I picked one up an SR9c last week and got to put 150 rounds through it today. I haven't been this happy with a 9mm since I traded a P95 for a Taurus PT92 a couple years back -- nothing wrong with the P95, as it was very reliable and sufficiently accurate for me, but I prefer a frame-mounted safety.
Recoil is far lighter than I expected from a small(ish) 9mm, and it was right on to POA from the box. I like the trigger a lot -- I've never had a striker-fired double action-only pistol before, and I was very pleasantly surprised. I think its trigger makes a huge difference in the accuracy department over other 9mm's I have shot over the years (namely Luger, P-38, PT-92, Ruger P-series and Browning Hi-Power), and having the same pull every time is easier than the transition from DA first shot to SA for the rest of the magazine.
The magazines are stiff and the factory provided loader is necessary, as seems to be the case with every Ruger 9mm I've ever handled. The full-size mag with the grip sleeve is really nice, but even the shorter mag with the pinky extension gives enough of a grip for all of the fingers. Mine ran well with Winchester white box, Remington UMC and Silver Bear ammo -- no issues with any of the three brands. I debated for several months before getting it (I probably handled one on three or four trips to the shop before finally deciding), but now I'm very glad I did.
It definitely made it easier for me to decide what to look for at the gun show this weekend -- a couple good holsters and more magazines.
