Hello everyone.
In 2008 I saw the Ruger SR-9 for the first time. Although I had never shot a gun yet at that time, nor new nothing about it, I told myself one day when I got my permit that I would have one.
Fast forward to 5 months ago, I obtained my Florida CCW, and my father surprised me by handing me down a Ruger SR-9 he had for 4 years, unbeknownst to me, that he had put maybe 100 rounds thru! I also received a KelTec P-11 that is my daily carry currently, thats been fully modded out with the entire M*Carbo Catalog offerings.
I love the way the Ruger shoots, and once in awhile I will take it for the day as my carry ,despite being a fullsize pistol. I'm getting ready to modify it for the first time and I had some questions. My goal is to build a nice personal/home defense weapon.
I'm looking at the Ghost "Tactical" Trigger bar that is 5lbs vs the Ultimate (or could be Rocket) that is a 3.5# pull. I'm almost thinking the Tactical at 5# would be better than the 3.5#, because again this will be a self defense build and i still want to have some resistance on the trigger. My Keltec is a 5# trigger (still yet to verify, im going to ask my gunsmith to next time im at the shop).
Sights: I'm fighting myself over an optical vs fiber optic standard sights. I have a holster designed for the tac light/laser I purchased for it. I'm almost thinking for ease of carrying (and being able to carry daily if I choose), the standard sights in fiber optic would be better.
Also, I'm going to be throwing the entire Galloway catalog at the gun, I just wanted to see who had their SR modded and what you thought of the mods.
Thanks for any advice you can provide the newb!
