Arched--even with that my forefinger still runs about a 1/4-inch past the front of the trigger guard in the ready position.

SR9 loaded, round in chamber, safety on, in pistol safe w/4-button combination lock under bed directly under my head..can iopen and have finger on trigger in less than 5 seconds..and I'm a VERY light sleeper!

I've got both the Fobus HK-1 and the Serpa for my SR9. IMO the Serpa is far superior to the Fobus...I wouldn't recommend it s the best for concealed carry for the same reason the Fobus isn't good (prints too easily), but for open carry Serpa is far more secure than Fobus. Iv'e heard and read a...

I alternate between Hornady Critical Defense 115-grain and Corbon 115 +P JHP for defense, no problem feeding at all. Fot target practice I get the cheapest possible...brrn getting Federal 115-g at Wal-Mart for $10 for box of 50.

Soldiernut: I've been thinking about getting a .40 myself for awhile to augment my Ruger SR9 9mm (which has worked flawlessly for me in the 16 months I've owned it)...been to 4 different gun shops in this area and several gun shows and keep hearing the HK USP is an excellent .40 choice. Might...

I'm looking for something with finger grooves for the sides of the grip, not just the reversable backing. My hands sweat a lot and I've had the gun slip while shooting at the range if the weather is hot -- which it is right now in NC.

Any suggestions -- does Hogue make anything that will fit the R9?

Slide stop is very tough until recoil spring breaks in a little. Just keep shooting, should get looser after couple hundred rounds.

Natchez Shooters Supply usually carries some hollow point, though they may not have Winchester in stock...I personally prefer Cor-Bon 115g +P which you can order online from Dakota Ammo...have shot a box through my SR9 already with no problem.

You can keep ammo for years as long as it's kept cool and dry..so basically if you store inside at room temperature and humidity...I keep my spare ammo in a bedroom closet. if you keep it outside in a shed or garage you probably ought to check into plastic or metal surplus army ammo boxes(you...

I've got probably close to 2,000 rounds through mine and no problem shoting anything I've put thru it...my favorites for target shooting are WWB ($24 for a box of 100 at Walmart), Blazer CCI, American Eagle, Federal, S&B and Speer..I shoot 115-grain. For defensive purposes, my personal...

Thanks all for the tips....I think I'm gonna narrow my choices to the LCP and SR9c...

I'm an SR9 owner who is going for a CCW permit in 2 weeks...would love to use the SR9 as my primary carry weapon but it's just too bulky. Been researching several different guns as a CC choice and would like feedback on the following: SR9c LCP LCR Kel-Tec Springfield Taurus Don't want to spend...

I've got close to 1,300 rounds through mine, had two FTE's my first clip, mainly due to limpwristing. Not one problem since -- have shot Independence, Federal, American Eagle, CCI, S&B, WWB, Remington, Speer ammo, all 115g or 124g--also put Corbon JHP +P (which I highly recommend for SD--1,350...

Rhino: Blackhawk makes a Serpa CQC holster specificaly for the SR9 -- part # 410541BK-R. Runs about $40. Got mine 4 months ago, does great--comes with both paddle and belt loop options. Believe you can order directly thru Blackhawk or most gun outlets now. Fobus makes a variety of SR9-specific...
