I am looking into possibly purchasing a LC9 as my primary CCW and have been doing lots of research on all the guns of this type. I think I have narrowed the choice down between this and one other that I will leave nameless so not to skew opinions. To be honest I have not found one small 9mm...

I have a Fobus paddle holster now and for the most part I really like it. The one thing I don't like is that it sticks out a little too much for me. I also am not a fan of IWB holsters. Just personal preference. I work with a former gunsmith that has been out of the game for awhile and...

Got one today and it's going to work great on the 17 round mag, but it doesn't work for the 10 round mag.

What model is it? They appear to have several that will fit 9mm.

I am looking for help in choosing an OWB holster for the SR9c. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Mark

I have held the Glock, CZ and the Ruger. I personally chose the Ruger. There were several factors. 1. I wanted a Safety, Glock doesn't have one 2. Fit in my hand. Riger and CZ fit better then the Glock 26 3. Overall Feel. For me the Ruger felt better then the CZ P07 Duty 4. Cost, the Ruger...

There are so many choices out there that your question is too vague to get a good answer. Do you want defense ammo? Do you want target ammo? Personally for target I use the Winchester white box or the Federal that I can get at Walmart. I don't like the Remington UMC stuff. I haven't decided...

I emailed Ruger on this subject and this is their response. I will be keeping the email just in case something happens and they refuse to work on my SR9c. Dear Mark Bates , Thank you for using the Ruger On-Line Customer Support Request Form. This e-mail is in response to your...

Thinking of picking up some 9mm Federal LE 115gr. +P+ Hollow Point Ammo and wanted to make sure the firearm will not be adversely affected by it. I have been reading some really good things about this lower cost defense ammo. Anyone here have experience with this ammo? Will it cause any harm to...

I took it apart and I can see some witness marks on the striker and the DC. I wouldn't call it marring and I can't feel it when I rub my thumb across it. The very edge of the striker where it contacts the DC looks a bit shiny, but it is only about the width of a hair. The rest of the striker...

In total I think it was done 3 or 4 times. My friend did it by accident and I did it to verify his results. I will do as you say this upcoming weekend. Thanks, Mark

I bought it two weeks ago. I wonder if this only applies to the full size, but they did not properly edit their manual.

This statement comes right from the manual. Your RUGER® SR-SERIES pistol is equipped with a magazine disconnect. This device prevents firing if the magazine is removed from the pistol. You will not be able to use your SR-SERIES pistol as a single loader (unless you place one cartridge in the...

I was reading that the SR9c is suppose to have a magazine disconnect that prevents firing if there is no magazine. I am actually able to dry fire my pistol when no magazine is loaded. I have not tried it with a round in the chamber and don't plan on it either. Is this a concern and should I...
