Thanks everyone for the feedback and advice. Lots to check out now. Much appreciated

the general consensus was that my daughter was limp-wristing it - it only happened to her, not me, my wife or my son. She's only 16 yrs old, and had never fired a handgun before, so that makes sense. we had planned to go again to test that theory, but haven't been able to. I still like it - a lot

this may be in the wrong forum, but I'd like to know what you all recommend for buying ammo online? 9mm (I have an SR9E). target practice only, but I'd prefer brass over steel. Mainly interested in the lowest cost per round, but I'd also like to know from you all about any places to stay away...

Thanks everyone. I appreciate all the feedback, both good and bad. I haven't tested either magazine, but I plan to in the near future. they seem fine; a little lighter than the Ruger-branded one I got with the gun, but they loaded fine, and the spring action seems good. My boss is also a gun...

Hey all, any of you have any experience with spare magazines from a company called ProMag Industries? I just got 2 extra magazines for my SR9E. they look fine, and fit good. I haven't fired any rounds through them, though. Any comments, feedback, etc? they were only $16 each, so if they're...

Don't know what you were using, but when you get the chance, I'd recommend any of the Hornady loads. My particular favorite is the 135grn Critical Duty in my 9E for carry/home defense because of it's reliability, accuracy and terminal ballistics. If I'm just punching paper I'll use the...

Could also be ammo related. Try a different brand, weight, bullet style. I'd love to, but I've only got one brand at the moment

didn't look like it. when i brought it home a couple of days previously, we went through how to hold it, the slide mechanism, things like that, so I'm pretty sure she was holding it properly (but, I didn't actually take notice), just not very tightly. we'll know in the next day or so

I thought that might be a problem. i suspected that might be the issue with my daughter, since she'd never fired one (any handgun), but i was kinda surprised that it happened to my son. we've been shooting a few times before, and he's usually pretty solid with one. I plan to go shooting again...

Hi All Just picked up a Ruger SR9E - I like the gun (A LOT), and it was a great price. took it to the range, and it jammed a few times when my son and daughter fired it. Weird thing is, it never jammed on me, and i think it jammed once on my wife. the jamming was that the cartridge wasn't...

Nice gun.. I just purchased one myself, and I'm really happy with it. Took my wife and 2 kids shooting at a gun range. I had mixed results with it though. it jammed a few times, but I'll put something out to ask about that this is a better deal than the 9C, in my opinion. My wife preferred...
