Okay, I made that up…but wouldn’t that be great?<\/p>\n

I may be onto a million dollar idea<\/em><\/strong> here!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Yesterday I picked up my Remington R1 1911<\/a>. “You got another<\/em> 1911?” my Sweetie asked incredulously? Not another<\/em> 1911, I said, but one with a totally different name roll-marked on the slide! “Well,” she said, “that certainly explains it!” I think I detected a note of sarcasm in her voice.<\/p>\n

I will say it is one beautiful gun. Fans of retro will be blown away. I might be able to get to the range today and out some rounds through it.<\/p>\n

Caleb has a long piece on the Ruger SR9c compac<\/a>t, the gun he’s using in his Quest for Master Class<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I received a PM from a friend at the Indiana Gun Owners forum about how I\u2019m liking the Ruger SR9c that I\u2019ve been shooting in the Quest for Master Class at DownRange.TV (latest episode here<\/a>). So far, I really like the Ruger SR9c \u2013 as I\u2019ve said in all my pieces on DRtv, it\u2019s easy to shoot, easy to conceal, and generally a good gun. But let\u2019s look at some specifics about the little 9mm. First off, it\u2019s not really a little gun, but it\u2019s not a big gun either. In terms of size, it\u2019s smaller than a Glock 19, but bigger than a Glock 26. That\u2019s nice, because it has a little bit more gun to hold on to than a Glock 26 when you\u2019re actually shooting the thing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ruger SR9 Compact<\/p><\/div>\n

The whole Ruger SR9 project has been pretty interesting to watch. I got an advance one, went through the GUNSITE 250 pistol class with it and stacks of 9mm Hornady self-defense ammo, had zero failures and shot pretty much the same score as I’d shot with a 1911. I made 2 changes on the pistol ay GUNSITE \u2014 I removed the little dohickey that enabled the magazine safety and I put some electric red nail polish on the front sight, a concession to my old eyes. I’ve had 2 of the post-recall guns, and the triggers are quantum better than Ver. 1.0. The SR9c has the best trigger yet, is accurate, easy to shoot, light and best of all THIN!<\/p>\n

Yet the SR9 series of pistols<\/a> has taken a huge amount of heat, largely from people, largely from people who haven’t shot one (or, heck, haven’t even seen<\/em> one). Yeah, the manual safety \u2014 a feature I really like \u00a0on striker-fired safe-action style pistols \u2014 is a little hard to engage. It is, however, very easy to disengage<\/em>. The magazines have gotten easier to load over the generations, but 17 rounds in a new, narrow magazine can be a challenge.<\/p>\n

I’ve been carrying the SR9c and I like it…10 + 1 9mm, thin, light and accurate…what’s not to like? The only thing that keeps me from exchanging my Sig Sauer 226 9 mm bedroom gun for a Ruger is the Crimson Trace LaserGrips on the Ruger. My cherubs and seraphim tell me that the CT for the Ruger is under development… soon…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
