I'm thinking about getting one. I would like to hear the pros and cons on it. Also, what is the trigger pull weight. Thanks!

Well, IMHO, it is hard to beat for the money. I have one that has had quite a few rounds through it with no problems. I like that it doesn't have the goofy loaded chamber indicator like the SR9. The only thing I did to mine was buy some Talon grips and put on it. (The Talon grips are awesome, by the way, have them on my P95 too!) I don't have a trigger pull scale, but the trigger pull is very similar to most striker fired guns, Glock, Springfield, etc.

Had mine for a little over a year, maybe 400 rounds downrange of a wide variety of ammo, including cheap alum Blazer and high priced Hornady and several in between. Prefer the Hornady 135gr Critical Duty ammo over any of the others I tried out. Never had a single problem. When I first got it I ran 3 full mags (52 rds )as fast as I could pull the trigger, and not one hiccup - got pretty hot tho :lol:

Trigger isn't terrible (around 5lbs), but it's not competition quality either. Can be improved a bit by removing the magazine disconnect. That said, it's intended as a inexpensive carry gun for folks who like a full size, large cap 9mm. And I do carry mine fairly often, I trust it to perform. :)

Thank you hittman, and to all the others that replied. Looks like I'm getting an 9E.

I bought one a few month back finally took it out last weekend put 450 down range only thing I can say is buy the mag loader and save your thumb. What a great pistol for the money.

I have the UpLula loader, and I'd recommend it over the Ruger loader. A little more $$ but worth it, and it works with several calibers.

Best advice for anyone with any 9mm, .40 or .45 autoloader and even some .380's, single or double stack. Worth every penny.
