Ok, I wasn't sure if you were aware or not. Just don't drop it near me, and we will be fine.Yes it's the same one. But from what I have found the testing stated under "certain Conditions" the SR9 could fire if dropped with safety off, and one in the pipe. The opinion of most is that it is "Lawyer Speak". I've found the pistol to be very reliable and after break in very smooth. Being a lefty I thnk the ambidextrous controls a plus. The size, weight, and ergonomics I feel are excellent. I think after Ruger gets over this bump in road the SR series will really take off either in a compact version or .40sw.
