I will be in the market for a 9mm as soon as New York gets around to processing my CCW application, and after reading this thread i have been reading everything I can find online about the SR9 and it looks pretty good.

One thing I am curious about, I have seen a few places where people say that the slide doesn't lock open after the last round is fired. Those of you that have experienced the gun, is this true? Is that unusual for a gun of this type? I have only fired a few handguns, and the slide on them all stayed open when the gun was emptied.

What prices have you seen for an SR9? I have seen people online mentioning $380 - $500.


I got the money set aside, and I'm just sitting here waiting on the permit from the state... I'm like a kid the night before Christmas, except the night lasts for months!
