I’ve been holding back Ruger’s secret for two weeks now, and let me tell you, it’s been tough. I’ve seen other blog posts about them, but they’ve all been speculative. I wanted to let everyone know, but I couldn’t.
You might know thatRuger just introduced a few new handguns. Two are previously released guns in a new caliber, while the other is a new gun altogether—that’s the one I’m excited about.
The Ruger SR9c is amuch improvedSR9. The trigger is unexpectedly good. In fact, it’s so good that one of the editors joked around with our Ruger rep and asked who made the trigger for them. The new trigger is going to be put into all SR9’s from here on out. Unfortunately, you can’t retro fit your old SR9 with this new trigger.
The gun comes with a 10-round magazine with a flat buttplate and a finger grip extension floorplate if your hands are a little bigger. It also includes a 17-round magazine with a grip adapter, which increases the grip tothe same size as a standard SR9. It has new serrations on the front of the slide, a 3.5-inch barrel and an accessory rail to accommodate most lights and lasers.
All in all, the new SR9C is pretty impressive and itholds its own with many of the other concealed-carry handguns we have in our vault.
