My SR9 went through the recall before I bought it per Rugers great customer service reply. The mag release is great and the trigger is very good and getting better. This is a far better pistol than my PM9 was out of the box but Kahr did do a fine job of making that one right. I'm a revolver guy but I love this Ruger. Everything about it is nearly perfect. I've shot my friends MP9 and a couple other "higher end" pistols and I'll stay with the SR9. I was torn between the MP9 and the SR9 at the gunshop counter but, for me, I made the best choice.
