No way, the gun only #### after cycled the slide, please remember you cannot dry fire without the mag in.

What seems to be the going rate for one of these? Our local shop brought in a couple & asking price is $599.
For that kinda money I'd rather spend a few bucks more & have a Glock 17.
NAA.
Here is a problem, this damn little gun is just about the most comfortable plastic gun to hold and is very well made, away from the heavy trigger ( still better than my G17) and barrel peening problem( have seen many time in the rugerforum.com). This gun should be a winner. I really hope that Ruger work out all the little bugs as soon as they can, for the money it is a great buy.

I don't enjoy the SR9 at all. Not just because Ruger hurt the firearms community but because it's a combat handgun with a horrible trigger that's meant for high-stress, close quarters (read inaccurate) shooting. You're not going to be knocking down steel plates at the 20m mark with this clunker or getting tight groupings at a distance. In fact I'm surprised to see the positive reviews of people comparing it to the G17. I mean, are you kidding? Do you just have something against Glock? When I saw the two tone version in a local shop I tried to put my bias against Ruger aside, citing that the 10-22 is so awesome that I just had to try the pistol.. I will go as far as saying I researched it, the features and really liked the look of the two tone. Once I had a chance to play with it a little and experiment what I found is for $600 the SR9 is not really a great pistol. It's just kind of lame to be frank. I'd rather by any number of other pistols used or put it towards something better for the same price like the G17, M&P9 or even a nice .22 pistol.
Relax brother, I didn't against your Glock because I have one and like it, I just said If Ruger work the bugs out, the SR9 will be a winner at this price. But I can let you can try my G17 stock trigger, it is not as nice as you can believe. It was way worse then SR9 at the first day I shot it, ofcourse now is better.

you can take out the magazine safety so you can shoot with no mag. Then you just rack and shoot.
I got to shoot one a couple of weeks back. Groups sweet as any gun I've shot. But the trigger pull feels like pulling on a bunch of rubber bands. If there was some trigger mods that could be done to lighten and make the pull more defined then I'd be all over an SR9.
I did have the magazine in and could not dry fire. Am I missing something? I put the magazine in with the training rounds in, cycled the rack so one of the rounds was in the chamber, round indicator was up, was able to pull the trigger once and then the trigger remained in the fired position and will not return to the to fire position until the rack is cycled again. I have done dry firing with another pistol before and once the magazine is in with a training round in the chamber it is good to go. The previous owner indicated the trigger recall work had been done on it what am I doing wrong?
Sounds like you're not doing anything wrong. What you want to do will only work on DA pistols. The Ruger is not a double action, and like a Glock or 1911, if you want to pull the trigger, you have to cycle the action.
Yes I know that with a 1911 you can just #### the hammer. You know what I mean!

The Ruger SR9 pistols sold through Ellwood Epps do not have a magazine safety installed. These guns can be fired or dry-fired without a magazine in place without modification.
I am curious how dry-firing with or without a magazine can have any variance on the durability of the striker? There is no correlation between a seated magazine and the travel of the striker, therefore there should be no correlation between wear or damage incurred with or without a magazine in place.
All striker-fired guns may be dry-fired with or without a magazine in place (depending upon whether or not a magazine safety is installed) without fear of damaging the firing pin. Of course we do not recommend repeated dry-firing on any firearm -- rifle or handgun. It would be advisable to purchase snap caps or keep a selection of fired brass to double as a dummy round rather than to repeatedly drop the striker on an empty chamber.
Note: if you are using the fired-brass method, it is strongly advised that you paint your brass or otherwise mark it some some way to differentiate "training" rounds from live ammunition and avoid a catastrophic mistake!
I removed my striker, took it apart, cut 1.5 coils off the spring, and put the whole deal back together again. I also did some polishing of the contact points in the "drive train". Made the world of difference in mine. I've heard from other people who tried it too (and got the idea from me I don't mind saying) that had similar results. YMMV of course, but I've had zero problems with feeding, firing, or extracting since doing this.
While the striker is out is the time to remove the magazine link/striker block thing. I did that too.

It states this in the owners manual... Can't tell you word for word but it says never dry fire without the magazine in the gun.
Ruger advise that the gun cannot dryfire without the mag inserted, I think it will be related to the damage of the striker?

Sig sp 2022 is a very nice gun with DA and DA only trigger. A lot of good reviews and is inexpensive, the Canadian verson has a longer barrel. Well worth take a look.
