I just bought a Ruger SR9 pistol to keep my R9S company. (Actually, now I can carry less stuff on my trips to the range. I'll have 9mm days, .40S&W days, and .357 Magnum days.)
The SR9 caught my eye when in first went on sale late in 2007, but I decided to wait a while until any bugs were worked out. Good move on my part - for once.
Ruger has stepped in it with the last few introductions. .22LR Mark III pistol had some issues; SR9 had the recall and major rework of the trigger system; LCP recalled for accidental discharge issue.
However, Ruger sure takes care of the issues in a responsible, professional, and customer-friendly way. And their products don't even have a written warranty.
