    SR9 Recommended Ammunition

    I've shot Winchester WB and LOTS of Federal from Walmart at under $10 a box. Almost 1000 rounds total, and not a single problem.

    SR9C slide release

    My SR9 didn't work as a slide release until about 500 rounds, and some rough thumbs. Now, it's pretty smooth, and I've decided I will slingshot (to save any wear/tear on the slide)

    New member, New pistol permit, New SR9

    welcome to the forum! I also just purchased an SR9 a few weeks ago, and LOVE it. I've put 450 rounds through it, and have another 450 in the safe as soon as I find time to get back to the range. My trigger and slide were really stiff untill two trips to the range. That did wonders for...

    The latest on "slide-stop"/"release" con

    OK, so after posting this, I decided to try some exercises and see if I could get it to "release". At first I had to use a fair amount of pressure, but after 10 times, I'm able to release the slide with my thumb every time. Now, I can't decide if I should leave well enough alone, and just...

    The latest on "slide-stop"/"release" con

    My new SR9 (serial begins with 331) has a slide STOP, and will not RELEASE unless I slingshot. I noticed on yuutube that nutnfancy seems to use his as a slide release, and can chamber the round with just one hand. I too, am interested in being able to do this. If someone finds a fix, please...

    Walmart Ammo 9MM Luger

    just picked up 3 more boxes of Federal today. They had the UMC in .40, but not in 9mm. I hope they get some because they had a good price on the other caliber.\

    ammo prices

    I bought the 250 9mm from Dicks...it was Ultramax reloads, LEAD! Dumby me didn't notice until I got home. I fired every one of them this weekend through my brand new SR9, and EVERY one of them fired without issue. Unless you consider the smoke signals I was sending. To rapid fire 17 shots...

    SR9c range report - trigger reset update

    Don't do this often without the mag DC removed, otherwise you'll damage the striker
