Thinking of getting this. I was going to get the SR9, but I prefer the .40 cal round.
Why not just purchase the real thing?
Better ergonomics? The Glock has absolutely no extraneous controls, erogonomically it's perfect, unlike the Ruger, it's mechanism is entirely self-contained and has never been the subject of an ongoing recall. Trying to compare a Ruger with a Glock is very much like comparing a Yugo with a BMW, you're much better off comparing the SR9 with a Hi-point, as their method of production is quite similar...
I have to laugh, not a single major(any?)LEA issues, or approves for carry a Ruger centerfire pistol! Why do you suppose that is?I don't really like Glocks. They seem to have no "personality" to them. Also, doesn't the Ruger P95 beat Glock 17 in terms of durability?
That's just wrong. Dozens of departments issue Ruger pistols.I have to laugh, not a single major(any?)LEA issues, or approves for carry a Ruger centerfire pistol!
Most department simply buy what the big guys buy and whatever they can get the best deal on. Glock is very good at marketing to LE departments. Buying a gun based on what the police use is like buying a car based on what the rental companies buy.I have to laugh, not a single major(any?)LEA issues, or approves for carry a Ruger centerfire pistol!

That's a very good analogy.Buying a gun based on what the police use is like buying a car based on what the rental companies buy

I'd say this contradicts that.I've seen Rugers locally on the hips of police officers. What's the .45cal they have beside the P345? The P90? I spoke with one of the cops I saw carrying the Ruger and he said it was department issue, was .45cal, accurate and reliable. He seemed very happy with his Ruger.

Cite one major LEA that issues a Ruger pistol, one?That's just wrong. Dozens of departments issue Ruger pistols.
Comparing Ruger to HiPoint? You do have issues.
Nonsense, if that was true, every cop in America would be issued a pair of Ruger's, in fact Ruger's price point is so low as it is, nobody could hope to compete with them in the bidding process, this is just a fact!Most department simply buy what the big guys buy and whatever they can get the best deal on.

As to the SR40 - I'm putting it on my list but I'll wait for at least six months to get field reports. I had one of the original SR9s and really liked it (even the thumb safety) but thought they screwed up the trigger with the recall. I understand that they have improved the trigger since but have not had a chance to handle one. Even so, I'll probably drop a Ghost trigger in it once/if I do get one.
