ruger sr9

[leadchucker62]

good day all:
i just purchased my first restricted firearm,a ruger sr9, as my first gun for idpa shooting.
can anyone tell me anything about this firearm.ie reliability, accuracy, etc
i like the small grip profile,so that both me and my wife can shoot it.

any input is greatly appreciated.

thanks Z

They are reasonably accurate and fairly reliable. I have only used one but am not a long term owner so one such can provide better input.

These really are the sorts of questions and research that should be done before purchasing.

shouldn't you have looked into it before you bought it?

shouldn't you have looked into it before you bought it?

What? And have another "What should I buy" thread???

I'm thinking of grabbing one now that the bugs seem to be ironed out.

My wife loves hers. It's a little small for my hands but I love how it shoots. Accurate, zero problems, eats any 9mm cartridges.

I would suggest removing the magazine safety and do a polish on the internals to smooth out the trigger. A Ghost trigger bar may be on your want list as well. Check out the Ruger forums for some great walk throughs on this little shooter.

For the price it's a great gun.

wouldn't it suck to learn that it's not IDPA legal? or that the mods that are required to make it a good gun take it out of IDPA?

ps - should have bought a DE44! or a S&W 629.

Local dealer is supposedly getting some in with OD green frames. If the price is right I might consider one just for the heck of it.

NAA.
