Jason1983,
I have been using my SR9, the big brother of the SR9C, for quite a few years now. I find it to be a great gun for carry. The SR9C came out after the SR9, but I decided to stay with my SR9 as it holds up to 18 rounds, with 1 in the chamber. The smaller version does not, and as far as I know there is no aftermarket mag that will. I think the larger version has better balance and the hand grip is very comfortable, because it is adjustable. I don't think you can go wrong with either of these American made pistols. Parts could be a problem with some foreign makes from Brazil, Mexico, Etc.
