Well I have had one for about two weeks so I can give you a little help. As is obvious by my screen name I like Glocks. Have had various ones over the last 15 or so years and I love them. The Ruger SR9 is a very well made gun. The day I got it I took it home and cleaned it thoroughly. I read that this is a good thing to do. I then took it to the range and put 200 rounds of WWB and reloads through it. Flawless. The thing I like about this over the Glock is the SR9 is slightly slimmer yet holds the same amount of rounds. Im also having a little trouble finding a conceal carry holster. Most are backordered so that is just the popularity I guess. I would say go for it. So far this has been a really good and reliable pistol. Hope this helps.

 

I've had mine a little over a year and I love mine. My girlfriend liked it so much she got an sr9c they have both been very reliable pistols. He'll like it if it fits his hand good

 

I've qualified with mine several times and haven't shot less than a 98.3, last time was a clean. Great pistol,great feel very accurate, now if they could make a high cap .45 in the same package I may have to get another.

 

Excellent pistol, well worth the money.
Good accuracy, better than most contemporary pieces.
Reliability is very good.

Excellent value and good accuracy.

Only took about 1/2 a magazine to clear FTF issues.

Buy, beg or steal one.

I also have an SR40 which, I think, is just as good. Maybe a bit more muzzle rise than some (but less than the Glocks) but another real deal.

 

according to the sr9 forums, one can use glock 21 holsters to fit the sr9.

Mine did not work at all when NIB. Sent it back to Ruger, and now works fine.

 

Wow! Thanks everybody! Seems to have great reviews by their owners.... My brother has read your responses and your links and is dead set on one. So thanks for helping him :thumb:

 

if you get an SR9, make sure it has the trigger safety on it. if it does not then it is one of the older recalled models that go off for no reason. I repeat. Make sure it has the Glock style trigger safety or do not buy it.

 

I have one and am very happy with it. I know alot of folks dont like them but Fobus makes a holster for the sr9 and a Blackhawk serpa for a M&P 9 will work as well but requires using soft side velcro to snug it up a bit.:thumb:
