played with SR9 today...

And I'm sad to report that its not as good as I was expected.
While really nice looking gun with polished flats and stuff, overall feeling I got was
"gritchy".

Everything felt gritchy. Pulling slide back, it felt as something is dragging on slide(which is not ambi), Slide release was hard to pushdown, when slide returend to battery, it felt as if something is dragging on it.
Ambi mag release is hard to work - I use my my right hand middle finger to release the mag(except those that I can't), and it would not budge with my middle finger pushing it. Its really stiff. and when I try to push the release with my thumb from left side of gun, it was sooo stiff that I needed to brake my grip to push. No good.

Its small safety is really odd. Its almost as it was after thought. Being small is not big deal - FNP pistol have small safety lever, but its smooth and easy to operate. But on SR9, it felt like everything else - Gritchy, and stiff. And I had to brake my grip to operate it.
again, not good.

Then the trigger.....without doubt, its one of the worst trigger I've ever felt!
Its heavy(felt like its may be about 7+lb), feel cheap, gritchy, and hard to tell when its gonna brake.
I hate Glock trigger feel. But in comparason to SR9, Glock trigger feel like finely tuned perfection. SR9's trigger kept making me think I'm playing with my old Daisy RedRider BB gun. But worse.

It does, however fits my hand nicely. Its thinner then my M&P. Its easy to take good shooting position. And its light.
Prolly great for CCW, if your have no plan to ever use it.

overall, very dissappinting gun. it feel like Ruger rushed it in to production, and did not spend enough time perfecting it.
I had high hope for this gun as possible CCW. It may shoot good. But I could not see myself spending $450 for it. or even $300 on used one. let alone trusting my life with it

I checked them out, and I have to agree with everything you said, except for the trigger, the one I played with felt half decent, but I'd still rather buy an M&P or a Glock.
