my first handgun

[justonemore]

I have the black sr9c as well. I bought the full size sr9 and 8 months later got a compact. The full size is for sale since I haven't shot it in over a year.
My hands are on the small side, and I can shoot the 9c better than the full size. Think seriously about reloading if you plan on shooting more than a box or 2 a month. Reloads run me about $7.50 a box.
The best advice I can give you I read in a magazine. COMPETE!!!! You will find a bunch of good, friendly shooters that can help you immensely.
Have fun.

Thanks for all the advice guys. Hearing everyone talk so highly of the sr9c makes me even more anxious to get it and try her out myself. All the good talk about it is the reason I made it my pick for my first handgun.

Ruger makes great guns. You made a good choice in the sr9c. It is one of many on my wish list. I currently have the Ruger SR40. I just don't understand the 4 month waiting period until you can get the gun into your hands. Good shooting.
