While I don't own one and thus have no "dog in the fight," I think I would want some more specifics and sources.

I don't know what your game is tblt but you're posting all over the place about which pistol is what and help me make my mind up about this and that, why don't you try following your original thread'(s). you've recieved more than good advice in my opinion on all your different posting's................

So what, because he's asked a few similar questions he's not allowed to ask any more?
Seriously, what's the problem? Maybe the other threads didn't answer his question, or maybe, just maybe, he had some different questions.
My advice - lighten up. He's new, and trying to learn. If you don't like the posts, keep scrolling and read something else. THR is here for people to learn things, not to be told how many posts they can make on what subjects.

By all means, poke around on the 'net forums (especially Ruger dedicated) and see if anybody has reported this. I certainly haven't read anything about anything similar happening. I think this guy is either full of it or the failure was an isolated case (if he was telling the truth). Frankly, I ignore virtually all of what gunshop employees tell me. I've found that they generally know less about what they're selling than I do and they make up things to fill in the holes in their knowledge or support their own particular prejudices. Even if this guy's accounts are true, Ruger will take care of it quickly. No manufacturer wants unhappy customers posting all over the net about how their brand new toy did............whatever.

The expression "falling apart" sounds more like a judgemental conclusion than something literally happening - especially with a Ruger product. I'd really check into this and ask him specifically what is happening when it "falls apart".
Call Ruger and tell them you are interested in purchasing the SR 9 pistol. Then tell them what you were told and ask them what their warranty repairs have been for that model. Then you'll get a better picture of what is happening.

Something's rotten in Denmark.
I don't own any Ruger firearms, but I've had experience with them in the past. If a Ruger "fell apart" due to anything short of run over by a train, I'd be surprised. Say what you want about their ergonomics, they are sturdy.

Or "the only thing worth carrying is a 1911"
It has a take down pin, if that's what you're referring to and I can't see that ever working out. It has kind of springed tab that pops into a cutout that feels very secure to me.
I have done some rapid fire with mine and if the pin was ever going to work out, it would have been then.

Falling apart would be a little vague for me. If they don't know any more details than that, they don't know it happened. What does "fell apart" mean? The grip fell off? The slide fell off?
That being said it isn't always the greatest idea to buy the first run of anything. Waiting a little won't hurt.
No matter what, if the gun had some issue, ruger would just fix/update it for you.

I'm not one to spoil a party but Tblt has 6 seperate threads going as I type this out all pertaining to basiclly the same question so as much as you cherish the QUEST how about a little practicality....................
I would be very skeptical of this claim. Every manufacturer has some manufacturing failures. But I have to say that Ruger makes extremely solid weapons - perhaps too solid. The folks who don't like Rugers claim that they are "chunky" or "clunky" - but always solid. People object to the weight and styling of Rugers, but almost never to the construction.
Of course, the SR9 is a new model for Ruger, and anything can happen with a new model. But I would bet that Ruger would produce a pretty solid model. In whatever they make.

I purchased a chunky and clunky Ruger (I think it was a P85) about 12 or 13 years ago. It was a pretty good shooting pistol, but I have small hands and had to shift my hand around in order to reach the trigger for the first shot, which was double action. This was not an ideal situation and I eventually sold that pistol.
This SR9 is perfect for my small hands and the pistol is not nearly as "chunky" or "clunky" as the P85 was.
The SR9 has a reversible, rubber back-strap and I easily reach the trigger with either the swelled side or flat side facing out.
The trigger is excellent, but Ruger warns that dry firing the pistol without the magazine in place will cause the trigger to become gritty! My SR9 came directly from Davidsons to the dealer and was not dry fired at all.
Cost was $391.99 + $12.95 shipping and IMO this a really good pistol, especially at that price.

I've checked to see what threads he has open and what they deal with, and my question remains - what business is it of yours what he's posting about? If it truly bothers you so much, skip them or put him on ignore. THR is a place to come and ask questions - even lots of them. Practicality has nothing to do with it.
In short - chill out. Nobody else seems bothered, and nobody's forcing you to read or comment on any of the posts here.
