Another busy day

Again I have another heavy work day so I won't be posting again until the evening. I leave you with this:

This is the Ruger SR9. Here are the specs. from the Ruger website:

** Weighs 26.5 oz., in a package of just 5.52" H x 7.55" L x 1.27" W

** Reliable, striker-fired ignition

** Easy, "Semi-Double Action" trigger-pull - 6.5 pounds.

** 17+1 Capacity. (Note: 17-round magazines are not available in all states and locales; 10-round magazines are available where required to meet state and local regulations limiting magazine capacity.)

** Chambered in 9mm Parabellum (9mm x 19).

** Short trigger reach.

** Unique reversible backstrap (flat or arched) to accommodate grip preferences.

** Slim, ergonomic grip features a 17-degree grip angle and three, 22 lpi checkered panels that provide a sure grip without being abrasive.

** Patented Ruger camblock helps absorb recoil.

** High-visibility 3-dot sight system is click adjustable for elevation and drift adjustable for windage.

** Picatinny rail accepts modern sighting devices (lights, lasers, etc.).

** Ultra-slim stainless steel slide.

** Ambidextrous magazine release.

** Ambidextrous 1911-style manual safety.

** Internal trigger bar interlock and striker blocker, trigger safety, and magazine disconnect.

** Visual and tactile loaded chamber indicator.

** Suggested retail price of just $525, including hard case, extra magazine, magazine loader, padlock, and instruction manual.

I don't know anything about this pistol other that what I've read on the Ruger site. It looks interesting but I would want to handle and shoot one before making up my mind. I'm not a fan of the 9MM, but I would expect a .40 S&W to be available soon as that is becoming the new standard for police and civilian self defence.

Anybody who owns one, has shot one or even handled one at the gun store feel free to leave your impressions in the comments.

See you all this evening.
