I picked up my new Ruger SR9c last Friday. I then rendered it useless on Saturday (there is a thread about that), I called Ruger on Monday morning and fixed the gun (there is a thread about that also), and I got to the range with it today (Wednesday). It's had quite a story right out of the box.
So anyway, I went to the range this afternoon. It was a fairly nice day with temps in the upper 80s. I had already cleaned the gun and lubed it. I shot 50 rounds of S&B 115 gr FMJ and 50 rounds of Federal 115 gr FMJ with absolutely no problems. I'm really liking this gun.
Normally when I start shooting, even pistols that I'm familiar with, it takes me five or ten rounds at least to get settled down. I'm usually all over the place. After that I do as well as I expect to do. Well, my very first shot out of this SR9c went right into the very center of the center circle of a shoot-n-see type target. Unbelieveable!
I got so excited that my next four shots totally missed the eight and a half inch square target. 
After that I did settle down and shot well with it.
I bought the SR9c with the intention of carrying it when I can. In Maryland right now, that is not possible but Maryland may become a shall issue state later this year.
For a light weight pistol the recoil is very controlable. For me, this pistol will be just right for carrying. Not too large and not too small. I'm really happy with this gun and hope that some day I will be able to carry in my home territory.
