RUGER SR9 COMPACT REVIEW

If you're looking for a great carry gun that's easy to conceal, dependable and rugged then look no further than the Ruger SR9c.

We believe that it is one of the best compact handguns in the market today with safety features and an adjustable triple dot system, setting it apart from other compacts that rely on fixed sights.

The SR9c has a 1.27" slim grip just like the full-sized SR9 and comes with two 10-round magazines with the second magazine featuring a grip adapter. It's available in two models: the SR9c Brushed Stainless and the SR9c Blackened alloy. Even for such a compact pistol, it features a rail that can accommodate  standard lasers or lights. what is also a good feature of this handgun is visual and tactile loaded chamber factor.

The SR9c compact pistol gives customers a very comfortable carry option in a reliable, 9mm platform. Incorporating the best features of the full-sized SR9, the SR9c offers an even smaller, more concealable option, ideal for discreet carry. The SR9c compact pistol weighs 24 oz. and features an overall length of 6.875", a height of 5.00", and the same slim 1.27" grip width as the full-sized SR9. It comes with two magazines that provide options in both capacity and grip size. The standard magazine holds 10 rounds and features a flat bottom butt plate; a finger grip extension floor plate also is included. The second magazine features a grip adapter and holds 17 rounds, instantly transforming the smaller, compact grip into a full-sized 9mm grip. The 3.50" barreled pistol features an integral accessory rail that accommodates most lights and lasers.

The Ruger SR9c compact pistol utilizes the same adjustable, high-visibility 3-Dot sight system as its full-sized predecessor, setting it apart from many compact pistols that offer only fixed sights. New serrations are located on the front portion of the slide, making it easier to both manipulate the slide and to press check the chamber. The SR9c features a glass-filled nylon frame and through-hardened slide in either a brushed stainless or blackened finish. It also is available with two, 10 round magazines for those states or locales that limit magazine capacity.

Just like the original, full-sized SR9, the SR9c is loaded with modern safety features like a 1911-style ambidextrous manual safety, internal trigger bar interlock and striker blocker, trigger safety, magazine disconnect, plus a visual and tactile loaded chamber indicator.

If you're looking for a high quality, inexpensive handgun that is easy to conceal, wonderfully simple to shoot and dependable we strongly recommend this excellent Ruger firearm.  Average cost is around $450.00 and discounts are generally available through your local firearm dealer.
