I would like to clarify some things. As you may know (or you can just read it) I live in The Netherlands and guns are only allowed for 'sport shooting' so it's not used for carry or self-defense (strictly forbidden here), so I use my guns for fun and enjoyment only and part of the fun for me is...

You just could have asked me, happy now?

Cutting a spring on a striker fired pistol is nothing special and I've only done this, because I had a spare spring on hand........otherwise I wouldn't have done it.

I think I fixed it by installing a new striker spring. I had cut 1,5 coil from the striker spring and although it has functioned for 1000+ rounds I guess cutting the striker spring is a delicate matter ;-)

I have a strange problem with my SR9. When shooting 2 handed the striker sometimes doesn't cock and stays in its forward position. It never happens when I'm shooting one handed.......is this 'common'?

I know this topic is 'old', but Ameriglo has sights for the SR9 and I like them.

Sounds like my SR9.

I've loaded the mags to full capacity and let them full for 2 days and after that the springs where not as stiff anymore and very usable.

Usually the Ruger site has a countdown thingy when something news is about to be launched........so I have a hard time believing the Ruger 1911 is coming. But I very much hope I'm mistaken ;-)

BTW, I live in The Netherlands and guns are only allowed here for sport shooting. Self defense and such is very much forbidden and if I would shoot someone I'll will be in trouble on a scale that a removed safety isn't going to make much difference.

I've ordered a spare set of safety's for my SR9 and when I get them, I'll grind the levers off. I only use the SR9 for fun on the range, so I don't care about liability and lawyers ;-)

CZ's are not that more accurate than other service grade pistols and a Glock groups about the same, some have better fitted barrels and tighter slide/frame fit. Here in Europe CZ's are cheap and plentiful and certainly not regarded as uber-accurate. In the 80's they were so cheap that a lot of...

I have a stainless 75B and it's quite a bit more accurate than my SR9.

This is how it looks.

I guess mine shoots a bit low too. But since the sights have cost me well over $100 with shipping and customs (I don't want to deal with customs again) I don't plan on replacing the rear, I'll just shorten the front a bit. BTW, the front sight is quite tricky to install because of the very thin...
