The SR9 is BACK!

And so the story continues.

You will have to give us a full report (with pics) and a compare and contrast....... You lucky dog, you are going to own a gun from one of those famous Hollywood fellers.

....I think I am going to be sick..

Sick about the report or sick about the Hollywood thing? I WON'T forget my roots and all the little folks who have helped me on the way up.

New Avatar...nice a**.

Update: The new G&A Magazine this month has an article on the SR9 trigger "Upgrade".

They say that "Ruger will upgrade your first production SR9 for free. And not just upgrade it, but send it back with an extra magazine..... Once you notify Ruger that you have one, and you want it upgraded (and who wouldnt?), it will send you a shipping box....... When it returns, it has all the upgraded parts installed and an extra free magazine as well." - Parenthetical notes are theirs from the article.

They swoon and swoon over the new trigger, calling it "clean, crisp, with less over travel". They say it has a "shorter and easier to reach length and an improved feel". The author even says "my groups are smaller, no doubt due to the improved trigger pull".

It was interesting that in the entire two page article, they never once mentioned the world "recall", but rather repeatedly referred to it as a "free of charge upgrade". They even say that "testing by customers told Ruger that there were a few things on the SR9 that needed changing".

Exit Question: Whats wrong with this article?

 A paid point of reveiw?

What recall?

[Ichiban]

If I had know it was an "upgrade" and what that "upgrade" entailed I would not have sent mine in.  Silly me, I thought it was a safety/liability issue.  But I doubt they would have mentioned the twelve pound trigger pull.

And I would still have it and I would still like it.

But, I could not abide the new trigger so I no longer have it.

Such is life.

There's nothing to see here, people - Move along.

I don't know that we can lay this at the feet of Ruger but it is bad reporting. 

It was a SAFETY issue and should be reported that way. G&A knows the actual history and they compromised their integrity whether Ruger asked or not that is a deal killer for me as far as G&A.
