OK then, hi, "Scr'eap."
But, you have not passed MY test.
Yeah I kinda suck at that whole "following orders" thing. That's why I couldn't take any more than 4 years in the Marines.
Actually I had to google SR9 because after I sold my P91DC I lost interest in Ruger autopistols. My impression was that all Ruger autos (at the time) were bulky, clunky, unrefined and had mediocre triggers. This was back in '97 so I guess they've improved. The exception to this, of course, is the Mark II family since those have always been good plinker/target pistols.
The only issue I'd have with the SR9 is that the 9mm overpenetrates and just punches 9mm holes in people without doing much damage (unless you hit something critical). You can actually get more knockdown power by using reduced loads with a bullet that's designed to expand at lower velocities. If you have bullet casting equipment, you can make your own out of soft lead that will rapidly expand. Forster makes a tool to turn any cast bullet into a hollow point. I've never used them but I don't see a reason why it wouldn't work.
Are you actually trying to say that even though they are more difficult to carry concealed, a forty five is far superior to a nine mm? Seriously? I have to tell you that a 9mm is so easy to keep concealed and anyone who has "brain cell # 1" knows that any nine mm weapon can hold way more ammunition than any forty five caliber weapon. There is no reason to carry otherwise than some sort of nine mm, right?
However, one trying to support a lie, should always support a bit of truth, within the lie.
Dude, I think our conversation probably led you to know I am a large caliber guy, as well.
What I think might be cool for you to know, is that when we met, I was carrying a standard 1911 forty five (in my belt), just as I always had, unless I was driving, in which case I would most likely be sporting a forty four magnum of some sort.
(My two forty fours and my shotgun (Remington 1100 'Kay call me a pussy... I think 1100 is superior to most ) were in my car)
I could not spot your gun, you being better at this than I am, with all your training and such.
Honestly, I did not trust you any more than you might have trusted me. But do not take any of this as any more than any other American meeting for the first time any other stranger.
BTW, I think it was cool that we both brought beer, too.
