Ruger SR9c Ruger® SR9c® * Centerfire Pistol Model 3317
vs.
Ruger American Pistol 9mm Ruger® Ruger American Pistol® * Centerfire Pistol Model 8663
Anybody own both or at least shot both?
If so, your thoughts please.
Living in a 10-round (post-ban) limited state, I am always interested when a new 10-round (10+1) compact pistol comes out and becomes MA-legal. I own the Ruger SR9c and am reasonably happy with it, especially for the price I paid. Should I be thinking about a (fairly inexpensive) trade up to the new Ruger American Compact or not? My favorite local dealer just got one in stock.
What do you think?

Now, the American Compact is out and it seemingly "fixed" some of my minor complaints. Given it's low cost and how little I have invested in my SR9c, it would be the world's cheapest upgrade ever. 
I was supposed to go look at one today but I punted. Too many other things on my plate. Still nowhere around here to try one out either so look is about all I can do before buying.
