I was SO on the fence about the SR9c when I was shopping for a subcompact 9mm the other day. The SR9c felt great in hand and was less expensive. However, my first handgun was the original SR9 and it suffered a badly peened barrel. I own a lot of Rugers, but that left a bad taste in my mouth. I'm also not a huge fan of the safety. I know I don't have to use it, but it's fairly easy to flip on by mistake while moving or holstering.
I really liked how my original SR9 shot, but I have been using Glocks for the last could of years and hand to go with the G26. Still, I'm sure the SR9c is a great gun. Lots of people love them. Just a tad big with a few features I don't find desirable for my intended purposes.
