Ruger SR9

iam1096 · 10-12-2009

If you have been on the fence about buying a Ruger SR9, buy it. I got one a PSS last week, shot 200 rounds threw it and love it. No problems at all and even with the trigger that is a little heavy. It was easy to shoot and recoil was not there. I bought one with the blackened stainless slide. Great little gun, I liked shooting it more than the Sig P228 I took with me.

Sounds great, thanks for the info.
Do you mind sharing how much you paid for it? And, what holster(s) you are using?

I have a stainless one on layaway at Ludco. I know I could have gotten a better deal at Plainfield (and the Bluffton shop), but Ludco is only 15 minutes away from me so the convenience won out especially since I wanted to do layaway and not make multiple 1 hour + drives to the other shops.

Paid $ 385.00 plus tax and using a leather holster that also fits S&W 4006 by safariland.

Ah the 4006...now you are bringing back memories. I carried that gun in the academy. Not a good memory of that boat anchor, metal shaving, bullet lobbing piece of crap. Sorry for the slightly OT response, I hadn't thought of that old piece in ages. As for the SR9, that is a great price for a reliable piece.

4006 was the gun our department whiched to years ago. Then we got glocks. Still have both of them but never fire the Smith anymore. Just a memory that i want to keep.
Had to buy one of the SR9's after reading and see good things about them. It now is my carry gun at home when I am doing wood working or yard work. I won't worry if it gets scratched. It will also become part of my collection of guns. I alway tell my wife " you can never have to many guns."

Damn....that's a great price, especially on the all black.

I almost wish I didn't ask. I will definitely drive out to Plainfield for future purchases.

Great choice ,I've had mine since Feb.09 shot 1000+ rounds Great Gun! I bought mine 21st century in Bluffton for $430.00 I have the stainless slide you have made a good choice.

Gotta say i really enjoy my SR9 as well. Ruger seems to put out some good guns for the $$$. Looking at adding a light/laser to the SR9 for home defense use. Also wouldn't mind picking up an LCP for easier carry at work.

I love my SR9. I've had it about a year and put about 500 rounds thru it. Only one jam, the second shot. I am attributing it to the operator, not the gun. I have the stainless one. Paid 420 Out the door. I would recommend it to anyone. I like it better than my Glock 19.
