Any thoughts or experiences with the Ruger SR 9

[Guest failuredrill]

I've been interested in this gun since the article in guns and ammo and found that it seems to be a good conceal carry. The guy at the shop said it is dead accurate but the trigger pull sucks....anyother compliments or complaints.

I've heard that the trigger pull is quite good once the packing grease is cleaned out of it, and the trigger breaks in after a few range trips. I don't doubt it. Ruger seems to be getting on-the-ball with regard to useable defensive weapons.

I'd love to try one. My P89 is a tank. Not concealable, but it eats anything and always goes boom. Had it many years and it shows little wear.

Hopefully they'll get an SR9 at the range soon that I can try out.

I'd love to shoot one, everything I've read/heard is all positive. Handguns (mag) just did a 15,000rds torture test on it, and it passed with flying colors.

The price is right, depending where you check. (around here @$480 OTD). I would definately take a chance on one.

The guy in the lane next to me last night at the range had one. He liked his a lot, no problems, wished the trigger was a little smoother.

A few regular customers have picked them up and like them. I've heard basically the same thing from all of them--"Ruger is getting it right, finally."

Great capacity, okay trigger, I like the switchable backstrap . . . my one issue, having never shot one, is the position of the safety--easy enough to take off, but I found it too small to put back ON safe. Maybe it's just me.

Wouldn't mind shooting one, it seriously looks like Ruger made a viable concealed-carry gun that's not an SP-101.

My only beef, after reading a review, is that it has a safe mechanism that prevents it from firing without a magazine in the chamber.

You can't 'rack one round', eject magazine, aim and fire. So the article lead me to believe. That being said, I have no need for such a safety so I think its an extra that didn't need any design time. It also wouldn't keep me from buying the gun, as it wouldn't inhibit me from shooting as normal - I just don't always like unnecessary frills.

this seems like a good review

The article i read about it said the magazine disconnect safety is easily removed--a feature that Ruger apparently planned.

hey, that's really pretty cool - since it is a bit of an unneeded feature it was nice of them to make it changeable - though changing it would mean you aren't covered in the event of any type of misfire (if there is such a thing)

The firing-pin safety should still be functional, like any other modern pistol, even with the magazine disconnect removed.
