Ruger SR9c 9mm Compact Pistol with Stainless Slide, 3.5" Barrel, 17+1 Capacity – 2013 Discontinued Model
The Ruger SR9c offers the proven SR-Series design in a slimmer, shorter package built for concealed carry. This 2013-manufactured example is the hard-to-find stainless-slide variant (catalog KSR9C) that Ruger has since discontinued, making it attractive to shooters and collectors looking for the complete SR lineup. Its compact 3.5-inch barrel, shortened grip, and 1.27-inch width keep it easy to carry while still accepting full-size 17-round magazines.
Condition
Overall Condition: Very good condition, showing only light, superficial signs of prior handling or use.
Bore Condition: Good – Clean, well-maintained, minor wear marks.
Rifling Condition: Good – Intact, well-defined lands and grooves.
Specific Condition Notes: Light scratches and small blemishes are visible on the slide and frame, but the brushed stainless finish remains strong. Bore is bright and shiny, reflecting limited firing.
What’s Included
- Ruger factory black plastic hard case
- Ruger SR-Series instruction manual
- Fired-case envelope
- Two 17-round Ruger SR9c steel magazines with grip sleeves
- One 10-round Ruger SR9c steel magazine with flush/pinky extension
The SR9c retains all of the SR-Series safety features—ambidextrous 1911-style thumb safeties, trigger safety, striker blocker, magazine disconnect, and a pivoting loaded-chamber indicator clearly stamped “LOADED WHEN UP.” Together they provide multiple, easily verified layers of protection.
A brushed stainless slide with front and rear cocking serrations rides on hardened steel rails molded into the glass-filled nylon frame, delivering durability in a carry-sized pistol. The reversible magazine release and fully ambidextrous safeties accommodate right- or left-handed shooters without modification.
Ruger’s 3-dot sight system features a drift-adjustable rear sight and a blade front sight for straightforward alignment. The striker-fired action pairs a consistent trigger pull with a short reset, while the 1:10 right-hand twist stainless barrel supports a wide range of 9mm Luger loads.
This gun ships with both flush 10-round and extended 17-round magazines, letting the owner switch between maximum concealability and full-size capacity. The 333- serial prefix places it firmly within the SR9c production block, adding context for Ruger enthusiasts tracking manufacturing changes.
