The 4.5-inch stainless steel barrel uses 6-groove, right-hand rifling with a 1:16 RH twist. The bore is bright and clean, matching the listed excellent condition. This setup is designed for consistent performance with standard .45 ACP loads.
Controls are well laid out and ambidextrous where it matters: manual thumb safety and magazine release on both sides, plus a trigger safety blade and a loaded chamber indicator. The grip includes a reversible backstrap to select a flat or arched feel. Sights are a 3-dot system with a white-dot front and a screw-adjustable rear for fine-tuning point of impact.
An integral accessory rail is molded into the dust cover with one cross-slot for compatible accessories. The pistol comes with three 10-round steel magazines and original factory literature and labeling, including the BSR45 catalog code on the case and dated Ruger rifling data confirming its 2013 production.
