As a long time Ruger lover, I have to say that I am totally disappointed with them on the SR9! BIG TIME! How does a company ship out 25 thousand pistols where you can't shoot 9mm FMJ with out shaving the tips off of them? Impossible to load! After contacting Ruger they send a Lapua quick loader which doesn't correct the problem. Then... Ruger comes out with a new magazine which has a smaller magazine catch hole that doesn't rip into the tips of FMJ bullets. To top this fiasco off, the current brainiacs at Ruger said they have a redesigned magazine catch that you can send the gun back in (your dime and spend $6.00 for the replacement part). In this way you can shoot either the old or newer magazines. Now that won't get Ruger in a lawsuit in itself. They should have recalled these pistols on their dime. It's their fault, not ours. But BOY......they jump at accidental discharge pistols. Drop the gun in the kitchen and take out Grannie! Nice, considering the fiascoes noted above. Nope never again and I am sorry. Sold it. I bought a CZ-75B stainless (CZ-USA). Worked like Superman right out of the box. Barrel, frame and slide all serialized. Tight and slick. A better grip than the SR9. A Quality assurance slip with a "real" signature and test target comes with it. The most accurate pistol next to my Springfield Loaded Target 1911-A1 .45. Nope, I am sorry to say Ruger has lost a long time customer. Now I hear their new .380 pistol is flawed as well. Go figure. Trial and error engineering should have been accomplished prior to release. Boy...I am glad I found the CZ-75B. What a difference.
