give me 1 reason why I shouldn't buy pic related for my first pistol
I can get one for $310 after all shipping and transfer fee bullshit is included
Do whatever you like. It's no skin off our ass.
Get a Canik TP9SFX for a bit more.
>>35027115
It's a good gun for the price
>>35027129
don't buy turkshit
>>35027115
I love mine, although I got mine for $360 before a $30 sales tax and $6 background check.
The slide release is not designed without average human thumb strength in mind and the trigger felt weird after the magazine disconnect removal.
Also the mags are either 10rd or 17rd with no in-between so if your state has a mag capacity limit below 17rd you might have to settle with 10rds of 9mm in the year of 2017.
>>35027167
*not designed with* or *designed without* average human thumb strength in mind.
>>35027163
>don't buy the best striker fired handgun out of the box
Okay, bud. Hate Turkey all you want, but they make an excellent handgun.
ive owned both the canik and this. canik broke the trigger spring after 200 rounds. get the 9e.
rugers are the best buy lots of them!
>>35027115
Too bad they took the LCI off the 9E. I have a 1st gen 9E with LCI. I also own SR9, SR9C, SR40 AND SR40C.
>>35027115
Go ahead and get it OP. The trigger isn't great, but it is a good 9mm for the price.
>>35028634
>The trigger isn't great
Yet Hickok45 praised the trigger.
Who you gonna believe, anon or High Cock?
>>35027115
Ruger's striker guns suck butt compared to other major manufacturers. But honestly, at that price, you are getting your money's worth. I would say something like a shield is a better buy right now, since you can get the 2 free mags and a box of critical defense with it.
>>35028645
Hickock generally doesn't say anything bad about a gun he reviews because 'brought to you by Bud's Gun Shop' wants you to buy it from them.
>>35028657
Bullshit. If the gun sucks he says so. You're thinking of the gunblast shill. That mountain dwarf never bad mouths a gun.
>>35028664
I've literally never seen hickok45 say a gun is shit. He even praised the hi point.

You think Kalifornia legislators just reach across the country and click these on all the time?
>>35027115
It's unlikely to be a lasting design. Not that it will break any more quickly, I have no idea about it's durability, but when it does eventually it's going to blow trying to replace what goes out unless it gets more popular. Not a huge issue for the price, I like that the bore axis looks low, and its okay to look at but still not attractive. Go for it if you want it op, I just gave you one reason because you asked, at least its not a sd9ve but from what I've heard the trigger is still on the stiffer side.
>>35028700
Do you like mag disconnects?
>>35028664
>>Bullshit. If the gun sucks he says so.

Online buy? Have you ever held one in your hand to make sure its something that's comfy and enjoyable to hold/shoot?
>>35028645
By all means get one, but I own a 9e and the trigger is not great. It is decent. Walthers, and the Turkshit TP9SF has it beat in nearly the same price range. But do you really want to give the Turks your monies? One the plus side, the 9e is super reliable, and I have had no issues other than the meh trigger that is inherent with most striker fired pistols.
>>35028768

That hole in the side. Stick a key in and it disables the gun. Iirc people call it that because the hilldawg tried to make them a requirement.
Completely useless if you have a regular gunlock and could only possibly inconvenience yoy.

>you type like the asshole during ww2 that said - sure i'll buy a luger it's an excellent gun - or during korea said - sure i'll buy an ak47 it's an excellent gun
bruh Lugers are excellent and AKs back in the day are most likely way ahead of the shit that's made in the states today.
Because Ruger is a POS and the name shouldn't fucking exist. Bill Ruger was a traitorous piece of shit and hopefully he's burning in hell for all eternity for what he did. If you buy from Ruger youre basically a cuck. I don't care if they've "changed" cause Bill is dead, they should have disassociated with anything involving his name.
>>35030649
Looks like I was wrong, that hole is just a pin or something.
>>35031111
Yeah you're mistaken with S&W revolvers
>>35027115
The manual safety is microscopic, even worse than the ones on wartime Browning Hi-Powers.
It's the worst of both worlds. If you like manual safeties it's too small and slippery to manipulate in a hurry, too small to use as a thumbrest to help you get a higher grip on the gun and be absolutely certain of its position.
And if you don't like manual safeties, it's too small to ignore and not really positive enough. You'll find yourself checking constantly to be sure it's off, which does nothing for speed or confidence.
Save your pennies and get a used M&P 9mm for $100 more. You can have it with a manual safety or without, your preference. If you like manual safeties it's actually big enough to rest your thumb on and big enough to check by touch in the dark. If you don't like manual safeties you can get one without.

ftfy. Ruger is literally recall city, mang. Also, you're a faggot and so is OP. Inspect a Ruger 9E barrel side by side with other (better) manufacturers barrels such as Glock, Sig, or HK. The fucking Ruger barrel looks and feels like unfinished/untreated pot metal, and has horrible sharp edges all over its locking lug. There are good reasons why no single police or military entity on the entire planet uses Ruger semi automatic pistols. They are simply lower quality guns and I am very sorry if that hurts your feelings.

