A certain pachyderm recently acquired a used Ruger SR9. When he was home doing a little dry firing, he noticed that the trigger pull weight is . . . excessive.
He hasn't used a scale to measure it, but it feels like it's at least 10 lbs. Another available sample has a much lighter trigger pull.
After a phone call to Ruger, the nominal trigger pull weight is supposed to be 5-7 lbs. Even if my guestimation is a little off, it's way over that range.
Anyone have experience with this? Does it sound like there is a problem?
Also, I've noticed that the trigger can actually be pressed without a magazine inserted. I thought the trigger was dead when the magazine is out. Could someone have removed the magazine disconnect and done something that adversely affected the trigger pull?
I have a return authorization number to send it to Ruger, but I'd prefer to not spend the money shipping it if I have a better option.
