That's fine, I like Glocks too but they just don't feel as good in my hand.That gun is gone. It is not missed. It's sale funded a Glock.
I'll give you that...unless we are talking G19. Feels oh so good...That's fine, I like Glocks too but they just don't feel as good in my hand.
But, the SR series is great in the hand, but, I've seen better.
You're talking a 1/4 lb of extra heft over a fullsized Glock or nearly 1/2lb over a compact Glock. That is QUITE substantial in a carry pistol, or an extended shooting session.That puts it ahead of the Glock in my hands. To me, somebody made a plastic brick, then put a plastic 2x4 on it for a handle.
Owning BOTH an SR9 and an SR9c, and an XDm to compare side by side, I like the Ruger better. Fact is, even for that "little more $$" I haven't found anything "better".
Weight? SR9 is 26.4 oz., Glock 17 is 22.4 oz. SR9c is 23.4 oz. and Glock Model 19 is 20.99 oz. These are empty weights.
None of the guns are particularly heavy. You aren't comparing them to a 1911A1.
Those figures are not entirely accurate Ruger chooses to weigh they're guns with a magazine Glock's weight is without a mag. throw a mag in them and it's much closer.You're talking a 1/4 lb of extra heft over a fullsized Glock or nearly 1/2lb over a compact Glock.

Once again; as per Rugers sight, the full size SR9 weighs in at 26.5 oz...sans magazine. That is, once again, 1/4 lb more than the Glock 17.

Unloaded.Don't forget adding ammo to a mag. I have the SR40 and depending on the ammo I chose, there is a bit of difference in the weight.
The SR40 is heavier than the 9mm but not too heavy to carry on a day to day basis.
Unloaded.
The Ruger "site" does not specify "sans magazine". But if you look at the 10 round model it's 1/4 oz lighter, be kinda hard to do that if they weigh them "sans magazine"Once again; as per Rugers sight, the full size SR9 weighs in at 26.5 oz...sans magazine.

Because people like to hate on Ruger for various reasons.

I guess weight is not a big selling point for my carry pistols. When your duty gun is 41oz loaded, everything else seems really light by comparison. Even my .380 backup is 18oz which is considered "heavy" by modern standards. So a 28.8oz SR9c loaded weight isn't all that much.
I just Googled various other manufacturers models with the phrase "light strikes" and all had either the same number of responses or vastly more than the SR9. Guns I included were Glock G17, Xd9, P226. So I guess we should all avoid these guns in the future.Google search SR9 and "light strikes" to see why I don't want one. Almost all of the people that posted claimed round counts under 1000 rounds. To me, light strikes are a big deal, especially in a SA striker fired gun.
