My SR9 has finally come home.
Few things:
- Trigger pull is a bit heavier, I think. No gauge to measure. Not horribly so, unless you're a tuned-1911 snob
- Pull distance and reset are MUCH shorter. I was happy with them before, but they're even better now. Reset is very positive.
- My slide was replaced due to something I had them look at. The cuts on the inside of the slide are a bit different than I remember. Couple of minor casting imperfections, but not on any mating surface. The fit to the frame seems to be much tighter. I like.
- Mag disconnect spring seems a bit stiffer. Sucker still came right out, and is resting in the gun's case, where it belongs.
- Unless I REALLY fixate on it, the trigger-safety-blade-thing isn't really bothering me at all. I hardly notice it.
- Supposedly, the striker assembly is different, but it looks the same to me. Maybe a little cleaner
- Free hat. Kinda cheap. Black ball cap, with red and white embroidering, saying "The Ruger SR9". The free IDPA hat was nicer. But hey...free hat.
- Free mag! Most excellent. And I'm not stuck with one of those silly 10-rounders, either.
- I swear the new slide is a little bit lighter in weight.
I'll be dryfiring the hell out of this thing for a bit. Not sure when I'll be able to get to the range to put some live rounds through, but hopefully, soon. For now, I'm going to enjoy the weight that's been missing from my hip for far too long.