This is true. He fucked his own reputation up. If he were a better person maybe we wouldn't know about him, huh?
At least that's why most companies and groups don't promote their own down falls.
I can't take anything Hickok says seriously...
>Was a cop
>has a hard time telling the truth about the guns
>Can't seem to break free from the gibs
>Compromised himself
Shame, such shame.
If its anything like the LC9S it'll break down within 1000 rounds. Thankfully Ruger knows their products aren't worth a shit so they have a lifetime warranty. You'll probably be able to sell it to a pawn shop for $200 down the line once you're done with it.
>>35034002
His recent review of the Colt Cobra II was particularly misleading. I handled one recently, sharp edges everywhere and terrible trigger stacking. Fucking charter arms had better triggers. Shame.
>>35027115
>this whole thread
>tfw can't tell if people are being contrarians or telling the ugly truth because of the unnecessary aggresive tone
when in doubt, assume /k/ is wrong and nogunz
At that price range, I think the Smith SD9VE is a better option. I've shot both and although both triggers are shitty, the Smith is slightly less so. Plus the grip felt more ergo in my hand.
>>35034679
This. Later grab the Apex trigger and spring replacement. Love mine.
>>35034679
Are you fucking retarded? I have both and the trigger on the s&w is shit. Plus the Ruger holds an extra round.
Goddamn this thread is filled with dumbfucks and noguns

LCI is for faggots and Californians...so faggots.
>>35027115
I genuinely don't understand this thread, I actually learned about the Ruger 9E and SR series from /k/, first from the poorfag gun chart, then from many other threads and various sites and videos about how it's actually pretty decent for a budget gun. Occasionally there's a few replies here and there saying it's shit without explaining why, suggesting a glock, or getting triggered over an irrelevant dead person, these posts either get ignored or rightfully laughed at.
And then there's this thread filled with hardcore samefagging and retardation in general screaming about how bad it is, like what happened, did someone forget to turn on their trip on? Did someone make an impulse purchase and is shitposting out of buyer's remorse? Did Ruger become the new meme gun of the week when people got bored of glock and sig threads?

listen bro. rugers are good guns. 9mm is a fine caliber. there is no reason not to. and even if you dont like it, so what? 300$ and you can re sell it and get something higher end. but its a functional design. seems fine.
just dont listen to /k/ about anything like this. we are just a bunch of weapon fetishists that spend exorbitant amounts of money on things that will never actually be used for the purposes of a guerilla war or running gun battle in the streets. let me tell you a few things that old /k/ would agree on before this place became a fucking gear queer suck off board.
as far as HD goes or even just SD for youre first pistol
>it doesnt fucking matter. a taurus or hi point or whatever else has never really cost anyone their lives. a fucking saturday night .25 special made in the sixties still goes bang when you shoot it. I mean yeah FTE's and stovepiping and whatever else jams can happen. but chances are not really. and its not gonna be life or death. worry about other things.
>if all you have is a fucking .22 mk.4 ruger pistol youre fine. niggas arent impervious to bullets. .22 drops people. stopping power isnt a myth per se, but once you start slinging lead the other dude starts running. and if I had a fucking AR and some dude has the drop on me with a .22 pistol, Im fucking giving him my wallet. yeah dudes can walk through .22 and not get disabled, but that shit happens with 9mm, 5.45, almost any other gun also if your actually blasting a fucking berserker.
>if all you can get is a fucking blackpowder SA six shooter replica, you can still load that and depend on that for a bedside table gun. also youre better armed than anyone that doesnt have a firearm. also that shits lethal as well.
>get a fucking revolver if you want. if you need more than six shots, youre in a gunfight anyways.
Im just saying. get a hi point. get a mav 88. get whatever cheap gun you come across 2nd hand.
just as long as youre armed. thats what matters.

Im fine with it. I get it. Im jealous. I love the collections these guys all have. really impressed. more power to them.
but sinking 30k into a gun collection is a bit much. its cool if its disposable for you though.
its just when they start LOL .45 1911 or hi points or cheap AR builds or kel tec and taurus. I mean I get the criticisms. but holy fuck I dont need a ferrarri to commute to work. I dont need a lifted f350 to move some furniture.
>The real thing I do actually have a problem with is knife fags. holy shit are you kidding me.
anyone that spends more than 80$ on a knife is a fucking moron. unless youre a chef.
chances are youre gonna lose your edc folder rather than actually use it on anything.
honestly I wouldnt spend more than 40$ on a knife. its edged steel. I mean all those high end knives are cool. but just fucking dumb to spend that kinda money on a knife. even a survival knife. youre not gonna use it. youre not gonna carry it. and if you do carry it honestly ask yourself how often you do use it?
its just better to get something cheap and durable and actually get use out of it. I will never understand knife guys. or people that carry knives. nobody wins a knife fight. if a 14 year old girl comes at you with a box cutter youre getting tagged. badly.
I will just never understand knife fags. get a mora or SAK and call it a day.
>>35027115
You can get an FNS for 100 more and it's not an econoshit gun. Then again, if you're looking for the cheapest decent gun it's alright. Might leave a bit to be desired in the future.
does it have a safety? or just a trigger safety? if its just the trigger safety, dont.
>>35037204
On knives; Its why I like kershaw so much. You can get decent steel with a cool assisted opening gimmick, and not spend over 50 dollars. I bought a leek about 7 years ago for 30 bucks, and its only now failed. Washer bearings are worn out or something

well I mean 7 years of having a knife for less than 50 bucks is great. just saying dudes that spend lots of money on knives are morons.
as for the safety thing on pistols. I just cant do it. I cant keep something in the chamber and only have a trigger pull be my only safety. I mean revolvers are the same thing. But I like a heavy trigger pull.
I mean the amount of ND's that skyrocketed among LEO's after they switched to glocks or smiths was ridiculous.
