Morning , Does anybody have any experience
with The SR9c?
Reason being the gun comes with supposedly
a good trigger and Ambi safety.
I'm gonna give semi's one more try if I read
good reviews on this CCW.
Thanks you

    I shot the SR9C today. A fine gun
    once you get used to the trigger
    and I can hit targets with it as well.
    Intimidation factor 4.
    I just wonder how durable it is?

    So, I go out and trade my G26 in for
    an SR9c and shoot it,not bad but
    I kind of thought the trigger was a bit gritty.
    I tell my buddy (he has one) and he says you have to
    clean all the gunk out of it and oil it.
    "There's a ton of gunk in there"
    Ok, I tear the whole thing down ,clean all the gunk
    (which was minimal) out and reassemble it.
    Now this goes against my grain.
    When ever I buy a gun used or new I swabb the barrel
    and shoot the hell out of it.
    Not this time, I take it ALL apart clean it, put it back together and it don't release the striker when I pull the trigger.
    I repeated this 4 times, no luck,even the trigger is messed up.
    Called Ruger ,got a shipping label and out it
    goes Monday.
    When I get it back I'm gonna trade it in for
    another Glock 26.
    How can one pistol be so reliable and a snap to completely
    strip but another be a freekin nightmare?
    Glock forever!!!!

    Just disassembled the slide on a Ruger SR9C(compact) that's a range rental here with over 8000 rounds through it. Slide was filled with brass shavings inside the striker tunnel but the gun never missed a lick. These have been really good guns. Come with a 10 round and a 17 round mag and seem to fit most folks hands well. If you're looking for a good plastic pistol that runs as well as Glocks but with manual safety and better ergonomics, you should try one of these. Comes in .40 as well.

    rong,

    My father has put around 2,500 rounds through his SR-9 so far. Some +p, some +p+, mostly standard loads. It is holding up great.

    My brother has the SR-40c and it also is holding up great, but only at around 400-500 rounds from his estimate.

    I am holding out to get an SR-45 when one becomes available around here....or maybe even wait until they introduce the SR-45c.

    Got about a 1000 rounds through my SR9 (not a "C"). Not a single problem so far.

    Good deal! I think you will really like it. Like I mentioned in the previous thread, just remember to disassemble and clean all the cosmoline off real good if you buy new.
