Without the rail and front serrations it's a VERY handsome gun, and even better when melted. Wish they made it that way. It just looks so busy and cluttered with those two things ... so much so that I wouldn't buy it in it's current configuration ... primarily because I have two other carry pieces.

I'm sorry fellers...but I am of the opinion that the SR9 is simply inferior to it's peers...and the compact version is no different...I have officially jumped on the "Ruger just doesn't get it" band wagon...the LCR was a brilliant move...the LCP was a good addition to their line up...and adding their own AR was smart I think...but that's about it...their prices compare to the compatition, but most of their new products do not...
Oooooh Cattledawg, you are treading on some thin ice, trust me .... I know. 
LOL. I'm pretty tough on Ruger semi's, primarily from an accuracy standpoint. From a purely cosmetic point of view, I think the 9c is really nice looking if it lost the front serrations and rail, which of course, most likely won't happen.
Generally speaking I agree with you though. They've had some rough releases lately, and their products don't stand up well to ohers in the class. I'm still hoping for a base, but accurized 1911.
We'll have to see if the peening issues plague the 9c like they did (and still do) the SR9. If reports start coming in about peening, that would be the death blow for the SR platform. I really hope that doesn't happen. Maybe they'll release an SR9C AS (anti-snag) and lose the front slide serrations and rail, and do a little melting on the slide and sights. I think I'd have to buy one if they did. Even if the accuracy was lacking, it's a close in carry gun, so I could forgive that.
I for one am truly hoping that reports don't start pouring in of failures and peening and the like, and certainly hope there's no recall. My opinion is that most buyers will probably LIKE the FSS and rail, so I'm probably in a minority there. I just really don't like non-functional stuff on guns just for the sake of gussying them up.
I bet the 9c sells like hotcakes ... and I'll be glad if it does. It just won't sell to me in it's current cosmetic configuration.

SR9C is listed on impact for $415. Not bad.
I'm thinking SR9c for carry, get a weapon light for the SR9 and leave it as a dedicated HD gun.

I don't think they're "sold out", as they've probably never had any to begin with. I will agree that they are "out of stock".

I noticed they finally got added to the various davidsons listings (smaller shops). No inventory shown yet. I'm guessing the first run will go straight out to dealers with not much inventory stocked back. Still trying to get a line on one so I can put my name all over it. I think, at least in my area, $400 wouldn't be bad. We have one shop here that has 4 SR9's, 2 black and then 2 stainless, for the great price of $515 ea. If you ask nice, they'll give you $10 off. Or you go to one of the other shops and pay about $80 less.

I would go M&P or XD loooong before I went Glock. Just don't like those stupid things.
But yeah, they've had those in there for a while. I don't think they care. One of the black on blacks is trashed as well. You can't hardly get a mag to go in it. It keeps catching on something. I pointed it out to them and they just went, oh well, and stuck it back on the shelf. Went in a while later and looked at it, same thing, same response. I don't go there much anymore.

That's what I've been thinking too... I'd like to have an SR9, but since I already have "the best" Ruger 9mm, the P95, I can see a Glock 30 in my future...
