no thumb safety but states ambidextrous regarding safety. So how does the safety work?

James, this listing is incorrect. This Pistol has an Ambidextrous Manual Safety & Mag Release Button.

Will this particular weapon handle +p ammo?

Michael, yes, this Ruger is rated for +P ammunition no issue.

Richard C don't tell Buffalo Bore that there is non 40 +p ammo https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/714003317/bufflo_br_40sw+p_180gr_fmj-fn_20240

it will handle any commercial 40 S&W ammo just fine

Michael - There is no 40 +P ammo. 9mm comes in +P but not 40 S&W.

Does this come with 2 magazines and a case?

Yes it comes with (2) Magazines in a Plastic Hard Case Christopher.

this model the 3478 comes with 2 -9 round magazines plastic case and a mag loader. the model 3476 comes with 1 -9 round and 1 15 round mag with grip extension plastic case and mag loader Unless you live in a 10 round mag restricted state I suggest getting the 3476 model (that is the one I own)

The SR40c is based on the same high-performance glass-filled nylon frame as those used on the popular SR9®, SR9c® and SR40® pistols, offering the same, great ergonomic features, including a slim frame, short trigger reach, reversible backstrap, and ambidextrous controls. The SR40c® features a through-hardened, stainless steel slide or alloy steel slide with black nitride finish.

Very nice gun. Only shot a few rounds through it so far but what I have shot the gun performed perfectly. Would definitely recommend this gun to anyone looking for a 40S&W.

This is a great gun and it's really too bad Ruger discontinued it. It's not too small and handles great. It handles so nice that my wife had a great time shooting it and bought the sr9c. Now she loves shooting! To top it all off, it's a really sharp looking pistol.

Very nice compact gun and so far no problem it's my new carry gun.

Michael S on 07/21/2014

Do yourself a favor and just buy it. I have the SR9C and now the SR40C, and absolutely love them both. I saw a lot of reviews stating that the SR40C was one of the lightest recoil 40 cal handguns on the market and those reviews are spot on. Put a little over 200 rounds though it with absolutely no issues what so ever. On a side note: When I first received the firearms from Buds, I noticed that the front sight looked a little off. I tried drifting it, but eventually realized that the dovetail on the slide was cut off center. I contacted Ruger in with in 5 business days it was shipped, slide replaced, and sent back to me. There was absolutely no charge to me what so ever. Ruger picked up the shipping costs to and from, and even included a little something extra as an apology for the inconvenience. Unlike my "world renowned" Glock when the firing pin broke and had to pay for the shipping myself, Ruger made the process 100% painless. Don't get me wrong, I love the Glock reliability, but this Ruger SR40C is just as reliable and the customer service is far superior.

I picked up my Ruger at my local gun dealer in a couple days. Buying from Buds was a very good experience. The gun itself looks awesome! I disassembled it when I got home to check it out and the gun was flawless. I fired 40 rounds and it shot beautiful.
