SR9c magazine load out.

[Anonymous]

Since I just ordered 3 new SR9 17 round magazines from Midway USA and 3 SR9c Magazine adapters from ShopRuger.com.

I'm wondering what SR9c magazine load out others have settled on and the ratio of 10 rounders to 17 rounders, number of 10 rounders with the finger extension vs flat plate and so forth.

The 3 I just ordered bring me to

5 17 rounders w/adapter.

2 10 rounders w/finger rest.

1 10 rounder w/flat plate

I think I'd still like to add 1 10 rounder w/flat plate and one 10 rounder w/finger rest.

By the way. Midway has the hard to find 17 round SR9 magazines back in stock and is running a` $10.00 off $100.00 purchase promo code deal over the 4th of July weekend that brings the purchase price of 3 mags down to Around $31.00 a mag.

Last question. if Ruger made a less bulky 12 or 13 round intermediate magazine for the SR9c that utilized the space inside the finger rest. Would you buy them?

WOW- had to read that a couple times :shock:
Myself I bought a couple of xtra 10 round mags & use them-
I find the 17 rd mags defeat the purpose of the COMPACT :roll:

Oh good..Then you won't mind sending me the 17 rounder Ruger gave you from the factory? Will you Tex?...Since Ruger obviously stuck it in the SR9c box by mistake. Ruger not being aware that you had decreed that the SR9c had no role other than deep concealment.

Heck, Ruger should laser etch a warning on the side of the frame. "This Firearm only suitable for IWB carry. Use of conventional holster could cause accident or DEATH."

There Tex. Feel better now?

Now back to the original purpose of the thread.

Wow! A bit harsh, aren't you?

 

[axisofoil]

mylastrook, not all sr9c's came with a 17-rd magazine.

I had the option of either 1 10rd and 1 17 rd, or 2 10 rd, and guess what? I picked 2 10 rd mags.

Oh good somebody actually answered the question.

I'll put you down for two lonely 10 round mags Axis. Tell me do you ever get tired of loading them over and over again or do you not get to the range enough for that to be a consideration.

I know Tex has trouble with reading and I guess you have trouble with numbers and story math problems Axis. Because if you'd actually bothered to read the original post, you'd of seen that I have more 10 rounders than the 2 that came with your SR9c and am planning on buying a couple more.

Now I know your going to find this hard to believe. in fact. The very thought of what I'm about to say may well wreck your world.

Quite a few shooters buy the SR9c because its a (I'll place emphasis in caps. Kind of like Tex does here.) DUEL USE PISTOL.

Okay..I'll give you a line break in there to catch your breath, because I know that revelation almost knocked the wind out of you sport.

Yes..Yes..It's true the SR9c could in a pinch actually be quickly converted to a weapon with the horrible unfud like magazine capacity of say a full sized Glock 17. In fact. Oh my god! People in free states can even change them back and forth at will..in less than a second...OH THE HUMANITY!

Do you think everybody who CCW's is the same size and carries in the same place and style of holster you do? I know this is going to come as a little bit of a shock to you Axis...But I know that there are people who manage to conceal a spare 17 round mag with an adapter...Again catch your breath here Axis because I know that's going to be hard for you to comprehend and we wouldn't want you to stroke out because the whole world doesn't carry your way.

 

[Cheesewhiz]

Mylastrook, you asked for opinions several times in the first post and then proceed to blast those that answered. I guess I don't get what you're up to.

 

[Anonymous]

Actually, I asked for run of the mill discussion regarding the number of each type of magazines and the different floor plates on the ten rounders, that others had purchased, beyond the two magazines supplied with the SR9c.

Unfortunately what I've got so far is a few losers, with poor tone and bad attitude. The good news here, being that I know just how to deal with that sort, until sensible posters that want to have an intelligent discussion of the topic arrive.

Nope, never get tired of reloading them. I have an uplula.

If people got a pistol for "duel"ing, then they probably didn't get an sr9c, they probably got a dueling pistol. If they wanted a "duAl" use pistol, then I'm not sure what their two uses are. I know that I use mine for ccw, oc, home defense, competition shooting, target shooting, and even practicing and plinking! Never in ANY of this do I feel the NEED to make the gun larger.

I have 6 or 7 10-rd mags and a couple 17's. I didn't say everyone carries just like me, or even that everyone carries. But you mentioned that they came with a 17-rd mag, and not all of them did. And not everyone is just like you; I see you have a hard time comprehending that, though you have no problem feeling that I don't.

Enjoy your trolling.

Could you be any more deliberately obtuse Axis...I mean just so all of us could get a better picture of what a pathetic little troll you are.

Oh look..I can call people a troll to...Don't you know that wins every internet dispute.

where's a moderator at when you need them :|

 

[Anonymous]

Your right velva...A mod would definitely take action against Axis for cr***ng in a perfectly good thread.

