Hey guys,
I've had my Ruger SR9 (331- serial number) pistol for months now, and I haven't had a single failure with it. Very well built and shoots straight.
But one thing I noticed is that when I load a full magazine at the range pretty hard, the slide will release on its own, chambering a round unexpectedly (this is after I empty a previous mag and it locks back). It kind of catches me off guard, but no biggie because I'm going to shoot anyway.
But then I wondered why it seems to go into battery so easily without me pressing the release or sling-shotting the slide. Whenever I disassemble the gun for cleaning, I have to stick my finger in and push down a lever, so I'm worried that the pistol could release the slide inadvertently or something...ouch.
Just a safety concern I guess. Other people complain about how their slide lock is so stiff, but mine seems to be a little too easy to release.
