Ruger SR40 40SW, Stainless Slide, 15RD Mag

The only reason I did not give this handgun a 5 was because the trigger is not quite as good as a Glock. I read many reviews on this gun before making a purchase. These reviews were, for the most part, on sites other than Impact Guns. Most of the reviews wailed and moaned about the poor trigger on the SR40. Grsnted, it's not as crisp as a Glock, but it is not the piece of crap that many reviewers wrote it is. It does have a bit of travel, but the trigger is easy, slick and clean. I recently had a chance to test a Springfield Armory handgun of similar in design to the Ruger SR40. The Sprinfield is a nice, good quality weapon which costs quite a bit more than the Ruger, but I prefer the trigger on The Ruger hands down. The Ruger has no feed problems, it is comfortable and easy to handle. The take-down and reassembly[for cleaning] is very simple. I do not see the added slide weight as a negative. When I was looking for a gun for personal defence I did not want to trust my life to a weapon that I thought might blow up in my face. Ruger has a long reputation of making quality weapons for a price that a working person can afford. The SR40 is no exception to this rule. I am confident the SR40 will do it's job if needed. I would have no reservations about buying another one. Well done Ruger! P.S. Impact Guns had the best prices I could find anywhere!

500 rounds no malfunctions. Shoots great right out of the box. Built to last, very dependable. Heavier slide makes a world of difference. Feels incredible in hand. Quality made in USA firearm.

This weapon puts a smile on my face everytime I shoot it. The only thing that would make the shooting expierence of this pistol better is if you had topless women reloading yur clips.The Gun is perfect, couldn't change a thing about it.

I have had mine for 2 months and I have ran 500 rds through it with not one FTF or FTE. Awesome weapon going to get the SR40c next.

I purchased two Ruger .40 cal S&W's for my son and I to take up a hobby of target shooting as a father and son activity. The more we shoot our weapons, the more we enjoy them. It is a comfortable weapon to shoot, easy to maintain and clean. As retired military and prior Air Force Law Enforcement Specialist, I can tell you that I never fired a more comfortable pistol. Not only does it shoot well making me look good, it is a great pistol for new pistol enthusiasts like my son. He is honing his skill and getting better and better every week. I highly recommend the Ruger .40 cal S&W to shooters of any experience level. Way to go Ruger!

This is a realiable, Affordable Pistol. Ruger makes some good stuff. And it's made in the U.S.A.
