SR9

[Guest seawolf138]

I'm considering picking up an SR9, but I can't seem to find any around town, and I'm not real big on buying a gun that I can't at least hold before I drop the cash. Wondering if anyone would be willing to meet me at coal creek or The Gunny or really anywhere around Knoxville, so I could shoot or even just hold it and dry fire to see how it felt. If someone is willing to let me shoot theirs I will be more than happy to provide my own ammo and an extra box for your trouble (range fees on me of course).

Ruger SR9 9MM 17R Stainless $398.00 SHIPS FREE

There is a 3% credit card fee. It generally takes 2 days to ship and in some cases a single day. I have ordered on a Monday morning and picked the gun up Tusday evening.

Then have Bud's send it to:

On Target Training Center, Inc.

101 East Inskip Drive, Knoxville, TN (865) 242-4665

He charges $20 for the transfer and $10 for the TICS.

Everything said and done it will be under $440.

I know you want to try the SR9, but I've got the SR9c with the 17-rd extended that might give you some idea? I could meet up at CCA since I have a pass already but could do Gunny's as well on your dime (did my CCW class there). Just thought I'd offer.

Ditto to Dolomite_supafly's info--I got my SR9c from Bill's in Maryville/Alcoa last year but have used Bud's several times, and Doug at On Target is great. Send me a PM if interested.

[Guest seawolf138]

Thanks for the responses. I will definitely check out Bud's when I decide whether or not I'm going to get it. I've not fired a SR9c, but I have held them, and though I like them, they don't fit my hand quite the way I want. On a side note, I just found out a friend of mine bought an SR9 last week, so please disregard my previous request. But again, thank you for the info.

Coal Creek has an SR9 rental... Coal Creek Armory Indoor Shooting Range

I believe that any rental/range fees are deducted from the price if you buy one.... ie, trying one is free if you buy it.

[Guest seawolf138]

I was in there yesterday, didn't see it in the rental case. Guess someone else had it.

[Guest Roadkill Bill]

I'm quite happy with mine. I bought it to shoot cheap Russian ammo, and it has turned out to be very accurate and has not had a single FTF.

I'm sort of uncomfortable on how much an evangelist for the SR9c I've become.

It's like I'm a brand new christian.

"SERIOUSLY, GUYS! HAVE YOU HEARD THE GOOD NEWS ABOUT THE SR9c????????????????"

It simply is the snappiest gun I've ever fired.

Except maybe the Uzi. But, that was a different breed of snap.

[Guest seawolf138]

I haven't been out to On Target either, but according to their website they do sell New and Used, so apparently yes, they are a full shop with range and rentals.

Dolomite can chime in here as well--last I was there Doug had a smaller inventory but had a wide range of accessories and ammo as well. And I'm sure he'd order anything you wanted just like all the other LGS. I always end up walking out with something even if I'm doing a transfer. Consider me an SR9c evangelist, too--ha! I won't have crazy hair and ask for money, though (oops, did I say that out loud?)...

I'm going to have to agree here. This was my second gun purchase and it hasn't failed on me yet. A great gun for a Great price. I bought mine used for around 370 bucks. No FTF in 300+ rds that I've shot through it.

[Guest dubaholic2]

i appreciate the info

[Dolomite_supafly]

On Target was a full time shop but with the economy he has cut his hours back to 5pm-7pm M-F. I am not sure of his hours on Saturday. In his shop as well as at the shows he has about a dozen or so handguns and generally 1/2 that in rifles. He is a decent guy to deal with and he has done may last few transfers.

He also does HCP classes as well.
