Everything about Ruger SR9

About Ruger SR9

The SR9 model from the production of the largest US gun manufacturer is designed quite similar to other Ruger pistols. The first striker-fired Ruger pistol has a very slender profile and besides that, this model includes features such as a polymer frame with its picatinny rail, a reversible backstrap that can be flat or arched, to accommodate grip preferences, striker blocker and an internal trigger bar interlock, magazine disconnect and trigger safety.Actually, its  'semi-double-action' trigger is more technically a single-action, as it is not able to cock the pistol on its own. Basically, the trigger action is quite similar to the Glock, S&W M&P or Springfield XD. Its cartridge was introduced together with the Luger semi-automatic pistol. In 1904 this cartridge was first adopted by the German Navy and then a bit later in 1908 by the German Army.

This cartridge has since been adopted by the military of nearly each non-Communist power. It has been the most popular and also widely-used handgun cartridge worldwide. The 9mm cartridge has a bit more power than the .38 Special, but on the other side falls well short of the .357 Magnum. The SR9 model is a recoil operated pistol which shoots 9mm Luger ammunition. Maximum magazine capacity of this model is 17 rounds what is a bit more than the average pistols of the same caliber. Suitability of the SR9 for concealed carry is very subjective and difficult to quantify. Smaller handguns are usually easier to conceal but may also be more difficult to handle. The SR9 has more powerful ammunition that may have greater stopping power but will often be more difficult to fire accurately. The SR9 started to ship in October 2007, what means that it is the flagship of the Ruger SR-series. The full-size SR9 model is chambered in 9×19mm Parabellum.
