Ruger SR9c, by a good margin.

You can get a SR9c Ruger for around $420. It's a great shooting gun (I've shot the M&P 9c and the trigger is vastly superior, it doesn't need anything!). The only thing I've done to mine is added night sites. I carry it as often as I carry my Shield and find it just as comfortable. Don't get me...

I want a 9c but the trigger is holding me back. Currently have Ruger SR9c and the trigger is excellent. Wish they'd do a Performance Center 9c, optics ready....

One time I managed to squeeze 31 rounds (not on purpose) in my mag and it would not snap in. Removing a round fixes it.

I ordered the SS guiderod assembly and tried it out in my Shield. It's well made and definite makes it easier to rack the slide. I also have the Mag Guts +1 kits in all my mags nod it won't lock back after firing the last round. I think it speeds up the action wit the lighter spring and it just...

I put this rail extender on mine. Got it off Ebay and it's well made, cnc'd aluminum. Works well.... Its the little piece right below the sight post.

It's mainly the thinness of the Mag Guts follower that allows the extra round to fit in there. I don't consider it to be a flaw of either product, I just need to choose one or the other. It may work fine for others, one of my Mag Guts equipped mags did not fail to lock back, but the other 2...

Went back to the range with mine today and the SS guided definitely doesn't work with Mag Guts +1 kits (in my Shield anyways). Shot a few mags with the SS spring and it consistently failed to lock back after the last round. My dad was shooting with me so I tried his mags (stock, no Mag Guts) and...

I was thinking the same thing about the follower not moving fast enough and the timing being off. I gave the mags a good cleaning and lubing. I'll give it another chance, but I have my doubts. For now I'm only carrying my 9c and not the Shield. If it still won't lock back consistently I'll go...

Some Fereral, WWB, PMC... All good stuff and it did it consistently with all of it. It's baffling because the SS spring definitely allows the slide to move easier and they all lock back 100% by hand with an empty mag. Don't have to pull it back very hard either.

I tried the SS spring today in my Shield 9 and it cycled perfectly. I did however have problems with failing to lock open after the last round. It failed to lock open more than 50% of the time. It was very easy to lock it back on an empty mag, by hand tho. Anyone else experience this? Seems...

I never hear anyone talking about them, but I put an Elfman in mine. It's awesome, what a difference! Expensive yes, but it goes in and comes out so easily (under 5 minute job) that I'll keep it any AR I might upgrade to in the future. I got the curved one: Match Trigger | Elftmann Tactical...

I have Truglo TFX on a 9c and like them a lot. But for my Shield, I didn't like how long that front TFX sight was. After a good bit of research I went with the Ameriglo SW145s. I ordered them for this guy (Ameriglo 3 Dot Night Sight Set Smith & Wesson Shield) who installs them for free. You send...

Mine is super accurate and had been flawless thru about 2500 rounds. I also have a Ruger SR22 and it's an awesome gun as well. I just didn't like that the safety on the Ruger (actually a decocker) operates opposite to my carry guns. I train to thumb the safety off on the draw and didn't like the...

I have both, but my 9c is a Ruger SR9c which is the same size as the M&P. The 9c conceals just as well for me and is very comfortable. The things that make the 9c my carry choice are, it's much more accurate and easy to shoot well, higher capacity, and the biggest plus, it's much easier and...
