i have a sr9c waiting for me at the gun store but i cant pick her up until the sheriff dept finishes with my permit, i am getting antsy always hearing so many good things about the sr's. i actually contacted ruger complementing them on such a good gun at a wonderful price, and American made, and the other day in the mail i received a free hat and stickers thanking me for the support and everything, just shows what a good company ruger is and the fact that they truly apprciate each and every customer. (although i haven't shot it i did handle it for a while in the store and compared to others. feels great in my hand)
