I was coming back from the girl friends house this morning and decided to stop in at the local Scheel's store before I went home, if for nothing else than to BS with a buddy there that is the reloading department manager. I'm on a mission to get a few striker fired 9mm pistols for a head-to0head shoot when I managed to spy a strange Ruger in the case. It's apparently one of the Gander Mountain specials that was being sold. It was as filthy as a liberal's lie but didn't look like it's been abused so I had to take it home with me...and give my buddy the credit for the sale! Hey, Marines stick together, right?
Anyways, got it home, cleaned it up and started on making it dirty again with a few rounds of Russian steel case ammo and some Winchester white box 115 grain ammo as well. So far, the function is 100% and I plan to put her on paper tomorrow.
One thing I am finding about the SR9 is the lack of aftermarket support. Mine came with 3 mags and I know I can get more from Midway if she turns out to be a keeper. There are night sights out there as well but not really a lot else. I would like to get a decent holster (preferably Kydex) in FDE and while Blade Tech would be my go-to choice, they only sell them in black. Not a total deal breaker but I would love it if G-Code made a holster for the SR9 but they don't make one for it at all!
so who else should I look at as far as getting a holster for this thing? I know there's a lot of kydex makers out there but I don't want to fork out money on junk and prefer to stick with makers with a good reputation.
Oh, and as for it's competition, it's a work in progress but so far she will be going up against my M&P9, H&K VP9 and Steyr M9-A1. I am still missing a Walther PPQ and while I have a Glock 19, I figure a Gen 3 Glock 17 should be in my future as well. Hehehe, looks like I'll be dealing with 2 Austrians, 2 Germans, and 2 Americans all going at it by the time it's all said and done.
