How long have you had your SR9?
ive had it for abut 2 weeks now, but ive been shooting one for a couple of months. ive been shooting an sr9c though, i wouldnt believe there is that much of a difference.
I have no experience with Ruger pistols, but i dry fired an SR9 in a gun shop. Pretty bad trigger.

It is not a pistol which has been widely adopted by LE or military forces and long tested in high volume. Therefore, it is highly suspect compared to Glocks, M&Ps, HKs etc.
Keep shooting it and report back how it runs. Enjoy. All shootin' is good shootin.

Ruger handguns are fairly popular in my area among those who aren't really serious about handguns.
My experience with Ruger semi-autos has been mixed. Their rimfire semi-autos are very, very good guns especially for the money. Their centerfire autos are more of a mixed bag. Guns like the P89 and P90 have sold for a long time and have even been adopted by a very limited number of police departments. Although bulky, the P90 has some pretty hardcore fans. The guns were nothing to write home about, but all that I tried worked. They were bulky and awkward, had poor triggers...but they went bang.
The polymer guns were a bit of a different story. A friend of mine purchased one in 9mm that developed some serious issues. I believe it was a P95. While shooting it I noticed that the gun had a dangerously light single-action trigger...and a couple of rounds into the mag it went full auto on me. After the second trip back to Ruger he got rid of the gun...replacing it with a Taurus, believe it or not.
Ruger has revamped their handgun line in the last couple of years and the SR9 is a new design along the lines of the Glock and M&P...but Ruger is new to striker-fired handguns and their record on polymer handguns in general hasn't been stellar. I'd personally advise sticking with known quantities like the M&P or the Glock.
