I have no problem with magazine disconnect in general. On the Bersa 380 Thunder it is well thought out and actually disengages the trigger. For years, I owned a Browing Hi-power and just polished the magazine disconnect. The Ruger SRc is a different matter. If you dry snap the SRc with the...

I have just prepared several more pistols, which are crowding my gun safe for consignment at the local gun shop (LGS). I will lose money on each of them. Sometimes a gun purchase generates satisfaction. For me purchasing Springfield Armory Range Officer and the RO Compact have been very...

I liked the “P” series. Seems like they did what Sig P pistols did for less money. Problem is that they are out of production and service and parts are not available. However Sig is operating in the same way, discontinuing and deleting models frequently.

Absolutely not, the purpose of the ejector going down is to release the sear before you remove the slide. You can push the ejector back with a pencil or simply insert the magazine and it will push the ejector back into place. Be careful not to dry fire this pistol without a magazine in the...

Check warning in your manual. Dry firing without a magazine will damage the striker and magazine disconnect if the magazine disconnect is still installed. Best solution is to remove the magazine disconnect permanently. Without the magazine disconnect the SR9c will function like a normal...

Mike, Note that the SR9c black finish is Nitride. This is same finish used on Glock and others and is superior to stainless steel in terms of rust.. https://www.bing.com/search?q=nitride+finishing&qs=AS&pq=nitride+finish&sk=AS1&sc=8-14&cvid=07C1C8605B1F456098915014CDBD926D&FORM=QBLH&sp=2

The magazine disconnect does two things. First it prevents a chambered pistol from firing when the magazine is removed. Secondly, it quickly destroys the striker assembly and magazine disconnect parts when the operator dry fires with the magazine withdrawn. I have no problem with a magazine...

I have original LC9 with the excellent double action trigger with no over travel after the break. I think this is just about ideal for concealed carry pistol. I use a kydex holster and haven't problem with blue finish. I note it is only 17 ounces and very slim. Also have a SR9c with 10 and 17...

I was under the impression that the SR9c had been discontinued by Ruger. Glad to see it is still with us. I removed the magazine safety to avoid any damage to striker or magazine disconnect during dry firing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dHXND_9-bE&app=desktop

The LC9 is a hammer fired, double action only. The long trigger is by design and is a safety feature. While a long double action pull, it is a good trigger. The secret is to stage the trigger pull, which takes a bit of practice. There is almost no over travel after the sear brakes which really...

This deal is almost too good. This a discontinued model and the factory may not be able to offer service. However they are stoutly built and never break! Just an awareness thing, keep area under the extractor star very clean and dry. Even unfired powder granules under the star can cause the gun...

The Ruger P series are really good guns! Compared to current US production of Sig pistols, the Rugers really shine.

Have standard Stainless Police Service Six 4" barrel in 95% condition with no box or papers. Does this have any collector value?

Your logic is flawed, but I think you just want to be argumentative.

You embellish the liability aspect which we all understand. However the “design flaw” comment is still valid. Not too many pistols with these safety features will quickly break the firing mechanism with just a little dry firing(with magazine removed). Ruger designers could have taken time to...
