Glock G20 or Ruger SR9?

[Area 51]

A perfectly reasonable response.

Omega Man Rocky. I can just picture it.

Congrats on the move!! Glad you are in a "more american" area now..honestly I haven't had the opportunity to get any trigger time behind the Ruger, I have owned several P series in the past...not a bad weapon. However I have quite a few glocks, and run them in competition and the like for many years now...you just can't go wrong with a glock..The XD is highly recomended as well. I do not own one, but have spent sometime throwing lead with one I have always walked away very impressed. I think is was Rob that said to go and handle them, see what fits you best. That is the best advice I could give you, most indoor ranges will allow you to rent various weapons so that may be the best starting block. Sounds like you have enough experience with firearms so you know what YOU need to have in the weapon, my experience is my rugers were good guns, I just have never even thought of getting another since owning a glock, and see better choices out there than the SR9. My .02....

Holy crap, Mark with a gun?

Clearly, they didn't check this board during his background check.

Glock 23 here, in .40 S&W. 13+1. I like it. I also have (had, daughter has it, won't give it back) a Ruger P89DC, 9mm, 16+1. I like it, too. The Ruger is too big for CC, but the Glock is fine for daily carry.

I substitute a Keltec P3AT in .380 ACP because it's very concealable, or sometimes a Taurus Model 85 ultralight revolver in .38 Special.

Better to have it and not need it...

Got ammo? I do.

Not really a 380 fan but there's a block of ballistic at my local shop with 380 +p and 45...the +p went deeper. I understand there's more to it but that suprised me. I have a chart some where that show 380(regular old fmj), almost as fast as 9mm. But I carry 40 and 45 so what do I know....that and the 5.56 ar pistol I carry in a backpack from time to time its a shitty barrel for the 5.56, but its 30 rounds through that shitty barrel

Some laws are just plain dumb. Similar to the ones against dildoes or B-phucking . It's a strange, strange world, isn't it? Ruled by strange, strange people.

Ever wonder why the government considers cannabis to be in the same category as HEROIN ? And they expect people to respect their rules?

It sure is surprising how some people go on and on about how bad government is and then they stand behind its idiotic decisions like a good comrad. It's one big joke. I don't take any of this BS seriously. I know what I like. I know what the risks are. I know what the benefits are. I make my decision. Like a big boy would. Once again, let freedom ring!

Jackie Onassis could attest to that.

The limo driver for Jayson Williams can't though:

"The shooting happened Feb. 14, 2002, while Williams gave friends and members of the Harlem Globetrotters a tour of his mansion in Alexandria Township.
According to testimony, Williams, who had a skeet-shooting range on his 65-acre estate, took a loaded shotgun from a cabinet in the master bedroom. He turned, uttered an expletive at Christofi, possibly in jest, and then snapped the weapon shut, and it went off, according to testimony.
Christofi was struck in the chest and died within minutes. Williams dropped to his knees and wailed, “Oh my God! Oh my God!” and “My life is over,” according to witnesses.
getCSS("3053751") WILLIAMS TRIAL
Charges Jayson Williams faced
— Aggravated manslaughter (30 years) — Not guilty
— Reckless manslaughter (10 years) — No decision
— Possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose (10 years) — Not guilty
— Aggravated assault (18 months) — Not guilty
— Hindering apprehension (5 years) — Guilty
— Tampering with witnesses (5 years) — Guilty
— Tampering with evidence (18 months) — Guilty
— Fabricating physical evidence (18 months) — Guilty

Charges listed with maximum prison sentence and verdict


Witnesses testified that Williams wiped the gun down, then put it in Christofi’s hands. The former basketball star stripped naked, pushed his clothes into the arms of a friend, told him to get rid of them, and took a swim in his indoor pool before police arrived.
Four Globetrotters testified with immunity, after initially telling police they were downstairs at the time of the shooting — a cover story they said Williams demanded. Two of Williams’ friends pleaded guilty to evidence tampering and testified."

Athletes are good for the strangest happenings.

if you havnt decided yet i have the sr9 in od green, first thing i can say is it isnt balanced as well as a 1911 but, it is slim, and in 250rds in one day not one ftf or jam. adjustable sights and reversable back strap make it nicer and after i cleaned the hell out of it (full strip) and put some miltec in it it was far smoother. but i still dont like it.my buddie ruined it for me by letting me shoot his kimber sis. i keep it in the gunsafe to make the safe heavier.

The xd like all modern semi's use a MAGAZINE, a clip is something your local Hood uses or is short for stripper clip, used to load a MAGAZINE. Or it is used to hold papers together.
