I own a Ruger Sr9C. I posted this on another forum today, and thought there might be some SR9, SR9C, or Glock owners that might be interested in my experience......
OK, I haven't modified the slide release, yet, but I removed the magazine disconnect (VERY easy) and I installed the Ghost Rocket trigger connector. The Rocket was not really difficult, but one shouldn't do it if they're not experienced with tools, and feel comfortable opening up and disassembling their gun. There are instructions on the Ghost site, and a couple videos to guide you.
You have to adjust the Rocket to fit by grinding/filing one tab to JUST the right size for your gun (SR9, SR9C, or Glock). It requires repeatedly filing a fraction off, reassembling the frame and firing parts, then dry-firing to check the trigger. If it won't fire, you repeat the process. I had to do it only three times until I got the trigger right.
Now the pull length and release is only about 1/4 of an inch (my unmeasured estimate.) That feels great when shooting because you don't really have to focus too much on your trigger control, i.e., there is very little movement, so you don't get gun movement related to your trigger finger moving back a distance to the fire stage, then moving back in release just the right distance to pull again for the next shot. I had fun firing it today on the range, and was able to focus more on other shooting factors than trigger control.
The pull is supposed to be 3.5 lbs. with the Rocket. I have no way of measuring, but it feels only a little lighter than before installation, though I admit I don't know the original pull weight of the SR9C. I did read a review that said it was 5.2 lbs, which would match my feel of a little lighter pull with the Rocket.
Overall, quite good, and I am really thinking the SR9C is the best handgun I've owned. Now, I just have to fix that slide release!
