I just purchased a Ruger SR9. I have not got to shoot it yet because of the weather, 0 to 10 degrees during the day (VT). Want to thank everyone for all the info on this gun, which I used when I got mine. I found that the magazine button was very stiff, I sat and watched TV with the gun in my lap working this button back and forth about 200 time and it did the trick. The magazine releases fine now. I wish that Ruger would have put a red and white dot also on the right side where the manual safety is. No problem loading the magazine with 17 round. I purchased mine for $425 at a local gun dealer. Price in my area ranged from $565 to $410, so shop around for the best deal. Will give a report, when I get to fire the gun.
