Happy Memorial Day Weekend!
I have been reading some forums regarding the Ruger SR9 magazine disconnect removal process. It seems very easy to do, and I have been weighing the pros and cons (that I have read). I would like some poeple's opinions here regarding this decision. What I read thus far (true or not) is as follows:
Pros for Removal:
1. The obvious, you can fire it without the mag inserted.
2. Some say you can damage the firing pin if you dry fire the SR9 without a mag inserted and the magazine disconnect is engaged. This issue is resolved if removed.
3. Some claim the SR9 can have light primer strikes (due to the magazine disconnect), and removal produces much stronger strikes.
4. The magazines catch easier when inserted, and with less force.
5. Few claim a slightly lighter trigger pull, but this is highly debated.
Cons for Removal:
1. Legal ramifications if used as a CCW. This is my biggest worry.
2. The striker is more free floating in the slide and may cause wear.
3. Magazines drop slower (which makes sense considering #4 of the Pros)
Any opinions would be great. And I am not claiming Pro/Con listed to be true, I am only repeating what I have read.
Thank you.
