Hello TFL Community,
(Semi-automatic question follows, but since this is my first post, a bit of background). Skip to the bottom for my Semi-auto question.
Background: I've been following this forum for several months now and just registered today. Following it to gain insight and knowledge on firearms, because I am realtively new to firearms, and have recently begun frequenting a shooting range not far from my rural home, and a strong interest in pursuing a CCW license. I reside in Wisconsin, and we are the 2nd last, as I understand, state to adopt this.
Two reasons I will be purchasing several guns in the near future:
1. First purchase will be a CCW. Although I reside in a safe, rural area, I will be making numerous trips into Milwaukee in the future, and the neighborhood I will be travelling in has changed for the worse .
2. I live about 12 minutes away from an outdoor shooting range, and having recently gone there with my 21 y/o son and shot skeet & targets, we've both taken a keen interest in shooting. Good clean fun. We both want to target practice on weekends together for sheer enjoyment. (We're both going to buy 22/10's soon)
Question: Based on research here, and talking with the folks at the gun store, I'm looking to purchase the Ruger SR9C, HC. Now, one thing I've learned here is that, like everything else in the world, firearms are a personal thing. Asking for the "best" is going to get you that person’s opinion. So, I'm not asking for your personal favorite to buy instead of this Ruger. Instead, I'm mostly interested in learning if there are any major known problems, or otherwise reasons why this gun is to be avoided.
I hope this makes sense, and I appreciate your guidance. Thank you.
