Ruger SR9: I'll take mine in .40S&W

The SR9 looks like a nice piece technically and according to reviewers...

especially with the blackened stainless slide:

It fits in holsters made for Glocks. If you wanted a 9mm for around the same price as (or slightly lower than) a Glock, the SR9 is right in the ballpark, and reliability is supposed to be pretty good right out of the box. If you like the idea of a plastic wonder-nine and don't like the Glock's safety system (booger-hook doubles as the only external safety) then this might be one to consider.

If I were in the market for a new pistol AND had $400 laying about, AND they came in .40S&W, I would consider an SR9. You may guess which two of those do not apply. ;)
