Does Ruger know about Glock?


I like how it doesn't come in .40 flavor.

A little late to the party but at least they are there.

[daschnoz]

Oh look, an ugly Glock XD.

[dkf]

So they made a more tacticool looking version of the SR9?

[Emptymag]

Rather than insult it based on nothing more than a photograph, I'll see what actual owners have to say about it.

It looks "busy", but doesn't look much different than any other modern polymer handgun.

I'm always happy to see new firearms. Better than not seeing any new products.

0 glock appearance, however 50% SR9 mated to a S&W 9VE

The grip looks like it is slimmer. Good for those with less than large hands. That was the main reason I went with an M&P when I purchased it was they where the only one on the market with such a feature at the time.

Buts its two new to market for me. By the time I got my M&P it had been out for a while and had a positive reputation among LEO agencies & the public.

Whats this have that SR series guns don't?
Whats this have that Glock/M&P don't have?

[Pilot321]

Yuck. Did the Russians design this or something?

Actually, the Grach is better looking.
