouling.
What’s Included

The KP345PR represents the culmination of Ruger’s P-Series evolution, adding a three-slot accessory rail, stainless slide, and enhanced safety package while retaining the robust P-Series action.
A satin-brushed stainless slide with matte top reduces glare, while the black glass-filled nylon frame keeps weight manageable and grip dimensions slim. The design accepts earlier P90/P97 magazines, offering parts compatibility for long-time Ruger owners.
Safety features are extensive: ambidextrous manual safety/decocker, pivoting loaded chamber indicator, magazine disconnect, and an internal keyed lock. Together they provide both visual and mechanical safeguards without complicating operation.
The 4.2-inch stainless barrel uses a 1:16 RH twist for reliable stability with standard .45 ACP loads. Fixed three-dot sights—dovetailed front and drift-adjustable rear—deliver a clear sight picture that stays snag-free in a holster.
Produced from 2004 to 2013, the KP345PR saw fewer units than earlier P-Series models. Collectors value its place as the last Ruger metal-slide .45 auto, especially in well-preserved examples like this 2005 pistol.
