AFAIK, the only "extra crap" the SR9 has is the loaded chamber indicator, the adjustable rear sight and a second magazine. The first isn't essential but the second and third items are really nice to have.RonnyJ said:Dont have all the extra crap that's on the sr9.
my #1 wish, Ruger 10mm.jammer said:sure wish they made a sr40e.. and while theyre at it they can get on to making my sr10mm too! :mrgreen:
FergusonTO35 said:FYI, the S&W SD9 and SD40 costs the same, is stainless, has no LCI or mag safety, and comes with two mags for the same price. Just sayin'!
GKC said:I just bought a 9E and the trigger on it is really nice. I don't have a trigger pull gauge, but the "booger hook" test says it's about 5.5 pounds, and smooth. I like this pistol better than the SR9, because it doesn't have the LCI, and I actually like the slide serrations better. I ordered a two-pack of 17 round mags from Grabagun for $38 and it's still cheaper than the SR9, plus I end up with one more mag.
The slide cover plate is different than the other SR models I've owned...no spring hole. I'll need to tinker with it, but I'm sure there is a way to remove it (the mag disconnect is coming out, plus I like to clean out the striker channel periodically.)
I haven't shot it yet, but so far, I'm happy with this purchase!

Thanks! I'll give that a try.
GunnyGene said:Let me correct that. There's a very tiny notch inside the plate hole at the 6 'oclock position. That's were you want to insert your paperclip punch. The slide plate will drop down a bit when you push in. You won't need the paperclip to reinstall, just hold the striker in and slide the plate up over it.

Well, I got it off before I read you amended instruction. I was trying to push in the striker (I had already released the mag disconnect and striker block) without much success, using a very small punch. At one point, the plate suddenly released, so I must have inadvertently contacted the retention ring, or whatever it's called...I took out the mag disconnect and reassembled the slide. I didn't clean it, since I had some errands to run, but I will tomorrow (or later today, now) and I will pay close attention to what I am doing.
Thanks!

Hey, no problem! After I read your post, I got out my flashlight and looked, and I can see the little notch at 6 o'clock...it really is tiny! Thanks for the tip.
I always read the user manual as a last resort, so you saved me from that! :lol:
