The SR9c is the compact version of Ruger's SR-series service pistol — a 3.5-inch barrel and reduced grip height that brings the striker-fired platform to a concealed carry-viable package. The ambidextrous manual safety was a deliberate feature for buyers transitioning from 1911-pattern pistols who wanted the same carry discipline. It ships with both a compact 10-round and a full-size 17-round magazine to serve as a duty gun with a compact holster profile. Type: Pistol Action: Semi-Automatic Caliber: 9mm Capacity: 10 Year introduced: 2010, USA Weight: 23.4 oz Overall length: 6.85" Status: Active Intended use: Concealed Carry
