Ruger: New York
built 657 days ago
On January 13, 1868, Union general George Meade appointed Ruger as Georgia's new provisional governor. His appointment followed the removal of elected governor Charles Jones Jenkins due to his withholding of funds for the 1867 constitutional convention. Ruger served more as a figurehead for carrying out Meade's wishes than as an executive authority. Although Ruger wielded very little power, he is noteworthy as being the last of Milledgeville's governors before the capital's removal to Atlanta in 1868.

The P345's compact size is a welcome new design for those who are familiar with the earlier bulky Ruger semi-autos. In the lower picture, the P345 is hidden underneath the Commander-sized S&W 1911 Scandium, and actually weighs a bit less.

The new .375 Ruger (left) beside the 95-year-old .375 H&H. Ballistically, the two are very similar, with the Ruger having a slight potential edge, but the Ruger fits into a shorter action.

The .375 H&H, left, with the new .375 Ruger. The new cartridge uses the same .532-inch rim diameter, but the belt is fatter and the body taper has slightly more case capacity even though, at 2 1/2 inches, it's .30 inch shorter.
