With regards to single action/double action only. USPSA and IDPA take their designations from the BATF. The BATF designations are not right, but they are what they are. Glock, M&P, SR9 are considered double action only. Trigger pull moves the sear a little bit to release the striker, hence...

Verndog: You need to find a different range boy. All Kahrs have a molded in ss rail insert, similar to every other polymer. The bottom front rail insert takes most of the abuse, the top rear insert takes the rest of the abuse. Maybe he is lubing the polymer!?! This is not a 100,000 round...

I have had a Kahr PM9 since January 2006 for a total of 2526 rounds with two fail to feeds, both with 147 gr factory ammo. I have had a Kahr P9 (Crimson, my edc) since January 2009 for a total of 1860 rounds with 2 light primer strikes, both on reloads. Kahr reliability is great. They had...

Thanks ConradM for posting that. Unreal. Was the officer justified by shooting him in the back? Absoulutely. In Michigan, if you consider a person a threat to others, or a rape is in progress, you are justified, the "gray area" of the law. If a guy with a .41 magnum, shooting point blank at an...

WVRifelman - Awesome job on the research, and thank you. It makes perfect ATF sense to not re-issue a serial number but that is not what I was told. My paperwork from Ruger said a "new gun" after the full auto incident (originally posted here). Did Ruger snow me? Now I am a little ticked off...

Rifleman - I have wondered about the replacement serial number also. But I have the paperwork and it said a new gun. The Ruger tech I spoke to said they would restamp a serial number on a new frame. Had I to do over again, I would have marked the frame inside the magwell to verify a complete...

Just for the record, I am not flaming the SR9. I have even considered the SR9C, but at this time I have enough small carry guns. The reason I did not post this video 9 months ago, is I did not want to flame the SR9 platform before the bugs were worked out. The Jennings episode got me going...

I figured this would turn into some kind of flame on me. You can always count on some uninformed and immature remarks generated constantly on this forum by "The Cheesewhiz". As far as safety, my pole barn window, backing up to a sunken shooting pit, on 10 acres backing up to 260 state acres and...

I haven't posted to this forum in a while, because I gave up on my SR9 and got another M&P. I read, chuckling a little, about the Jennings possibly running full auto at the Florida range. Think it can't happen to you, just check out the video link below. After the trigger recall (which...

turbodubah has the only sensible saying: Gunproof your family. There is no way to keep your guns out of the reach of kiddys and wife. A gun safe is nice, but the FBI stats indicate an average 3.2 shots in 3 seconds for undercover shoots. No, that is not indicative of a house encounter, but...

Call Ruger, order 2-3 trigger bar lift springs, and possibly a trigger bar reset. Pay for them, they can't be more than a couple of dollars. This is the weak spot in the SR9, when you really look at how the lift bar operates, you will understand why the spring is so important. I have had...

The video Mike7 is talking about is mine. My SR9 #1 when full auto several times after the recall and after 2 trips back to the factory. Also, continuing trigger reset failures. They finally issued me a new gun after I kindly provided the dvd video. According to my detailed maintenance logs...

Traverse City, MI, Wal Mart has not had any handgun ammo in a month. The drought is not over. Fortunately, a local gun range bought a press and has everything you want, but at inflated (or now normal) prices. Gander, I will not buy another item, fishing/hunting/clothing from them. Their...

Scott: I had some the exact same problem with my SR9 (among others) after I got it back from the trigger recall in Sept. I had 2400 flawless rounds up to the recall. A round would chamber, and the trigger did not reset, pushing forward on the trigger did not help. Sent it back to Ruger in...
