I just bought an SR9c tonight. Sweet!
Notice anything wrong? 
FFFFUUUUUUUUUUU! Stress crack in trigger, from a sharp corner through the roll pin hole and all the way to the other side. It's about to fall off. Unfired, I didn't notice it in the gun shop. |

"Notice anything wrong?"~ Yeah, it's a polymer framed gun with Ruger scrolled across the slide.

I'd be pissed
 . It's a ruger, which to me means great value, and in general a great gun, don't let the elitists on this site tell you other wise. send it to ruger they'll make it right and then I'm sure you'll have a great gun!

Man, broken right from the factory. What a POS.
Can I have it?

That sucks. On a positive note, at least it didn't fall apart while using it to fight for your life.
Just for shits and grins I'd take it out and see if it will hold up to some rounds being run through it before sending it in for repairs. Maybe see if Ruger will step up and do a little something extra for your trouble. |

I would bet that's from too much dry firing at the shop, possibly without the magazine in. Too much stress on the trigger from the mag disconnect holding it forward.
Either way, Ruger will should fix it. They're good about that stuff. |

Ruger is sending a UPS label so I can mail it back.
I don't think it came from dry firing. That would hurt the striker, not a trigger. I also don't think it would fail to function as there is another half of the trigger that hasn't broken off yet. I think this was just a manufacturing defect. The plastic has a very sharp corner (a big no no) and then the guy putting it together forced the roll pin in too hard. QC should have caught it. The gun shop should have caught it. I should have caught it. Oh well, Ruger appears to be making it better. |

The magazine disconnect on my SR9 prevented the trigger from moving backward with no magazine. If you dry fire with no magazine, the trigger is extremely stiff and heavy. So, dry firing with no magazine puts additional stress on the entire trigger assembly. It's a known issue that dry firing an SR9 with no magazine will damage the trigger assembly, and ruin the trigger pull (even worse than factory). I don't think a stress crack from dry firing with no magazine is too far out there. |

Thats not how the mag disconnect works on my SR9c. Without a mag in, there is a sear block that gets in the way of the striker assembly, blocking it from hitting the primer.

The sear block prevents the striker from moving back as well, which in turn, stops movement of the trigger from "cocking" and firing the striker. I sold my SR 9 several months ago, so I don't remember exactly how it functions. But the mag disconnect definitely affects the trigger pull significantly with no magazine in the gun. And it's also confirmed that dry firing with no mag can ruin the trigger assembly on the gun. That's how I came to the conclusion above. |

Why not make the gun shop replace it(the gun).

I was considering one of these for my CCW once I get my permit, but IMO a pistol that won't fire without the magazine inserted is a no go for a serious defensive weapon. Guess I'll go Glock 26 instead. |

MD is user removable; its an option. I will take mine out when I get it back from Ruger.
They emailed me an overnight UPS label, it will be going back Monday probably. I put 100 rounds through it tonight and it didn't fall off yet. No malfunctions either. I was really impressed by how the gun performed. |
