Was thinking along the same lines there! I think having to switch out the magazine to get a good amount of rounds through it would be a bother, but hey, that's a good excuse to get extra magazines.

I decided to reply on my thread again, not only to thank everyone for expressing their opinions of the Ruger SR22, but to ask another question.

Does anyone have any comments about the Ruger SR9c ? Link to Spec sheet. : http://www.ruger.com/products/sr9c/specSheets/3313.html
I ask because my hubby decided not to wait to get his 9mm, and today we took it to the range to practice. It is a springfield armory XDS 9mm.


I was amazed at how little the recoil was. I found that it had me less fazed than the kick from (now "my") old Ruger .380. If the Ruger 9mm's will be similar to SA9 then I think I'd be very pleased to own/carry a 9mm vs the 22. (As I'm sure some of you are happy to hear!)
He is in love with the feel of the gun, and tried out many before deciding on it. I really like the safety features, but for some reason I think the Ruger just felt better in the hand. The SR9c seems to have a similar trigger safety, which is nice, and from my quick reading it looks like it might be possible to get a 17 rd magazine for it? The wording on the webpage seems a bit strange to me. I'd love for it to be able to carry more than 10 rds, if for nothing else it'd be nice not to have to reload every two minutes when on the range.

We live on the northern side of Houston, and yes, we do plan on going out to try various guns before purchasing. My hubby would like to get himself a 9mm before long (going up from a hand-me-down Ruger .380), and I will be giving the idea of getting a .380 or 9mm some serious thought. Honestly, I'm really liking the ideal of carrying a 9mm. It just depends on wither or not I can handle it. But until we have the chance to do that, I'd just like to try and find out more about the brands of guns available. Since the Ruger 22 was the one that first peaked my interest, I figured I'd ask about it.

(( I have been wonderfully advised about the cons of choosing a 22 in this topic, so I truly am not trying to brush it off here. My first post :: viewtopic.php?f=23&t=71611 ))

Hello again everyone! Dropping in to ask another question. Last time I asked here I got great feedback so why not see what everyone's opinions are concerning this brand of gun.

Now of course I do remember everyone's advice about trying out some larger handguns, and I still plan on doing so, however I've managed to convince my Husband that the best gun for me is a gun that I'll carry without fear. Even if it isn't the "ideal". He has agreed that if I decided to, he will be okay with me getting a .22 cal pistol. (At least until I'm more comfortable with something larger. And hey, it'll make a great practice gun when/if I upgrade.)

So until we actually have a chance to head out to a range or group to try out some larger handguns, I want to do some research into quality brands/names/models. I've often read good things about Ruger in general, and squirm every time I read about Walther due to very common negative reviews. But are the reviews I've been reading accurate? Basically, the question I'm trying to ask is, does anyone here own/use a Ruger SR .22? How is it's durability?

And on a similar line of thought, what is the best "Brand" to go with when shopping for guns? (Generally speaking, I know that choice is very personal and everyone is going to have different preferences, but what are yours?)
