Yeah, I understand what you are saying, REV ..... I spoke with Julian at Ruger-Tech. He told me to do what you are talking about. Sit there watching the TV and rack the slide just a bit.
Well, I spent 2 nights doing so. I did so maybe 800 times over the 2 night period. End result? Nada...
I have quite a few semi-auto handguns.
I can drop an empty mag, pop in a fresh magazine, thumb the slide release and shoot without racking the slide.
I cannot do this with the SR9c.
I'm selling my SR9c. I can't wait several more hundred rounds for the slide stop lever to 'free up' a bit.
I'll take $300 plus what ever overnight shipping is to a FFL dealer. Of course, the gun can't go to CA, HI, MA, NJ, or NY. But, you know this.
kscott ... it is good to know that the slide stop lever improves (a bit). But, who makes a gun that isn't good to go right out of the box?
I'd hate to buy a new Mustang and have to drive it 10,000 miles before the manual transmission 'broke in' so I could shift it effortlessly.
I still...
I purchased my SR9c last week and took it to the LGS where I bought it to shoot today.
I rented a lane for an hour and hooked up the target at the closest allowable distance which is about 7.5 meters +/-. BTW, I also have a full size SR9 that I got a couple years ago. It's my 'night stand...
I hate to sound stupid ... perhaps I am .... but, I've seen this "peening" issue on several Ruger forums.
What exactly should I be looking for in my SR9 to see if peening is a problem for me?
Thanx.
