MRCOLIONNOIR's RUGER SR9 vs M&P Shooting Review

About this video

Colion compares the Ruger SR9 and Smith & Wesson M&P9 pistols, examining recoil, ergonomics, triggers, sights, and accuracy. He describes the SR9 as an underrated firearm often dismissed by experienced shooters, while acknowledging the M&P9’s popularity. Though Colion reports shooting more accurately with the SR9, he explains he prefers the overall shooting experience of the M&P9, and concludes both guns have merit for their owners.

Key takeaways

  • Colion finds both pistols offer pleasant, manageable recoil, but describes the M&P9’s feel as ‘classier’ despite similar performance
  • According to Colion, the SR9’s trigger has a gritty uptake but breaks cleanly with excellent reset, while the M&P9’s trigger lacks a distinct reset and benefits from aftermarket work
  • Colion reports achieving better accuracy with the SR9, which he attributes to its trigger characteristics, even though he prefers shooting the M&P9 overall
