Shot my new SR9 for the first time today at popguns range in Indy. First time I had been there, and first time shooting in about 15 years! Was very fun. I walked in about 12:30 and was pleasantly surprised to find there was no wait. Only a few other shooters- maybe because of the Colts game?
I shot about 125 rounds. A mix of cheap reloaded 115gr fmj and remington hollow points. Had about 6 or 7 failure to fires. A few times I think it was me limp wristing and the slide not going back all the way forward. Other times it looked like the striker had impacted the rounds fine. I reloaded these rounds and the 2nd time they went bang no problem, so I don't know. Maybe this is just normal break in.
I'm definitely no sharp shooter, but I hit the paper every time so feel pretty good about my basic ability if I ever need to shoot for life or death. Definitely need mucho more practice and time with this gun to truly know it. Once we get a nice weekend day I will go try shooting outside at Wilbur Wright with some more varied ammo types. Also plan to bring the wife in the future.
