I am a died in the wool Ruger fan and have owned dozens through the years and still have several. I was excited to see Ruger finally introduce a slim centerfire semi-auto (I've owned 4 P series in the past). I could never warm up to the P series and finally concluded I don't like slide mounted safties.
So I go the LGS to buy an SR9 when they first hit the shelves. They had 2, both with incredibly gritty triggers; they were simply unacceptable for a descriminating shooter. These were so bad, I thought something was wrong with the gun(s). I don't care if a gun costs $200.00, there was no rational excuse for a trigger that rough. None. My guess is those early triggers hurt SR9 sales. As most know, Ruger had teething problems with some of the early SR9's, so I guess the trigger was a harbringer for me. Later found out it was a no-no to dry fire the SR9 w/o a snap cap.
So now I understand they basically copied the Glock trigger and from all accounts it's smoother. I haven't tried this version of the SR9. I may check out an SR40 since I prefer the 40 over the 9.
