I would take the Ruger over the Smith because it has a better trigger pull. Both are solid, reliable guns.

Very nice price point.. looks like S&W is about to have trouble selling the SD9, assuming Ruger keeps their trigger the same (and why wouldn't they?)

Just got the 3301 model...stainless over polymer. Accurate, nice trigger which should get better. No jams. Tried the "feel" at Academy for the SR9, the M&P and the Glock side by side. The SR9 has a slim grip, like a single stack almost which I favored. The compact model may also be worth looking at:

You do realize the 9E is a superior version to the SR9 and SR9c as a combat pistol correct?

It removes all the needless 'safety features' that were found on the original.

What besides the loaded chamber indicator?

No it doesn't.

The 9E still has the unnecessary thumb safety and magazine disconnect.

Does it or does it not have the magazine disconnect? I've seen nothing definite on Ruger's page, just a lack of mention of it.

I've read that the mag disconnect is gone... it wasnt an article or anything but If its not i'll be quite disappointed.

The manual safety doesn't bother me as much as it troubles u fish
