New owner
Just purchased my first gun, a Ruger SR9C. I tried out a full size SR9 at the range and loved it. I'm sure the c version will be just as good.
A few questions. I'm planning on using this as an every day carry (I do have a LTC)
1. Is there anything special to do with a new out of the box gun? I do plan on getting a cleaning kit. Im pretty hung up on maintenance.
2. I'm looking for a good conceal iwb holster. I bought a cheap nylon pouch type but I'm a bigger guy and it needs to sit lower on my waist.
Thanks!

1. Shoot it. Send a couple hundred rounds down range to get it broke in.
2. Crossbreed Supertuck. http://www.crossbreedholsters.com/

Re: New owner
Clean the packing grease first. SR9c are known to do light primer strikes if grease are not removed.

Re: New owner
Clean it real good.
Practice with it before you start carrying it.

Re: New owner
Like others have said, make sure you clean the firearm first.
Then, practice with it before carrying. I say this both so you know the firearm you are carrying, and also to work out any hickups with the firearm.

Re: New owner
I sent a little over 100 rounds down range this morning and love the gun. Took me about a dozen shots to really get dialed in. Very comfortable in my hand. Carved out a few bulls eyes too.
I do need to get some more mags so I don't spend all my time reloading at the range.
I've read good things about the super tuck. Thanks for all the input!

Re: New owner
Get yourself some dummy rounds to use when practicing your holstering.
Do not use a loaded gun to practice, at least not until you are more accustomed to it.
