New Member here and wanted to say hello.

Purchased a brand new Ruger SR9C last week and have already had to send it back to Ruger to fix....

Read all great reviews on the SR9C and it being made in USA and great customer service, but the pistol continuously had failure to feed and trigger reset problems. Shot the pistol 300 times and ran 3 different manufactured ammo through it... Anyways, I have faith that Ruger will make it right. It was not a pistol I could rely on at all though at this point. Hope to have a better beginning with it when it returns.

I am somewhat new to shooting although years ago I did own many rifles and pistols (many to me at least). Pistols included a .22 revolver, a 357 revolver, a 45 stainless Taurus and a P89 Ruger 9mm. I did not have much time to shoot them in the past though and made the mistake of selling them all about 8-10 years ago. So I am starting back and hungry as ever to become a responsible carrying citizen.

I am also teaching my kids how to shoot (mainly rifles currently) but want them to be aware of them as much as possible.

I am going to take the Hangun Carry Permit class in 2 weeks and am looking forward to it. I think I will want to take some self defense classes also for the pistol.

IMO, It seems the world is getting worse and worse with crime and I want to protect my family not only at home but wherever we go.

More to come.

Thanks,

Newman

btw, if anyone lives in Christiana or Murfreesboro area and has any land to practice shooting, I would LOVE to hear from you.

Welcome I have faith Ruger will fix you up. Jut one of the pitfalls of mass production guns. It could happen to any of us.
