I'm helping my friend buy his first handgun, so I've been taking him to the range with me to rent a wide array of different offerings. S&W, Sig, Springfield and Glocks, both in full size and compact varieties. For some reason Ruger seemed to slip my mind and it wasn't until the salesman. who by now is fully aware of what we were up to, offered up the SR9c. Boy am I glad he did! Both my friend and I agree that that little pistol is one sweet shooter, and I think both of us are now in line for one. A real sleeper for sure.
