Review of my Ruger SR9

[mpi]

i have one, the two tone full size one, and love it. It shoots well, is reliable and fits my hand well. I got it in LNIB condition for $325! I'm saving up for one of the compact models too!

the only real gripe i have with it is the loaded chamber indicator. It's like a semaphore flag sticking up out of the slide! really hurts the aesthetics of the gun. it's also visible to others, probably not a problem, but it does tickle the "what if" monkey living in the back of my head.

I love my SR9c. Black on black, which I like, mostly for aesthetics, but I like it enough that it's my carry gun. Went in looking for a Glock, came out with one of these.Haven't looked back once.

The only problem I noticed with the SR9c is that it has a massive recoil when compared to the SR9. I think this is because I have large hands and a weak pinky, so the mag extension floorplate doesn't help me as much as it helps others. I've never had a problem with the loaded chamber indicator either, as it's angled so that it doesn't catch on my holster.

not so sure that they corrected the peening issue with this gun. i still read on the ruger forums that the issue is still present, that has been whats been holding me back on getting one.

Bought myself a black-on-black SR9 a couple weeks ago, have been very happy with it. Only about 600 rounds through it so far though.

It just fits really nicely into my hand and feels like it belongs there. I bought it because I needed something to carry while my .45 is in for repair, and I wanted to add a 9mm to my collection. It carries very nicely as well.

Get out and buy one
Have over 2500 rounds through mine since Jan this year, no "peening" and has not missed a beat, by far my favorite gun, just so sweet to shoot well

I wouldn't be too concerned about it. My SR9c has had about 4000 rounds through it, and I didn't even notice any peening until I went and looked for it just now. There is a barely visible edge on one of the barrel flanges, and one that's not visible to the naked eye on the front of the hood. Rather than typical peening, it feels more like the edge was sharpened. This hasn't caused any operation error. And let me be frank: I abuse this gun more than I'd like to admit.

I've had 15 failures to fire, and one failure to eject with this gun over its entire lifetime. The FTE was user error. Six FTFs were faulty primers (I pulled the primer and found no anvil) and 9 were legitimate light-primer strikes. These last 9 can likely be attributed to buildup in the gun, as they occurred somewhere about round 220 in last week's "extended range time". We'll find out if the gunk I scraped off the striker fixed that the next time I take it out.

It fits in my hand better than a Glock, conceals as well as any compact, and points as naturally as a finger. Based solely on my own experience, I'd suggest it.
