The recently launched Ruger SR9 pistol, the first striker-fired pistol from Ruger, is now available with a blackened stainless slide on either a black polymer frame or an OD Green polymer frame. The multi-step blackening process improves both the durability and corrosion resistance of the stainless-steel slide by creating a surface hardness of 68Rc. The extra-hard finish also reduces scratching and holster wear.
The 9mm Ruger SR9 pistol features 17+1 capacity with a slim grip and a narrow slide. The SR9 appeals to both left- and right-handed shooters as it features an ambidextrous frame –mounted manual safety and magazine latch, both located where 1911 users expect them to be.
The structurally rigid, recoil-reducing, glass-filled nylon frame features a unique reversible backstrap that allows owners to quickly customize the size and feel of the grip, without having to carry separate inserts or use special tools. The slim, ergonomic grip features a 17-degree grip angle and three 22 lpi checkered panels that provide a sure grip without being abrasive. The rear sight, part of the low-profile, high-visibility, three-dot sight system, is click adjustable for elevation. Both front and rear sights are drift adjustable for windage to put shooters on target with their choice of ammunition.
The Picatinny rail accepts firearm-mounted lights for target identification in all light conditions, or an easy-to-use laser. The Ruger SR9 pistol also offers an internal trigger bar interlock and striker blocker, trigger safety, magazine disconnect, and a visual and tactile loaded chamber indicator.
