Ruger SR40 question

[vintagedude88]

Since its introduction last fall, I've heard of issues such as the trigger not being as good as the SR9c as expected. Issues such as gritty trigger and mushy or vague reset. I would like to know if Ruger has addressed those issues and made any improvements in the current production units to solve those problems.

Here's a link to one site that points out those problems.

Anyone?

cant say much about the SR40 but i can tell you they replaced the trigger on the SR9 trigger to be alot like the SR9c trigger. I would say send Ruger an email or wait for someone who got an SR40 in the last month or so to chime in.

Generally you find these issues on display guns which have been dry-fired to death without a magazine inserted. It's an outgrowth of the magazine disconnect safety, and doesn't affect a "new in box" gun. This is one design flaw (IMHO) of the Rugers ... just make sure they don't sell you the one off the shelf.

Don't you worry, it will still have a better trigger than what you currently have!

I have the SR9c and just got the SR40. The C I have had since last year when I got it I polished a couple of key spots for a smoother trigger and it shoots great. I got my SR40 2 weeks ago took it home cleaned it and polished the same places as in the C. The only problem I am having is that it shoots to the right a little. As for the trigger I can feel no difference between the two, both pull about the same and have a clean reset.

Now my SR9 that was a different story its a 330 model and when I first got it YES the trigger was gritty and a hard pull but after some polishing and several hundreds of rounds it has smoothed out but is still a little harder pull than I want I'm thinking about installing a Ghost trigger in it. I hope this helps.

I'm going for a different solution. I'm just buying an updated SR9 with the new trigger.

With the mag disconnect safety, how can you even dry fire it without the mag?

Also, I tried two different guns on display, one had a smooth trigger, the other had a tight gritty trigger. The salesman's answer was the gun with the smooth trigger has sat in the case longer than the other. Their advise was to dry fire the gun a lot during break-in.

Was he right?

Just like you dried fire my SR9C.....didn't you know that you were dry firing my SR9C without a mag?

[redhemi]

You can pull the trigger without a mag and the striker will move foreword but not all the way. The mag disconnect will stop the striker before it hits the primer. If you dry fire without a mag it will eventually harm the striker and mag disconnect and you will have to get new parts. You can dry fire with a empty mag inserted or you can remove the mag disconnect which takes about 5 min. Or if you go to Rugerforum.com there is a sticky in the semiauto pistol section that shows how to polish various parts for a smooth trigger.

my buddy just got 1 as his first pistol, we both shot it trigger felt fine. pull the trigger it went bang. his problem was his grip & limp wristing. but he was not gonna listen to me until he figured it out on his own. after $75 on range ammo he figured it out. im 1 of those guys that have no problems with the factory trigger. but good guns nice weight distribution and agressively priced too

If you are interested in changing the trigger feel, go to Gallowayprecision.com. Buy a smooth it kit, what a world of difference.

I love my SR9. Trigger is perfect!

not a full size, but my SR40C has a great trigger. Initially the trigger was slightly gritty.

Put maybe 1k through it so far, and any initial grit it had is gone now. Very smooth firing, little to no over travel, very crisp and predictable.
