A few years ago, I was looking for a good family "loaner" gun. The SR9 was my favorite choice out of a slew of test rental polymer nines. I thought the trigger and ergos were the best. It almost felt, to me, like a plastic Hi-Power.
So, I bought a 9E (often incorrectly called an SR9E, even by me), and have enjoyed it ever since. About the only thing I didn't like was it wasn't especially accurate.
Fast forward to this winter, and I couldn't resist the Sportsman's Warehouse $250 offer for an SR9c, even cheaper than my 9E at $300. Picked it up after a week per crappy new WA state regulations. The new gun is even better. The trigger and accuracy are improved. The c is such a soft shooter, I don't mind hanging my pinkie under the 10 round magazine. I don't think I'll be installing the extended floorplate. Only problem is, I experienced a couple of light strikes. I cleaned the striker channel; it had a lot of grit in it. I'll take it out to the range again soon to see if that solved the problem. Also, I'm curious to try the standard 17 round magazines without the SR9c grip extension, and see if they are viable backup magazines.
