[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Ruger SR9 trigger pull

Posted: 9/11/2010 4:07:22 PM EDT

I just got a chance to read the new American Rifleman magazine, and in it they reviewed the SR9.

Needless to say, they loved the ergo's of the piece, however, I did note the trigger pull was listed as 10 lbs. Was this a misprint? is it really 10 lbs?

Any owners out there, and if so, can you confirm or deny this claim? I am kinda heartbroken cause this is a showstopper for me. thanks for the help!

The SR9's trigger is pretty awful.

It sure doesn't feel ten pounds to me.

I shoot Glocks mainly, and an XD.

I actually just got an SR9C and really like it! Shoots well. Nice sights, ergos, etc. For $400 can't be beat, IMO.

I'm not a fan of the SR9 trigger, but 10lbs is a bit high, IMO. The ones I've shot were not that heavy.

Go over rugerforum.com and see what they think and how they deal with smoothing up the trigger.

With the magazine disconnect in, it might be close to 10 lbs.

You can improve the trigger substantially by removing the disconnect and it gets smoother with use.

I shot a friend's and the trigger was awful. Very heavy and gritty. Could easily have been 10 lbs.

I bought an SR9 back BEFORE the recall and I liked the gun. The trigger was decent and it shot well. I got word of the recall and sent it in. When it returned , The trigger SUCKED.
I liked the gun so I tried to get used to the change. I never did and sold the gun and will never own another.

The trigger has been updated again and the new ones are much better. I sold mine last year because of the trigger. The new ones are good enough I would purchase one again. It's back on par with a Glock or other striker-fired guns.

When the SR9C was released, it had an improved trigger, which is now on the new SR9s that are being produced.

There ain't no way the SR9 has a 10 pound trigger pull.

It felt strange to me at first because it was my first striker-fired
pistol, but it ain't THAT bad.

And, yes, once the mag safety is disconnected, the trigger pull is
better.
