ok so i picked up my new SR9 this past Saturday... cleaned it on the spot and then went over to the range and went through 200rds of WWB...
zero FTEs, FTFs or anything else... its accurate enough... especially considering that my previous experience with 9mm handguns has been limited to range rentals, mostly glocks... the trigger is nice and smooth with a clean break... and i dare say that shooting the SR9 feels better than most of the other 9mm's i have fired... and it definitely feels more solid and durable to shoot than the glock 17
i really love the way the black finish looks, its so much nicer than a blued finish... its a nice slim profile with very few parts that stick out that could get snagged on clothing...
took some pictures
now my first 100rds were me just getting used to the gun... the second hundred, i used Shoot NC stick-ons over the first target... the first pic below is at 7 yards, the 2nd is 15... i also chalk my tighter group up to the fact that the 15 yard target was done after 150 rounds of me getting used to the gun...
as i was cleaning it tonight, i noticed that the front sight is off to the right of center by about 1/8" so im guessing that might have something to do with my grouping being off center... well that and the fact that im a poor shot in the first place...
here it is in the middle of the cleaning process
also when i was cleaning it, i noticed some peening on the top of the barrel... its really small, perhaps 1/16" or so... so im going to put another 200rds through it tomorrow and see if it gets any worse... if it does, im gonna call Ruger on Monday...
