Everyone's got their own opinion. The SR9C is fine for carry, with either the 10 or 17 round magazines.

Heck, I carry it along with my Springer XDS, so I don't agree with whoever your "many" are.

Since you are only 21 posts in, I can also assume that you are new to CHL and carrying.

Trust me - No matter what gun you carry, the longer you carry it, the smaller and lighter it becomes. It's MAGIC!! :-)

After you carry 1 gun for a while, you will then decide that it's time for a BUG (BackUp Gun).
Instead of carrying 1 gun with a backup mag or 2, you may wish to carry 2 loaded guns and skip the extra mags.
It's all good.

The SR9C is one of my 2 EDC's and there are 2 different holsters that I use.

If I must use a pocket holster, I use a Blackhawk Size 4. An Uncle Mike's size 4 works too.

If I don't need to pocket carry, my preferred holster is a Bianchi Carry-Lok, model 82. This is an OWB rig.
The one I use was originally for my Taurus PT111, but is marked on the back of the holster as "Glock 26".

The Carry-Lok has a great retention device that grips onto the trigger guard.
Advantages to this: Foolproof retention of the weapon and once you use it a few times, the draw is easy.

Although I did not research my particular model of Bianchi regarding all pistols that it would fit, I can carry my
Ruger SR9C or my Springfield XDS in the same holster. The trigger is covered when holstered, and the holster will
accomodate both the Ruger's 10 round and 17 round mags. It will also accomodate both the 5 round and 7 round XDS mags.
