So this afternoon I borrowed Paco's SR9C and took it out and shot it along side a Glock 19. Im kinda in love. Right off the bat first shot was dead on target, it felt completely natural, the trigger behaved as I expected it to and I was able to shoot fairly accurately. I shot the Glock 19 as well, and while liking it... Loved the SR9C. The guy I was shooting with even commented on how much better the grip and trigger felt than he was expecting.
At this point I kinda feel like I'm officially looking for a black on black Ruger SR9C
This has been my experience. Taken folks to the range with the SR9c, and variety of other guns, glocks, m&p's, sigs, etc. More times then not, they shoot the 9c the best, and that's what they purchase.
Trigger job I was referring to is polishing two points of engagement. Sorry, my search fu isn't coming up with a good video at the moment.
Here are a couple of pictures I doctored that I hope helps.
First one is the striker, polish the surface marked in red.

Next polish the end of this bar, it mates with the same area on the striker when gun is assembled. If you use a magnifying glass, you can see your progress.

The goal is to simply polish, not remove material. Use Jewelers rouge or Flitz Metal Polish.
FYI, it's about a 10 minute job to eliminate the LCI. Use a 3/32" punch to drive the pin out, cut/grind the tab down, and reinstall the bar......easy peasy.
Im not that worried about it but... meh, may have to go for it eventually.
I honestly have never even noticed it. It's completely out of the sight picture. To each, his own; but to me it would seem like a waste of time and effort - not to mention, leaving an ugly gap that may allow more sweat/dirt/grime/etc. inside.
