UPDATE: I pulled the trigger and got MY BABY!!! Here she is with her older brother the .44 Mag (Ignore the purple bodybuilder weight set to hold it)

I've not had the opportunity to handle the SR9, I typically shy away from the women's firearms [LOL]

I do have a KP944, which is the Full metal frame P Series .40 S&W.

its a tank

Hits what I Shoot at not counting shooter error. Works as a melee weapon when you run out.

Most of the ill-will towards Ruger stems from past political stances and the fact that, well, they ain't pretty.

I recently lost a retainer clip, called Ruger to order another one. They sent me 3 for free... Overnight.
+1 Customer service

its not a custom Colt, But its not a hi-point either
I trust it as much as I trust my Springfield.

hope this helps

Have to agree with Byte. My first pistol was a P95, the compact, polymer frame 9mm. it ain't pretty and it ain't fancy, but it works. I had mine for 3 years and about 2500 rounds, and I don't remember it ever missing a beat. I'd definitely rate it above a Hi-Point or Kel-Tec.

[WellHungSmurf]

Thanks for the quick replies. I figured it would follow this order prob

1)Colt
2)Springfield
3)Glock
4)Ruger
5)Kel-Tec
6)Hi point

I have heard they don't have a "warranty" But their customer service is amazing and they fix for free in most cases like Byte said..

Thanks for the input more is welcomed

their customer service is G-VG consistently. While some of the older handguns are not as comfortable as their newer product line is. They are tanks that will digest anything short of a flat nose lead hollow point YMMV.
I was just looking at the newer 9mm you inquired about. overall it is a nice looking and fitting gun. How it does in real time i am not aware of.
Not that they are on your inquiry list, however i doubt any board member is lacking one of their 10/22 or semi 22's in the safe.

The only Ruger I have ever owned is the LCP. Very nice back up pistol. Fit and finish is top notch. I have not had a single problem with it. I am so impressed with it that I am thinking about a Ruger 357 revolver.

where did you see the LC9 I really want to get one but can't find one anywhere.

Honestly, I had an all day adventure of gun shops today and I forget which one it was. It was only a display model, they have some ordered just on backorder. I may wait for the LC9 or go ahead and grab the SR9c

[Krasni]

SR9c better all around handgun, LC9 better for conceal carry. Prices on LC9's have come down a good bit since release, don't overpay.

Ballpark prices should be SR9c $400, LC9 $350.

[BPTactical]

Although I have not shot a SR9 I have monkeyed with a couple and at least ergonomically Ruger got the SR9 right. The P series such as the P89 were just pigs in the hand. They also had a neat trick of launching the slide on high round count pistols.
Ruger builds a good firearm, over engineered if anything. If you have a Blackhawk or Vaquero you always have a jack handle.
Excellent service from the factory as well.

so I am the only who always ended up with an extra part or two when I put back together a ruger?

Yes, you are probably the only one I know of that would come up with extra pieces after completing a wooden 50 states children's puzzle.

There was one at specialty sports in the springs yesterday. They wanted $389. It felt real good but wasn't too impressed with the external safety. They made it flip from the rear of it, so the opposite of every pistol I have ever shot/owned with an external safety. It was real comfortable in the hand. I might still prefer the kel-tec PF-9 over it though.
