What? Pulling the trigger on an SR9 without a magazine damages the gun?

You've gotta be kidding me.

Just another reason to get rid of that dumb mag disconnect.

From page 18 of the user's manual.

DRY FIRING
Going through the actions of cocking, aiming and pulling the trigger on an unloaded gun is known as “dry firing.” It can be useful to learn the “feel” of your pistol. Be certain that the pistol is fully unloaded (both the chamber and
magazine are empty) and that the pistol is pointing in a safe direction even when you are practicing dry firing. The RUGER® SR-SERIES pistols can be dryfired without damage to the striker or other components as long as an empty magazine is inserted.
CAUTION: Dry firing your RUGER® SR-SERIES with the magazine removed may result in damage or unnecessary wear to the magazine disconnect mechanism and/or striker.


So you are correct. But I'm not sure why this would be an issue for you and a reason to remove anything and void your warranty?

Is this concern the same for all striker fired pistols or is there something unique about the SR9 on this regard?

It's not the striker that is the problem. It's the magazine disconnect safety. The magazine disconnect safety keeps the gun from firing if the magazine is removed. Dry firing the gun with the magazine removed is actually testing the magazine disconnect safety.

just take it out, i took out the mag disconnect and it took me literally all of 3 secs. very easy to do.

There's no warranty to void.

Plus Ruger pretty much fixes the gun atleast once on their dime no matter what from everything I've read.

An exception being some rediculous torture test I'm sure.

I took mine out. Very easy, and can be done when taking the striker out to clean it.
