Ruger SR9

[6MT]

I'm looking at one of these in black. Anyone want to comment on reliability? Accuracy? Simplicity?

Great gun, zero issues with mine with all different types of ammo. A gun I would never sell.

Reliable and accurate. Only thing I've found with mine is it doesn't like anything lighter than 115gn rounds

Why?

No big complaints so far, ladies might have trouble with the strong slide spring.

 

[6MT]

Anyone comment on how it's performed with high (+1000) round counts?

 

[6MT]

And, any upgrades available (springs, triggers, etc..)?

I have one. I only comment on stuff that I own and use . The gun is exactly what they claim. It's narrow in the hand, the reversible backstrap does make a good difference. The trigger is their latest version and they really stepped up to the plate, I love it. The gun runs everything I throw at it. For the price point it is a no brainer. I have more expensive handguns but they are not any better than the SR9. You won't be disappointed.

There is a Ghost trigger upgrade that is very cheap and easy to do. Just Google Ghost Ultimate 3.5 trigger. And as for holsters ,there are lots of them that will work.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I agree, the price point is pretty good. I think I'll pick one up next month.

I have a copy of Guns and Ammo where they took a SR9 and ran over 12,000 rounds through it I a weekend. Not one single jam/failure. This review they did inspired me to buy the pistol on the first place.

 

[BigRed911]

I've had a handful of failure to ejects with light ammo (<20). Most likely its user error , but with 124 and 147gn I've never had an issue (even limp wristing it)

Glad this came up ,was thinking SR9 or M&P9 my next purchase.

I have a SR-9, for the price a decent gun. I like how it feels in my hand. If I had not purchased a CZ 85 Combat after, I would likely still be as thrilled with my SR-9 as when I first got it.

When I shoot my CZ I consistently with the same reloads as shot in my SR-9 shoot group sizes about 50% smaller. The CZ is head and shoulders better as far as accurracy for about $150 more than the SR-9.

Performance wise my SR-9 has been flawless, never had any kind of jam or stoppage so from that aspect it has been great

i picked one up and like it.
ive never had any problems with it. ive yet to have any failures with mine and im over 1k rounds down the pipe.
i like that its a smaller in the hand gun, or feels like it with the narrow frame.
compared to my glock or my M&P ill still pick my M&P over it, BUT - for the price you cant go wrong.
its the 9mm that i recommend to people when im asked.
inexpensive at under $500 and well built, what more can you ask for.
extra mags are plentiful and holsters are easily had.
ive got the stainless one and im really hankering to get the black one just for the nice look it has.

 

[6MT]

Under $500? Where? The cheapest I've found is $510.

9e is $459 at P&D
I got mine (sr9) at Frontier when the $ was better for $450. They are OK guns.....not great guns, but definitely OK for the price.

Yeah, I wouldn't opt for the 9e.

 

[Hitzy]

I'd prefer the 9E..... maybe you can buy my SR9 lol

I was going to buy a "toy" that caught my eye a while back. A Kel-Tec .22WMR pistol. But for north of $700, I'll buy the 9mm.
