Hey SR9C owners, what types of setups and holsters are you using to conceal carry this pistol? I hear a lot of about kholsters and kytec plastics being good to use? But what are all of you strapping on?

First of all, welcome to the forum. I carry my SR9c in my Crossbreed Supertuck for my SR9. Very quality holster. Look em up and I bet you find a lot of good reviews. Very comfortable to wear also.

Great pic Texasgunner. Shows the 'brickiness' of the XD (IMO) compared to the SR9 and SR9c. Glad I did the SR9c :wink:

I bought (waiting for actually) a rgrizzleleather.com Town & Country IWB in black for my SR9c.

Hey thanks for the welcome note and the help on the holster, planning my first purchase of the SR9C and this is information is greatly appreciated. will be looking into the two holsters mentioned above.

Has anyone heard of the Minotaur MTAC IWB holster? I hear they are slightly more high quality than the crossbreed super tuck.

Also, forgive me as I don't have much education in IWB holsters, but can they be worn at the 8 O'clock position or are they strictly 9 and 3 position holsters. I am a left handed shooter, and I am thinking of placing the pistol at the 8 O clock position just to the left side of my rear.

Kholster works for me. My SR9c has a very good trigger and it seems to be getting better after only 250 rounds down range (no hiccups at all). It is surprisingly accurate (I regularly shoot a 1911, 3 screw in .357, and a Mark II). Since I intend for it to be my primary carry, I don't think I'll alter the trigger bar, at least for a while. My only problem now is that it is my only 9mm... and my brain says I need at least two of every caliber I reload for! :lol:

Not a fan of the P345? Too bulky? Actually, that might attract my attention as well...

Texasgunner,
I use to dislike the looks of most of the P series pistols too, but they have really, really grown on me, and I actually like the looks of them now. Note: I don't own one yet, but I might have P93 as early as later this week. BTW, looks matter to me too. I wouldn't purchase a firearm that I couldn't stand to look at.

Awwww, they are'nt THAT bad but just have no "eye" appeal to me :roll:

I've never really liked the P series 'looks', even though they fit me well in the hand. Then came the SR9 and then obviously the 'c', which I jumped on, as it's a great looking pistol, IMO.

It's quite possible to do the .40 and the .45 in the SR (and even 'c' frame). The Kimber Ultra Carry II is within a tenth of an inch (IIRC) in every dimension compared to the SR9c, for example.

How do you guys feel with carrying the SR9c as a CCW when it comes to the 9mm caliber? Is it enough?

I do own a Sig 230 Stainless and love the gun too but the Ruiger will be what I carry 75% of the time.

Ruger Nut10,

Anyway you can post a picture of the SR9C and your Sig 230 side by side? If you can, just take a picture and email it to me I can post it, if you you haven't taken the 'internet picture posting challenge' yet.

well, in my opinion the 9mm is not as good as the 45 but I tell you what 10+1 in my SR9c and 17 more on my extra mag I think is more than enough... :D

I'm comfortable with it.

Studying for my CHL in TX, and reading several of Ayoob Massad's books. Short version, IMHO, is to be accurate. Been practicing Ayoob's 5 shots in 5 seconds at 5 yards in a 5 inch circle. If I can't do that, then caliber isn't really my issue that needs to be worked on.

Thanks for the replies, I personally enjoy the median 40 cal, and would love to see that caliber implemented into the SR9c. However, I do enjoy the 9mm round for shooting purposes, utilizing it as a personal protection caliber has its ups and downs for me. But I highly agree that the capacity and the accuracy you get from shooting 9mm are the two high points of the caliber that draw it away from the fact that it is a smaller round. Also, finding ammo wouldn't be as hard.

I feel as though being able to place rounds on target quickly with precision is a must, which is quite doable with 9mm hand guns.

I carry the Ruger SR9C for CCW and I think the 9MM in +P is fine for self defense, plus the ruger gives you 10 and 17 round mags that shoud be plenty :wink:

yup, I actually went from a Glock 23 .40S&W to a 9mm Ruger SR9c.. I can shoot the 9mm better because of the lesser recoil..I can get more bullets closer to center mass(or where ever im shooting) in less time and in a batter group than I could with a .40.

I kinda left the .40 out of the equation anymore to be honest ebcause of ammo prices. When I got the Glock 23 the .40 rounds(practice) were about $5 CHEAPER a box of 50 than .45 ACP but a bit more expensive than 9mm..about $3-4 more a box than 9mm was...now days .40S&W and .45 ACP are the EXACT SAME PRICE..so I see no reason to fool around with the .40S&W anymore..I dont save $$ anymore VS the .45 ACP and if I want to go from 9mm to something bigger...I will now just go right to .45 ACP .

^Very interesting, but makes a lot of logical sense. Bullet prices are a killer, I can see why you are doing this, smart move.
