Great pistol, weight, balance, low recoil, out of the box accurate. I’ve fired 300 rounds with no issues. One of my favorites.

Bud's had the best price for the Ruger SR9 that I coukd find. They shipped it in the time stated, and the gun arrived well packaged and in excellent shape. Since then I have purchased 2 other pistols from Bud's, and plan to buy more.

Solid gun. It worked great for conceal carry. Trigger had a little creep, but overall is a solid gun.

This handgun has a lot going for it, but in my mind it's biggest pro is the price. Very reasonable in relation to other similar firearms. This one has a decent trigger, better than any of my (9) Glocks and it is also just as accurate. All in all, its avery good handgun for the asking price.

Love this pistol, too bad Ruger is discontinuing the SR line, I thought they were the best automatic that Ruger came out with. Buds service excellent as usual

This is my third SR9. I had a 9E that I sold to someone who needed a pistol and was getting their carry permit. I had a 9c, which was excellent (but sold because I didn't need it anymore), and now this. These are very ergonomic pistols. They feel great in the hand, and the reversible rubber grip on the back adds to the comfort while shooting. The gun's trim figure also makes it easy to conceal carry which I did with my 9E back when I had it. It's not very heavy at all but it's also very manageable to shoot as far as recoil goes. I also find the gun to be very pleasing to the eye which is why I keep coming back to them. It's also been pretty reliable. My 9E didn't like aluminum ammo but this and the 9c shot that, and steel cased ammo no problem.
My only real complaint with the gun is the mag disconnect. It makes dry fire a hassle but that can be remedied or endured depending on how you want to deal with it.

Rugers SR9 is a great pistol. Ambidextrous controls and narrow grip are just right for my hands.

Always been a big fan of ruger. Great guns at good prices, especially from buds gun shop. Happy customer here and will continue to purchase from buds.

Ok, so this pistol is the ruger sr9 full sized polymer framed with a stainless steel slide and barrel. I originally purchased this pistol several years ago and had no problems with it for a couple of years of occasional use. ( I will detail problems later). The magazines have 17 round capacity which is very nice and it comes with a speed loader, also very nice. The handle is a bit slimmer than other polymer framed pistols, making it less suitable for larger handed people ( you just can’t get a good grip for control and accuracy) my wife loves it and shoots it very well with accuracy. ( due to the grip size might be best for smaller handed folks. The sr9 is a striker fired pistol, so when you rack the slide the internal striker ( hamme) is partially cocked and then when you I’ll the trigger back to fire you are actually drawing the striker back the remainder of the way before it goes bang ( making for a somewhat long somewhat hard trigger pull). Racking the slide on this particular gun is a bit harder. The slide has some aggressive serrations , and these can cut you if you are not mindful as you rack it. The gun is loaded with extra features for better or worse: there is a safety at the rear of the gun which flicks up and although it blocks the sear from releasing , I just feel that the work of disengaging this safety before shooting is a poor trade off for the safety of say cocking the hammer on a da/sa pistol. There is also a trigger safety like a glock. And there is yet another magazine disconnect safety: you have to have the magazine installed in order for the striker to proceed all of the way forward to make the gun go bang. I think the idea was so that if somebody was wrestling the gun away from you, you could, as a last resort, press the magazine release button and render the weapon harmless ( they can’t fire the loaded round without a magazine inserted). While these things might be good for someone say in law enforcement, I am thinking that for the average guy, it is just too much stuff added to the gun. There is also firing pin/striker indicator at the rear of the gun. And there is a loaded chamber indicator which pops up big and tall ( almost too tall in your line of sights). Ok, so the gun shoots well and is a really high quality ruger gun and is accurate ( when it is working). So after a few years of occasional use my gun started having problems: it was still a new gun with a few boxes of ammo shot through it probably 300 rounds or so when it would fail to return to full battery: when the slide would cycle it would chamber a new round but when you pull the trigger it would give a weak click and there would be the smallest mark on the primer. Careful observation revealed that the firing pin/striker was not resetting. In other words when the slide would go back the striker would fail to catch on the sear as the slide came forward again leaving the gun in a state of not ready to fire. Many folks have invested their wasted range trips and sent the guns back to ruger for repair and attempted all sorts of things to get their gun working correctly again. I finally decided that it just wasn’t worth the hassle and purchased another gun. After purchasing my new gun I spent a good deal of spare time with the ruger disassembled looking over the mechanism in an attempt to solve the mystery. Mine was finally solved when I found a burr on the striker up near the roll pin that holds the two parts of the striker together. My gun has worked flawlessly since this discovery and repair done by me with considerable investment in time for discovery ( easy fix, but darn hard fo discover) . So, how would I rate this gun. Hmmm, well considering that I actually gave up following years of ownership and had quite a few anti climactic trips to the range where it would fail to work ( these really do waste your hard earned free time, ). I was fine with the gun until it stopped working properly, so it was ok. And you can imagine how I was with it when I finally gave up and purchased another gun, not so good. But, having finally solved the mystery, to my satisfaction, I am once again ok with the sr9. It has finally come full circle and demonstrated itself to perform as I believe that ruger originally intended for it to do. At the current price in the 280 range it is a very high quality weapon, but you might have to invest some time and effort to bring it full circle. Best of luck to you. I would rate it a one but then I fixed it and now it is nice.so I dunno?

I was a little concerned about buying a gun online. My emails and chats with Buds made the process sound so simple? I contacted one of their local FFL people from the list and he also confirmed everything would be just that easy. I placed my order and picked it up a few days later at the FFL. Its so easy and as with many items, the online price saved me money. I highly recommend Buds and their process. VERY PLEASED!

I haven’t ever had a problem with any of my other Rugers but just picked up my new SR9 today from my dealer.
Using American Eagle 124 grain FMJ almost every round failed! Out of two 16 round clips I was only able to shoot two or three rounds without having to manually clear jams or spent rounds that did’t eject.
I always expect a couple of FTF on q new pistol; but this was very disturbing and makes me think I may have a defective pistol.

Very nice pistol. When I look at buying a firearm it has to look good to me. Firearms are a work of art. Shoots soft and straight. Very hard to rack the slide.

This is a great gun! It r fits my hand and is very accurate all the way out to 45 yards. It is now my go to for target shooting and plinking. Great service and fast shipping from Bud's as expected.

Great older pistol at a great price! I shot a friend's SR9 and decided I needed to add one to my collection. Upon arriving home I did some research about availability and found Bud's. They not only had them in stock but at a great price! Ordered and my local FFL received it in a timely manner. Very pleased and I am quite sure I will be using Bud's Gun Shop again in the near future.

Purchased sr 9 for a really good price. Delivered as advertised in good condition. This is my second sr9 and they are excellent weapon.

My works flawlessly so far with no jams or feed issues. That being said, the delivery took longer than I would have expected based on the glowing reviews I had read about your quick shipping.

This was a great purchase. My Ruger is just what all the reviews said it would be: comfortable, reliable, and accurate. The purchase through Bud's was perfect...they even called to verify my shipping address because it had changed due to a relocation. The delivery and pickup from my FFL (Bud's Pawnshop) was also smooth and easy.

Im no shooting pro and dont shoot tons of targets so that being said, I opened up my package an pulled out an awesome weapon. After getting acquainted with my new Ruger SR9 I loaded her up and took her to the farm. To me its a great pistol and you hit the bullseye repeatedly. I would recommend this pistol to any of my friends and my uncle all ready wants one after shooting it.Whoever reads this I hope it helps you decide to buy one and you enjoy it just as much.
