I buy guns for performance not for name. I have both the Ruger SR9c And the SR40c. I do nothing but target.500 rounds thru 9, 250 rounds thru 40. Shoot reloads and sometimes cheap amo. Have never had a jam. Accuracy is as good as my abilty. I take turns in what I cary. Practice with one is good for both. They are amost identical in weight and size. Use the same holster. Practice with the 9 cheaper. Have a S&W 9 Jambs everytime gets alittle dirty or don't like amo. Cost lot more than the Rugers
