My buddy contacted me several days ago and informed me he had found one of the new Ruger SR9C at his local dealer, they have just been released this month and are real hard to come by at this point. I reviewed the information at his request and told him it sounded like just what he had on his wish list, with a few things added that would be on my wish list.
After reading the information at the Ruger site it is obvious that this will be a very popular CCW pistol, it has a great deal of very positive features in my opinion and will allow someone to carry a firearm that will conceal well and have the advantage of the .9mm round for self defense. It seems lately that the .380 has become the darling of the CCW crowd, which is fine with me; however on its best day that caliber is just too marginal for me.
In all my years of carrying handguns it has been either the .44 Special or the .45ACP, with the improvement in cartridges today I could live with a .9mm but nothing smaller for sure.
If you get a chance take a look on the Ruger site and let me know what you think, I think unless something unforeseen shows up they have another winner on their hands.
