    if you put the mag in with a little force (not a ton, and ammo in the mag as well) it actually auto forwards!

    Tear down is "tool less" in a sense. There's a cut out on the mag to remove the pin.

    And yes, if you load the mag with some force it will trigger the slide release, in a sort of "auto forward" action.

    Walked into Rural King last Friday to buy dog food and thought I'd check stock in the gun dept. Walked out about 25 minutes later with a new Ruger Security 9 ($299.99) $317.99 including 6% state sales tax. Didn't have time to go to the range this weekend and the local range is close on Mon & Tue, so I'll go put about 150 through it Wed evening. I've been told the slide release loosens up after some use, but it does need to be a little bigger.

    Many of the Ruger newer models (post P series) have a SLIDE LOCK ONLY!. The reason is with such high spring tension to make sure the round goes into battery, you use full slide inertia by pulling it back and releasing it. Ruger needs to print a warning in big red letters not to use the slide lock as a release.

    I shoot weekly and besides my main go to carry gun I have to have a couple of warmup shots before I start shooting most gun & ammo combinations good and some guns still tend to shoot left and low left I don't think it's always me sometimes it seems like an ammo thing or a gun thing.. we all find that 1 ammo for each gun that hits point of aim better than others and one of my 40's prints left with pretty much everything I run through it.. hopefully I can drift those sights and fix the problem I've noticed in that 40 the lighter bullets hit lower and the 180's hit higher.. the 180's are much closer to point of aim as far as up & down goes
