What makes the SR9 better to ME over a Glock is not only the feel of the gun, which does feel better in my hands than a Glock(and I've owned a few Glocks), but the manual safety and may disconnect, which I look for in a semi auto, and the stellar customer service that Ruger offers. I know a guy who had a GP100 that needed some work. Gun was 20 years old. Not only did Ruger do the work free of charge, including shipping, but they reblued the gun for free, too.
