GunnyGene said:Pretend I'm a 68 yo woman with rather small hands and arthritis and considering getting a 9mm compact pistol. There's a lot to like about the SR9C, including the ability to use 17rd mags. I'd like to know of any negative issues (feed, extract, finish, etc.) anyone has experienced with the SR9C, as well as opinion regarding carry, racking the slide, and felt recoil.
Would the SR9C be a suitable carry gun for me?
I have a sr9c and it has a fairly stiff recoil spring. I forget what the rating is exactly, but it is stiffer than my Glock 20 w the 22lb spring (at least it feels it to me).
Kick is a bit snappy.
I would say look at the walther pk380 as an alternative.
Its hard to make a good recommendation without knowing the person firsthand.
