Hi there,

I'm currently buying my first gun and was looking for any input or suggestions. I'm a new shooter so I'm not looking for anything fancy or expensive, right now the two models I'm caught between is the M&P 9 and the Ruger SR-9. While everyone tells me the S&W is my best bet and I like the trigger more, I prefer the feel of the Ruger and how it sits in my hand.

I'm looking for any input on this matter especially from people who have shot both guns, unfortunately i can't test them out myself, I don't know anyone who owns either of them. I want to make an informed decision but like I said I'm a first time buyer.

Much like shoes, fit and feel in the hand are very important factors to consider in a handgun purchase.

If you prefer the Ruger then you would not be disappointed. Both are good guns. Go with what fits you.
