little side note, I wanted the OD Green over brushed stainless but that's not an option.

[Scottcba1 8]

Didnt think so since I havent seen one! That would would look cool though.

M&P or XD9

[Scottcba1 8]

M&P or XD9

 

Are you asking which would I choose?

 

-Scott

[Ray Ray 3,566]

M&P or XD9

 

XD9 of course.

[Scottcba1 8]

I did like the XD-9 a lot. Two things that helped me pick the SR9.

 

First was the price difference. But the XD-9 does come with lots of goodies when buying new.

 

Second, the safety in the handle. I do like a gun with a safety but it was a bit overbearing. I guess like anything I could get use to it.

The XD's come with a safety now, in the same spot as the SR9.

[Scottcba1 8]

The XD-9 I rented at SS had a safety on the backside of the handle that you had to compress with your grip right between your thumb and index finger.

 

It was ok while firing but was weird for the mag release and pulling back the slide.

The XD has a grip safety like a 1911. never been an issue for me.

[Ray Ray 3,566]

Me neither, and the new XD's have the safety in the same spot as an SR9. Which is in the same spot, kinda, as a 1911.

[tbtrout 141]

I guess everyone wants a thumb safety on plastic now.

Oh ok so the newer XDm9s have the safety built into the trigger like the SR9? I only shot the older XD-9. I liked the gun a lot I would have had to get use to the safety configuration thats all.

 

Before I shot the SR9 the XD-9 was my first choice for purchase.

After a co-worker obtained his first firearm, he said he "stroked" it for a while when he got home. Did you do the same thing? Anyway, don't you love those horrible 10 round mags?

Have fun with her Scott.

[Scottcba1 8]

LOL I sure did! I loaded and unloaded the mags and loaded the gun and manually cleared it. I also took the gun apart to see the internals. Now I will shoot it this weekend for the first time.

 

The 10 rd magazines are terrible! The plastic extention on the bottom feels so flimzy.

I am waiting on two more permits as well.....TJ's has a couple nice 357 revolvers.

Bumping an old thread. I've been reseaching this Ruger SR9 for days now. Many hours spent online reading the reviews and looking at videos. I think this SR9 may quite possibly be my next purchase, pending how it feels in my hand. For those of you who have this, how has it been over the long-term? Still love the gun?
