    Shot my new SR40 today...

    congrats on the gun and the holster! I've not been able to get a ride to the range yet to shoot mine. I'm sooooo looking forward to it!! Can the CBST be rotated 180 degrees, or flipped around so you can wear it at the 5 pm position, or just above the wallet or Hip pocket? flipped around so...

    Want new sights for SR 40C need ideas and how 2s

    I do dig. Sure would hate to invest the cost of the sights PLUS another $50 - $80 to ahve them installed. I'd find out first though, of course. Maybe buy it/them from a dealer locally IF they'll install it/them. we'll see.... thanks. Good stuff.

    Goodbye, SR9

    I’d think at this point, and sooner most likely, it is a moot point if a super gets to view the gun or some other person does. Whomever! Big Deal! It really does not matter. The idea I’m sure behind the ‘super’ seeing it is to OK the exchange process to begin or complete. The hang up here as I...

    Want new sights for SR 40C need ideas and how 2s

    A punch huh? hmmm. luckily, my neighbor does all that sort of stuff on his own.... maybe I'll throw it on him. If you have seen the Big dot XS sights online... I like that idea. Actually, if they were a about the size of a BB or better up front.. maybe a sacchrin table or so, even better. My...

    Goodbye, SR9

    WEll, David... they sure should give you a new one after two trips back to the plant... menaing they've had 3 chances to get it right. It's getting into their pocket on the second trip back there not to mention the online negative pub they're enduring. That sure can't help. When I was in...

    Want new sights for SR 40C need ideas and how 2s

    thanks... the front post has to be done by a gunsmith? I've been wonering looking at it as to how it comes off without a saw. how are the Williams better or different from the Novak or XS sights?

    Want new sights for SR 40C need ideas and how 2s

    Hello Everybody! I really need bigger sights on my SR 40C I just bought. The Factory ones are pitifully too small for me. I'd like suggestions for replacement sights... primarily daytime or low light. I have a C5L laser for after dark. Are the XS Big Dots my only out? What does it take to...

    Goodbye, SR9

    Gee.. it's too bad entirely. I suppose you did all the things necessary to ensure the fault was mechanical, and not attributed to merely dirt or lack of lube, that it was cleaned out well, etc., sorry to hear if it indeed is the technical side. I'd suspect however it would be returned until it...

    Ruger SR 40 C - Help! 2 holsters required Tac & CC

    Hi everyone! I just got my new Ruger SR 40C and Viridian C5L, so I want to get dialed in and going with one house and range holster, and one holster for the wild and wooly civilized burgs and city’s around this great country of ours that I’m about to check out first hand. I’d really like to...

    Thinking of getting a P345

    My needs are a bit different than most. I'm very hard of seeing of late. I support the idea of training with a light or laser, A LOT! then carrying sans lights or lasers. however... with the right OTB holster, even the compact series could be carried with a laser. I sort of think the need for a...

    Thinking of getting a P345

    I got one a year or two ago as my first automatic pistol ever. My first handgun in 30 years! Now I have a Ruger SR 40 C on order and should have it this week sometime. I have to admit the 345 is a reliable gun. I’ve had only one round hang up on me failing to eject. That was in my first 25...

    SR9/SR9c/SR40 Modifications and Accessories

    is it OK to ask, or post things here on the compact series of these pistols? I see often, what is offered on the larger series has trickled down or up, to the compacts too. Perhaps you would want to add the Laser Max Genisis rechargeable green rail moutned laser to the list. Insight too makes...

    SR 9C Stainless Slide exchange or recovering

    gee. this was so easy it pains me no one knew it. ruger does not replace a ss slide with a non ss slide on the SR series pistols. Period. If one needs a different color slide than what they originally bought on their SR pistol, they better think along the lines of Ceracoateing it, or selling...

    SR 9C Stainless Slide exchange or recovering

    Hi... I'm buying a SR 9C w/SS slide. They're all out of the blued ones. I can get all blue/black in 40SW ONLY right now. No diff in price either way. OK... so now what? Can I order a replacement blue slide for this piece? should I think about having the SR 9C SS slide "coated" by some...

    I want to smooth things out a bit more via spring swap...?

    Mike J Thanks... got the security system and monitoring. Since the guns and sec system came on board there's been no more attempted break ins. Eliminating the 'diaper gang's' ability to steal Wy Fy with increased security levels/arrangements MUST HAVE made 'em mad and then they shot off the...
