Just want to say thanks Josh for your great how-to's on the SR9. I installed a new aluminum striker indicator and stainless mag release from Galloway last night and couldn't have done it so easily without your posts.

I log all of my rounds as well, nice to see I'm not the only one. I agree I don't want to find I need a new spring the hard way either since my SR9 is my nightstand gun. I'll have to buy a spare and start paying more attention to how it's cycling. I checked out galloway's website and it looks...

Sorry if this has been answered before but several searches yielded no easy to find results. Can anyone advise on recommended timing to change the recoil spring in my SR9? I've got 1500 rounds through it and wonder when I should think about a new one. Thanks!

Great discussion, thanks all. Checking prices I see 45 colt can be expensive and a little hard to find. I'm not ready to get into hand loading so I guess I'll be holding off for the moment, though I am interested. I got my Vaquero because I wanted a cowboy style revolver, I just wish I liked...

So I'm thinking of adding something a little different to my collection and want another revolver. I have a New Vaquero in .357 which I find manageable for recoil, but I end up shooting mostly .38 in it. My 3" SP101 is painful in .357. With that in mind, would I find .45 colt in a Blackhawk...

Lefty, if you're still looking for an IWB holster, check out High Noon Holsters. I recently ordered their Split Decision (always in stock) for my SR9c and am happy with it, though it is my first IWB so I have nothing to compare it to yet. They shipped quickly and stand behind their product with...

Thanks all, I appreciate all the thoughts and advice. For me I think practice, some increased hand strength and ultimately some professional instruction may help.

I am using a high two handed grip but will be experimenting in future sessions. A slightly lower grip and gloves will probably help as I get used to it. Certainly wouldn't trade it at this point, sorry Mandan :) Flint Ridge, if you're comfortable with the LCR I have no doubt the 101 would be...

Thanks guys. I have been experimenting with grip a little, perhaps it is causing some limpwristing as mentioned. The slide does lock fine when manually racked with an empty mag. I will also clarify that I'm using only 17 round mags but loading them with different numbers of rounds depending on...

I bought my 3" SP101 a few weeks ago after debating between it and various S&W models. I'm very happy with its accuracy and find it extremely manageable with .38, .38+P and Blazer .357 rounds. I liked the factory grips but put Trausch grips on and find they are a much fuller fit in my hand. I...

I hope this isn't a duplicate question but search isn't returning any results for me right now. Anyway, lately I've been experiencing numerous issues with the slide not locking back after firing the last round in a magazine. It has happened with numerous brands of ammo (Federal, Remington, PMC -...

After reading the positive comments on the forum I also just installed the Ghost Ultimate and am impressed. I don't know if it's truly 3.5lb as advertised, but it's definitely lighter than factory. I put 150 rounds on it today and did not have the jump on my first shot of each magazine as...

Thanks guys, I appreciate the info.

Hello all, I just put the first 150 rounds through my new SR9 today and had a great time. Recoil was very manageable and the only misses were my fault, not the gun's. Anyway, I intend to field strip and clean the pistol after each range trip, but wonder about how frequently to breakdown and...
