Are you having issues with FTF, or "light" strikes? If so, check out several recent threads that speak about dirty striker chambers and cleaning out the junk. It seems to help.
I wasn't having any issues with my SR9c, but was cleaning my pistol after a range trip and cleaned the striker chamber. Mine wasn't full of crud as some others have described, but had some gunk. I figure it is just part of maintenance.
I have been very satisfied with my SR9c, no problems or hiccups. Headed to the range today to try out my new XS sights and Ghost Ultimate trigger mod. I will post a range report later....
Good luck!

I pretty much agree with the other post, if you are not having problems, don't worry about it. As I have one that I bought awhile back thats been 100% reliable and I won't worry about it till I have problems. It could have been a bad batch of springs, Although one would think that a stronger spring would give you more lite hits, as the spring force is working against the striker energy.
I bought it used, the owner said they're about 200 rounds under the pipe, i cleaned it up and it looks just regular dirt, and i open where the striking pin are and i didn't see any dirt or anything, it looks clean inside. I haven't been in the range for 2 weeks now, maybe next week..... One more question, im not the original owner, so is the warranty transferable?

Here is the warranty information copied from a Ruger pistol owner's manual.
"WHY NO WARRANTY CARD HAS BEEN PACKED WITH THIS NEW RUGER FIREARM
The Magnuson-Moss Act (Public Law 93-637)does not require any seller or manufacturer of a consumer product to give a written warranty. It does provide that if a written warranty is given, it must be designated as “limited” or as “full” and sets minimum standards for a “full” warranty. Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. has elected not to provide any written warranty, either “limited” or “full”,rather than to attempt to comply with the provisions of the Magnuson-Moss Act and the regulations issued thereunder. There are
certain implied warranties under state law with respect to sales of consumer goods. As the extent and interpretation of these implied warranties varies from state to state, you should refer to your state statutes. Sturm, Ruger & Company wishes to assure its customers of its continued interest in providing service to owners of Ruger firearms."
I realize that it doesn't really speak to transferability of the warranty, perhaps a call to Ruger, or a review of your specific state's warranty statutes are necessary in order to answer your question. Perhaps other forum members have additional comments.

After about 1200 rounds, I have gotten a couple of light strikes (in my carry gun, 1 is too many). I called up Ruger and they provided a UPS shipping label. They will fix (stiffer spring) and return it to me at no charge. That's pretty much their standard policy.
Like Hutto said above me, that is correct. They replaced my striker assembly, which basically meant a longer spring to keep the striker under constant spring pressure. It took care of my light strikes. There were quite a few folks, like myself, who had threads on this. Check with the Search feature, for my threads if you wish. Maybe April or May. Good luck; the striker problem is no big deal at this point, since Ruger figured it out.

I have been having light strikes since day one with my SR9C. I have cleaned the strike assembly after every use and have found varying amounts of metal debris in the assembly everytime. I have been hoping through use the problem would go away but after about 700 rounds it persists. I took my CHL class this past weekend and during my 50 round qualification shooting, I had two light strikes and have decided that I have had enough. I love the gun but I am sending it to Ruger to get this problem solved.

I had my first light strike in the “C” yesterday (over 1000 rounds though it) and ironically on the last round. The C and the full size SR9 did go through 100’s of rounds with 5 shooters constantly using them over a 1.5-hour period, using everything from my most expensive HD rounds to my cheap Russian stuff.
Upon cleaning, the C did have the usual metal shavings. The full size one, (that had already made the repair trip) did not have hardly any. Thought that was strange. Also, we had forgot how hard it was to get the striker cover back on the full size because you have to depress not only the pin, but also the striker assembly to slide it on.
The striker and the cover look identical in each; does anyone know if they are interchangeable? I will ride with the C for another outing, writing it off to the punishment we put them through, but it is my carry weapon and I will not hesitate to send it back, the Full size works like a charm.
