Forums / Gun Discussion / Ruger SR9

The introduction of the SR9 has been similar to the intro of the first Glocks, problems not withstanding. Mose either hated or loved em, I wouldnt buy a Glock for years cause they were plastic, well some 20 Glocks later I am sold on em. I bought my SR9 a few weeks ago, great ergonomics, much better than Glock and I own alot of Glocks. Its the bore axis and the slimness of the grip. I havent had any issues after 400 rds. Eats whatever you feed it. There were initial issues with the pistol, none of which I ever experienced but it seems they have worked those out.
I keep hearing people say, its a copy of a Glock, which it is, but so far its an improvement. Lets face it, Glocks are fugly pistols, the SR9 is a sharp gun, of course in the final analysis it must go bang, and the Glock does that well, but so far so does the SR9. Time will tell, I think its destined to be a great gun. I know I can trust my Glocks, every one of them. I now have a new one to trust, the SR9.
I love the Ambi Safety, the thin frame, the greater slide rail support and the low bore axis though I could do without the ambi mag release. I dont think its needed and I have modified mine by removing the right side of it.
After years of smithing on Glocks the internals of the SR9 are familiar indeed, feels sturdier than a Glock as well. Beefier somehow.
Anyway, I like the SR9 alot, time will tell if I fall in love with it as I have my Glocks.
