Title: Thinking of getting a SS Ruger 9mm. Good or not so good idea?
Post by: cabin308 on April 09, 2009, 05:18:42 PM

I've been looking into the Ruger 9mm models because they are offered in stainless and have a nice price, in particular the SR9(about $450) and the P95 (about $380).  I guess my question would be to help narrow down choices for a reliable hi-cap semi-auto 9mm in stainless less than $500?

I agree. Another pistol to look at is the Steyr M9. CDNN has them for $399 right now. I got to shoot one and it is just an astounding handgun. The trigger beats the Ruger's hands down.

Ruger does have a warranty, just not written. Just read that this morning because I was checking out some info on one of their single sixes. Something to do with the laws. They do not put a warranty card in with the gun because it has been deemed "useless". My word.

I know I've never thought much of the Ruger P89's. Not sure if their pistols have improved at all.  The guys I work with that own Steyrs just rave about them.  Great price, super comfortable, and I guess they're accurate as hell!  Sounds crazy but one of the guys is currently selling his kimber sub compact, a beautiful gun. Cause he can buy two or maybe even three Steyrs for the same price.  He love em!
