Decent pistol a Ruger. if you want the best than get a SIG Sauer P220. While the Ruger 45s are a big improvement over their 9mm they've got a long way before they match the smooth and crisp DA/SA pulls of a SIG Sauer.

So many pistols, so little money.
I just purchased a FireStorm (Formerly known as Llama). It was $300 for a dual-tone (chrome and black) and it accpets the 1911 mags. Friends of mine that have had Llamas in the past have had no problems whatsoever.
The Ruger p97 has alot of nice features and is a bargain at a little over $350.
If it were my money, I would save a little longer and buy the P220. I ran across a slightly used older model (spur type hammer)last weekend at a gun show for $450 out the door. If I had the cash I could probably have taken it for $425, and maybe $400 (it was a slow weekend dealers complained, the BC computers were down )
That's not a big difference in price.
I already put my favorite bargain as a Sig220 for $550 and the best bargain at any price is the Ruger p97. Forgot to mention how sweet it was to shoot a Taurus 945. Almost like a Sig. Hey my wife loves Sigs and she doesn't shoot much.
