Ruger SR9 pistol: Gunning for the Glock, Part 1

UPDATE 9/2010: One sample failed reliability tests in my new "Trench Warfare" Handgun Drill. Repeated failures to go into battery. Gun was fresh from box, no cleaning and no lubrication however after cleaning it still continued. Gun was sent to Ruger for repair.
PART 1 of 3:
I dig the Ruger SR9 pistol. Its another high-value 9mm handgun that seems to give up nothing for its affordable price. My shooting of the SR9 in my Tactical Clinic showed it be a reliable, accurate (even at 100yds!), fast shooting, FUN, and comfortable pistol. When compared against the Nutnfancy standard of 9mm pisitols, the Glock 17, the SR9 does win in the value category but admittedly does come is second in several other categories. But the margins of victory for the Glock 17 against the SR9 are small indeed and with most users, these differences could be negligible. Other uppsides for the SR9 include lightweight carry (27 oz), interchangeable backstrap, well-placed controls, crisp trigger, great sights, sturdiness, good simplicity, high firepower (17 rds!), a chamber indicator (forgot to mention that), and a variety of available finishes. It might be awhile until the accessories market, such as holsters and night sight options, catch up to this Ruger pistol (2008). But the SR9 is selling extremely well and I predict the market will catch up and your accessorizing options will increase. And yes, its too early to tell what kind of track record the Ruger SR9 will establish but I suspect that will be an excellent, equal to much more expensive and established designs. If youre a civilian sheepdog, or law enforcement officer buying your own gun, I would put the Ruger SR9 high on my list of defensive pistol candidates. Nutnfancy Likeability Scale: 9 out of 10

Dude, I just bought an SR40c, I am very impressed, you should get your hands on one and put it through the paces!

[Eatnbullets]

I am at 10000 rounds through my sr9 no mods no spring replacement and 4 miss feeds. Shofar berry reliable.

I work at a gun store....sell these things all the time. It's not even worth comparing the SR9 to a Glock, let alone making a title stating that it is "Gunning for the Glock". There are some options to the Glock that are better for the same price as a Glock, but this isn't it.

[recordmanful]

I won't buy a new Ruger because they supported 11+ magazine ban, they are good guns, what a shame.

[juiceman616]

[poloblueboy]
