Finally! Dad bought his first gun - Ruger SR9c

[Sixer]

I've been encouraging my father to purchase a handgun for the last few years... Something for home defense and the occasional CCW.

I'm happy to say that he finally bit the bullet and picked up a Ruger SR9c last week. He was never that enthusiastic about owning a handgun, but after today's trip to the range I could tell he was pretty pumped about it.

As far as a "range report"... the gun functioned flawlessly, and after getting a feel for the sights, he was actually a pretty good shot! I was impressed with the Ruger. For a sub $400 gun it's hard to beat.

Anyway, it was fun and I'm glad to have a new shooting buddy. He takes his CCW class tomorrow and I have a feeling the gun disease will only spread from there

Good choice. The SR9c is underpriced for what you get as is it's big brother the SR9. I'm shooting my SR9 in an IDPA match this Sunday and I hope I don't embarrass myself too much. If I do, it won't be the gun's fault.......
