I got a new SR9C (awesome gun, no complaints so far) and quickly took it apart after putting 100 rounds through it. I have a ghost trigger on the way and I wanted to make sure I could get to the replacement part and put it back together and on the first attempt I failed, here's why:
Currently the only videos available for reassembling the trigger assembly and placing it back in the gun are for the SR9, not the SR9c. The SR9c is VERY easy to put back together wrong and not know it because the trigger bar lift spring is shaped differently. See this awesome thread http://www.rugerforum.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=778994&sid=9b0df349a1c32545f49301bdf958f243 for pics. Because of the new bend in this spring it EASILY falls out of its proper position when you're sliding the whole trigger assembly back into the frame. You have to be extra careful and probably put a finger on it holding it flush against the assembly while sliding the assembly back into the frame or the spring will likely lose it's positioning. The result is your trigger will not reset after firing properly.
This is the spring (shown on the right for the SR9c)
Make sure it is seated properly like this, not just when you first put it back in and get the safety back on but when you actually slide the assembly into the frame:
NOTE: This is not a design flaw, the bend was clearly put into the spring on purpose to make sure that this spring doesn't come out of place during normal operation thanks to added side pressure from the frame, however, it just makes reassembly easier to screw up if you don't know what to look for.
