I recently bought a SR9 and had a few problems with it first couple of weeks. I was not impressed with the gun at all and was a little apprehensive of my purchase. After a few more weeks of owning the gun all the problems worked themselves out and I am now fairly impressed with the gun. I do not regret purchasing the gun now and am actually happy with my purchase.

No problems here, even after a couple thousand rounds. But I clean it after every outing. To me, it's a Glock that fixes the Glock problems (chamber not fully supporting the round, have to pull the trigger to get the slide off, gotta be extra careful w/ cast boolits, etc.). No failures to fire.

Man I did notice my SR9 was tight brand new. They just need a good break in & cleaning. Mainly the verry first SR9's had most of the problomes. Mine has been flawless got it from Impact Guns last July.

Had my sr9 for maybe 2 mo. now. Have 250 rounds through it. Had 1 stovepipe with cheap ammo, slight barrel peening which is lightly polished after first 100 rounds and no more of an issue. My main concern is something that i'm sure no one has really noticed. The cup on the rear of the striker shaft. The spring puts constant tension on this cup, both the shaft and cup are plastic. The cup SHOULD NOT slide off the back. A pin needs removed on the front of the striker, the shaft pulled out and the spring taken off for the cup to be able to come off. What this does when the striker cup is cracked and can slide off the back is it stays engaged into the striker cover, which should easily slide down out of the slide but because the cup stays in the groove of the cover the cover cannot slide down without pushing in the cup in addition to the pin that holds the cover in place. I want to know who else has had this problem. It has happend 2x to me. I noticed it after the first 100 rounds wanting to clean the striker area and then after the next 150 rounds. Since the cup can slide off easily when the slide cycles it makes the striker more difficult to pull in while racking or firing the gun. My BIG worry is when a new round is loaded into the chamber the back edge of the bullet gets forcefully jammed up onto the striker tip and my worry is after awhile the striker will get disfigured and/or deformed. Anyone else notice this? This could easily be fixed if the striker shaft and cup were made of stainless metal.

I've had my SR9 for about three months, with roughly 300 rounds through it. The gun was returned to Ruger last week for a) jams - occasionally a round would only partially feed (especially bad with snap caps), all good-quality ammunition; b) the retaining pin for the fire control unit walked almost completely out, and the unit itself dislodged; c) a small amount of barrel peening.

Customer support was outstanding. I'm hoping the gun will now prove completely reliable, as I want it to be my competition and carry gun. Back to my XD9 if problems continue. We'll see.

I was going to say, I dont remember participating in this. Mine has over 4000 rounds, absolutely zero problems. Maybe slight barrel peening but it stopped at a point probably within the first couple hundred and its been great since. Purchased December 2010, 1 of my 3 favorite handguns...but I only have 3
