trading for S&W M&P 9mm or Ruger SR40C? need advice

[CindyE]

Today we were at Sears, and just happened to start discussing guns with one of the employees, and he has the SR9C and had the same issues. All of this gun researching has got me thinking i want to get a 9mm friend for my .38!

My SR9C issues - Ruger Forum I've already seen this, but if some of you haven't, you might want to take a look. I'm not knowledgeable enough to criticize Ruger all that much, but I think there's enough problems to be concerned.

cindy just so you are aware. the reason people change the triggers out on m&p pistols is 2 reasons. first, out of the box sometime a standard m&p will have a gritty trigger feel. it feels like there is sand in the trigger. it usually works itself out in 1000 shots. you also have the option to ***** at s&w and they will take your pistol back and fix that if you want to... the other thing people sometimes dislike is the trigger reset not being defined. this is why you see people going for the apex trigger. i have shot the apex trigger and i will say its nice... but not nice enough for me to switch out what i have which is working great for me... dry fire the pistol you intend to buy at the shop quite a few times...

I had an SR9c, it is the only gun I regret selling. Id like an SR40c when they become a bit more available.

I have the Ruger SR9c. I have carried it in a Kholster every single day since February. It's accurate enough, the trigger is great, and I only had one ftf in the first 10 rounds. I have at this point has 550 rounds through it, and not a single problem since. I trust my life to that pistol every day.

Personaly, if size is a concern, I would look at the M&P9 compact. I'm personaly not a fan of Ruger semi-autos.

I actually prefer the ergos of the SR9c.

Either gun should serve you well, however.

There range where I live has a rental program, so I’ve been lucky enough totry both the m&p and the SR series weapons. Personally I would take theM&P, and I can tell you I have used both to the tune of 2k rounds and Ishot much better with the M&P and have not had any issues.
