The LGSs are littered with Popo trade-in 22s and 23s.
I'm not spending nearly $400 for the gun and then have to shell out a couple hundred more for a 9mm conversion barrel and mags.
I have no use for a .40, because I own 9mms and .45s.
If I want hicap-easy shooting, I carry a 9.
If I want big bullet-hard hitting, I carry a .45 or a .44 Spl.
I don't need to further complicate my ammo supply logistics with yet another round.
The SR9 is right about the size of a 19 or 23, but holds 17 rds, just like the 17.
The grip fits my hands better (very important).
It has a much better factory trigger, is accurate, and reliable to a fault.
One of my requirements for a new 9mm carry gun was that it HAD to be AT LEAST as reliable as a G19.
It also had to be about the size of a G19 or a Colt Commander.
I was actually wanting a G19, but it would have to be a Gen2.
Couldn't find any. Not used, anyway.
One of my local shops occasionally gets one in, and they sell them for $450+ tax.
Even at that price, they sell the same day as they're put out for sale.
