First Mag - Ruger SR40 - Revisiting The First Gun I Ever Bought
About this video
Colion reviews the Ruger SR40, which he describes as his very first firearm purchase. He discusses the pistol’s affordability (what he reports as sub-$300), ergonomics, and features including the loaded chamber indicator, frame-mounted safety, and trigger characteristics. Colion explains how the SR40 manages .40 S&W recoil effectively and argues it offers good value for first-time buyers, despite some design choices he notes that gun enthusiasts may not prefer.
Key takeaways
- Colion teaches that the Ruger SR40’s ergonomics and recoil spring system help manage the snappy recoil of .40 S&W ammunition effectively
- Colion argues the SR40 offers modern features at an affordable price point, making it a solid option for first-time gun buyers despite its magazine disconnect safety
- Colion breaks down the SR40’s unique trigger design, describing it as smooth with no definitive wall—good for the price but not ideal for shooters who prefer a crisp break and reset