Here's a great idea. Lets run Galloway out of the forum because he's making +2 and +6 magazine extensions that pretty much have to offend Axis's Fud like dedication to firearms filling one tiny, narrow, little niche and so Galloway's presence on the forum doesn't give Axis a head ache from all that thinking about a wider range of tactical scenarios.

I posted this pic last week, But I'll post it again here because I know it'll make Axis's head explode.

OH MY GOD!!! NOT ONLY DOES IT HAVE A FULL SIZED 17 ROUND MAGAZINE AND FACTORY RUGER ADAPTER BUT HE PUT A LIGHT ON IT TO!!! OH HORROR OF HORRORS!!! NEXT THING YOU KNOW SOMEBODY WILL BE PUTTING ONE OF THOSE CCW ONLY PISTOLS IN A DROP LEG OR ON A TACTICAL RIG!!!

 

[velvalco]

jeepers mister you sure can kick a dead horse......

I like the light though, where'd ya get it?

 

[Anonymous]

It's the Smith & Wesson light. Seems like I bought it at Cheaper Than Dirt for $56.00 or close to that. It usually resides on my S&W SD40 with the Apex trigger job (6.7 pounds) but every now and then I slide it onto the SR9c when it's the 9c's turn to do night stand duty.

Here's a pic of it in profile that gives a better view of the light.

Despite the derision heaped on this light because of its Chinese origin. It works just as well as other more expensive American made plastic bodied LED Pistol lights designed for compact pistol rails.

 

[velvalco]

that's great, i've been looking for a light for my M&P 40c, and that would be perfect. I'll check it out. My 40 does alot of nightstand duty. My sr9c rides on my super tuck or my lcp in my pocket.


btw picture didn't come through..may just be me..i got too many kids skipping around on xbox live today....suckin up my bandwidth....I might have to go pull their plugs..lol.

 

[Anonymous]

I went back and checked and found that I was wrong about where I picked up that light, this was where I picked mine up.

http://www.batteryjunction.com/smith-wesson-micro90.html

Most of the time my SR9c rides concealed in a Comptac MTAC with the 10 rounder with the flat floor plate....But occasionally it does nightstand duty at hotels and motels when I travel and don't want to carry a second gun, when its a whole lot easier just to throw two or three 17 round mags and the light in my shaving bag.

What magazine load out I carry really depends on what I'm wearing and the areas where I will be traveling on any given day. What ever load out I choose I rather like the flexibility and choice that the SR9c's two magazine system affords.

 

[velvalco]

have it on order..thanks!

 

[metweezer]

6 17 rounders all with adapters.
1 10 rounder w/finger rest (thinkin about going back to flat plate).

 

[Anonymous]

Man, and here I thought I had a short fuse...the 17 rnd magazine makes sense to me in the SR9C, but I doubt I'd go off the deep end just because others didn't really think so. LOL!

 

[jdavis]

The choice of magazines and/or quantity needed depends upon your intended purpose for the weapon. In the case of the OP it appears that he intends to use his as a range gun. He needs many magazines that he can load in advance so that it won't be necessary to reload while in an extended range session. OTOH, Tex like many others intends to use his as a concealed carry weapon for self defense. In this case it is unlikely that he will even need one 10 round magazine much less two in an actual SD situation. My use for the SR9C is similar to Tex and I therefore ordered 2 10 round mags. I removed the pinky extension and replaced it with the flat plate making the piece easier to conceal.
Ruger has made this gun with magazine options to appeal to most every need. It's all good...to each his/her own.

 

[Anonymous]

I have two 10-rds with the pinky extension, and 4 17-rd with the extension. I carry with the 10s, obviously, and do want a couple more. I, like the OP Mr. Happy, like the 17s for practice, but I travel some for work, and into some bad areas, so when I go places like that I carry an extra 17 in a case.
I plan on keeping the 9c the rest of my life, or I wouldn't have the ones I do. Only reason I want a couple more 10s is in case they break, whatever, and you never know when production may slow down, or sotp.

BTW forgot to mention, that light is also on sale here

There Tex. Feel better now?

Now back to the original purpose of the thread.

Ya know- If you wud have just asked I mite have done just that-
BUT- I never give anything but advice to smart mouths-
I wont even bother giving you THAT- :roll:

But one question-

.But occasionally it does nightstand duty at hotels and motels when I travel and don't want to carry a second gun,

Since when do pizza delivery boys have to travel overnite?

 

[jhearne]

Replying to the last question in the OP: There won't ever be an 'intermediate' mag for the SR9c. You get the max capacity of the full SR9, or the 10 rounders for compact size. Then there's also the fact that there are a few states that restrict what you can acquire. Don't forget that the 10 round mag for the SR9c utilizes the same metal body of the 10 round SR9 mag. Saves Ruger design costs and there's no way to extend (*without heavy, custom modifying) the round count of that magazine. Galloway has looked into it. The horse is now a mangled corpse, please let it rest.

Also, did you mean DUEL or DUAL? I can only imagine you meant dual as you took the time to set it up and explain the CAPSLOCK.

I'm altering the dictionary, pray I don't alter it further.
