i just bought a ruger sr9, i have put an hundred rounds through it so far and i love the gun. the problem with the "firing when dropped" was only one in every one hundred guns or something, and the recall parts are similar to what sig sauer already puts on thier guns as well. so i am happy with my purchase and for my first handgun i think this one is a sweet pistol for the money i spent ($650, canadian). i really dont even think there would have been any way possible for this thing to have gone off by dropping it, it has a long trigger pull before it would release and the part they added only makes sure the trigger cannot go back unless a finger is on the trigger, i personally think they were just trying to improve the safety features of an already great gun.
