Well Rastus have you fired it yet?? What do you think?

Bidah,
I put 350-400 rounds flawlessly, without a failure, through it yesterday evening (sure like that 9MM when it comes to price). This is the first striker type gun I've owned...I much prefer the trigger on SA/DA's but I see a real place for this in concealed carry without having to mess with the manual safety. I also put 150-200 rounds through a .40 CZ 75B and a similar amount through a Browning BDA in .380.
I shot better groups with the CZ & BDA...but they don't have triggers that cock the striker so you would expect that. The CZ jammed 4 or 5 times...DANG...but I think it was the bullet shape on the Winchester white box ammo (any other CZ owners have similar experience with the "triangular" looking bullets?).
I need to put a few more through the SR9 from a rest giving it time to cool. It may have a zero change as the barrel heats....I'm not certain it could have been me...but it sure looked like it. I seemed to shoot better groups when the barrel was hot. Next time I'll verify wandering zero....this time was to put rounds through it to loosen it up. Still not as smooth as I'd like so...I'll try another 100 or so soon.
I picked up an FNP9 for the same price as the SR9....not a striker though...all the controls on it were silkly smooth...not like the SR9 after 350-400 shots. I'm going to pick up an FNP in a few weeks...it doesn't have the nice single-stack feel the SR9 has...but it is really light....if I could have one and the striker wasn't an issue to have for concealed carry, without shooting it I'm liking the FNP. I've several Rugers (10+) and some FN products....the FN's I have are all smoother and slicker than any of the Ruger's I've purchased. Hence the reason several Vaquero's are headed to Bob Munden soon.
