I'm in the market for my first auto-loader. I finally decided on what I want--a Ruger SR9c. I wanted a compact American made pistol, and everyone is saying how the trigger on the new SR9c is great. I was ready to make my purchase today until I found there were two versions--stainless and a painted alloy.
Ruger's website must be off because they both weight in at 23.40oz. I'm assuming the blackened "alloy" is aluminum, although pretty much every manufactuered metal is technically an "alloy".
Does anyone know if the slide on the SR9C alloy is aluminum or plain jane steel? Further more, which version do you think would hold up better?
According to my dealer they're both the same price.
