So I went to my local range today and tried out a new pistol. The Ruger SR9. It was pretty accurate and felt good in my hand. I liked it.



I like this Ruger and wouldn't mind trying out the SR1911 sometime. Anyone have one of these? Anyone have a Ruger? Like them? Thoughts?

(Pillows aren't mine btw)

 

I don't but appreciate your post.
Do you have any military surplus? If you do, check out Milsurps.com
regards, Jim

 

I have a ruger, but it's not a pistol though. I like the one I have, I think if you get a ruger you will be pleased with it.

 

It depends on what you want the sr9 for. If its a carry gun, then I would look into the kahr cw or pm45. They make very nice guns and you have to love the 45. They are just as conceable. I have the ruger lcp for a back up carry gun while my main carry is a glock 30sf or kahr cw45, depending on my attire. Ruger does make very dependable weapons, however the first production sr9s did have a recall. Iam a part time gun dealer, so I like to think I know what I'm talkin about lol.
As far as the sr1911, its just ruger putting there stamp on the standard 1911. A nice pistol, however you should look into a taurus pt1911. It comes from the factory with a lot of bells and whistles and is a very nice shooter.

 

I have 6 or 7 Rugers, but no SRs. I've heard pretty good reviews of them, just can't figure out a good excuse for buying a fourth 1911 right now.
Been thinking about the SR9 for a while, too. Kept getting distracted by Sigs last year so don't have one of those either.

 

yeah right tib you know them are your pillows lol

 

I got a kp97d

I just wanna know where you got the pic of me and why you shootin it up, lol

 

Huh? The first line confused me a bit. But we have one or two surplus stores down here.

Whatcha got Thog?

I'll definitely check out the Taurus pt1911. I really like the looks of the gun. But I want to buy something in a few months to a year that could go well with a concealed carry. Any suggestions I should look into?

Naw lol. Do you like them?

LOL. Craigslist man. You can get anything off Craigslist. =P

 

I have 3 rugers and like them all if you are interested in Ruger's check out Ruger Forum | Ruger Forum for Ruger Guns Firearms
rugerforum.net pretty good bunch of guys there and real helpful with problems if you ever have any

 

As for 1911's you should look in to one that is mil-spec. I have built 3 1911's in the last year for myself 45 ACP, 9mm and 38 super.
if you get one that is mil-spec you will alway be able to get parts for it and a lot more custom parts are available. not all 1911's are mil-spec.
my 9mm is for steel challenge matches, 38 super for IDPA and the 45 ACP because I had one when I was in the army.
