Nope, it's not just you. It is a PERFECT fit for me as well, and I love shooting it with the 10 round mag as opposed to the 17 rounder. It just feels right.

I LOVE MY SR9C. Did I tell you I love it? Good shooter and feels great in my hand. I hated 9mm till I picked up this gun.

My buddy had just turned 21, and had gone shooting with me a few times, and as we were leaving the range at the Bass Pro Shop there, he decided that he wanted to have his own 9mm pistol that he could eventually carry one day. He had about $500 to spend and he smacked it down on an SR9c without really even knowing much about it. Long story short, he loves the thing and shoots very accurately with it. Hasnt had any problems yet either.

Absolutly no problems with mine. In fact, I've never had a problem with any of my Rugers going back to about 1981.

totally down for that trade !!!!!!!!!! PM and address i can send it to
any one else wanna trade ??? 10rd flat for a 10rd pinky ??
There's nothing wrong with a SR9C that a 40c won't fix 
. But seriously, as a .40 shooter, I too had not considered a 9 "too seriously" until I handled the "C." I'm still holding out for the 40c, but have heard very good things about the 9. If the .40 wasn't just 'round the corner I'd seriously consider the 9, just 'cause of the specific "c" platform. Otherwise I'd be on to the M&Pc.

Middle and ring finger fit perfectly on the grip with pinky under and no gap between fingers.
On a side note, the CCW class instructor I had and his son tried my 9c and both loved it. They also commented on how well the grip fit (had the 10 rd flat mag in).

Atleast you can recycle the plastic if it don't proform, sorry I don't care for plastic guns by personal choice.
I just put another 200 rds down range today without a problem. Great gun.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the reversible backstrap.
Having bought a Beretta 90 two first for my big hands, I reversed the backstrap on the SR9c and it seems to perfectly fit my hands now. The little gap the flat backstrap left made my aim not as precise. But after reversing it, the grip just seems natural every time I grab it. It takes me a second to get a situated grip on my Beretta whereas on the SR9c my hand just goes to that perfect spot first.
The accuracy may not be perfectly on par with the Beretta but it is very close. I'll give it the benefit of the doubt though since the Beretta is a full sized (5 inch barrel) versus the SR9c being a compact (3.5 inch barrel).

Bapple , mine was flat outta the box and i had to flip it just to see how it would feel. and i did not like it at all shaped out. the palm of my hand thats towards my thumb hit that raised area on the back strap and it just made my grip feel worse. i have short fingers as it is , i need all the help i can get haha
PS >>>>>>>>>>> anyone wanna trade there pinky extension for my flat off of the 10 rounder ??????
i got two flats id like to trade for pinkys
also the two extra mags i bought at purchase , ruger mags , seemed to have a nice glossy smooth finish. but the sping and follower in the mag seems veryyyy gritty like they are full of sand. the two mags that came with the gun have somewhat of a satin finish. the glossy ones seem to drop much easier than the satin and the ones that came with the gun are very smooth when loading, not gritty
just an observance , still love it !!

My SR9 sucked. It went back to the factory and has been flawless for my buddy who bought it. He recently put in the ghost trigger kit, and it certainly went up a notch in my book.
If you want the gun, buy it. If there's a problem, Ruger will fix it. This could happen with any gun, and the SR9 was released during Obamarama, and a lot of manufacturers were having quality problems with their guns - even Sig was having problems.
I think you could buy a new one today with confidence. Also, if that's the gun you like, there's not much else like it!

I have over 1700 flawless rounds through my SR9c. I give it a vote of confidence.
