Ruger SR9 and 9c owners check stiker cover (purchase, fire, firing)

[Sky1]

I noticed tha the lip under my striker cover that connects it to the slide is broken from the 12 o'Clock to the 3 O'clock position. You will see a small piece of plastic left in the slide when you remove it.

It appears this is broken for many people.

You will probably only notice it when you remove the cover in order to clean the striker.

I am not sure if this is a safety issue or not as my gun fires fine even with it broken.

I thought the SR9 and SR9C trigger assembly were totally different. SR9's have always had problems, which is why they redesigned the SR9C somewhat (at least that is what I remember from my research when I was considering a purchase).

why is there ANY plastic working part in a defensive pistol?

Not quite true.

The first generation SR9 had a problem with the drop test - it could fire when dropped with 1 in the pipe and the safety off. Ruger redesigned the trigger pretty quick & retrofitted the early ones - that was about 3 years ago. All the SR9s since and the SR9Cs now have the same Glock-style trigger.

The SR9 is an excellent reliable pistol.
