We all know there is a recall on the Ruger SR9. My question is would you be able to qualify with the SR9 before it is sent off to be fixed. There isn't a issue with the gun unless you drop it with the safty off and a round in the tube, then it may fire if it hits just right. To be honest I don't really trust any gun if it were dropped with a round in the tube.
Thanks,

Re: SR9 & CHL TEST
It is legal, and in my opinion safe to take it to the range for qualification. If I remember correctly, the gun can potentially go off if dropped, while the safety is disengaged. I would send it in while you were waiting for the plastic though.

Re: SR9 & CHL TEST
I used mine on May 3rd to take the CHL. Have not shot it since. Once I send it in and get it back, I might sell it and get a P89 or a Beretta. They burnt me a little on this.

Re: SR9 & CHL TEST
If your instructor runs you guys through the qualification like ours did,you'll load 5 rounds in the mag-fire those,then 4 rounds,then 6 rounds,etc,etc,etc...until you get your 50 rounds at the required distances. I see no issues with using the SR9 at all-unless you're gonna be tossing the gun around with live rounds in the chamber. Why do you feel they "burnt you"?
