A lot of people don't like 'em due to the numerous safety features. The SR9 is one of the thinnest full-sized 9mm's out there, tho. The SR22 is a really fun plinker, too.
There were plenty of LE using p series rugers back in the day. Idk why the SR series hasn't been adopted by any LE that I know of though. My SR45 is an absolute tack driver
I would guess, judging by Ruger's latest survey, the SR45c is a strong possibility. It would certainly... positively...make my short list.I read a review by Mas Ayoob, who found it (SR45) to be quite accurate, surprising him with its performance. I have heard that there may be a compact version in the future? I think I would jump on one of those...

Ruger has a sort of odd reputation. Everybody agrees that they are ...
If an SR45c come out I'd be really tempted to buy one especially if the price is as attractive as the fullsized.
Idk exactly. Lots of LE used the p series rugers years ago though.
Agency price for Glock may be cheaper than what you might pay for an SR series
To incorporate how to work an additional thumb lever and magazine disconnect invovles pioneering a new doctrine,
Remember, the thumb lever does not increase safety. It only changes the dynamics involved in how safety is achieved.
Excellent post.WE can't buy a Glock at the "agency" price, either.
Isn't that more like returning to an older format, rather than pioneering anything? The older S&W guns also had mag disconnects, and safeties.
Not true. There are enough Glock firing into the legs of police officers, and DEA agents to make one wonder if a safety wouldn't make more sense than the faulty training that is the standard today amongst LEOs.
A number of instructors also seem to feel that safeties are useful against gun grabs, and being shot with the resulting use of what was originally your weapon.
I find it less than amusing that people claim a safety can't be taught to be used, or that it "slows down the presentation", yet expect the various antics involved in retention holsters to somehow be easier, and more natural a motion to use. It simply doesn't work that way. Either the people can learn, as they did not too long ago, or they will be unsafe with ANY combination.
CCW carriers, not using any type of retention holster, should think about the use of a safety equipped firearm.
None of my SR series Rugers have a "bad" trigger. They are easily superior to the issue Glock 22s that the Police carry around here. They also point better. The last two comments came from members of the City, County, and GSP.
Read what I was addressing. I was specifically addressing the comment about comparison to S&W 3rd Gen in law enforcement.Posted by JR47:

No. Unless SR series have a DA/SA trigger, which it does not.Isn't that more like returning to an older format, rather than pioneering anything? The older S&W guns also had mag disconnects, and safeties.

It does good in some situaions, not in others.A number of instructors also seem to feel that safeties are useful against gun grabs, and being shot with the resulting use of what was originally your weapon.
Did I claim any of that?I find it less than amusing that people claim a safety can't be taught to be used, or that it "slows down the presentation", yet expect the various antics involved in retention holsters to somehow be easier, and more natural a motion to use.
