Ruger SR40 Capacity

The Ruger SR40 is chambered in .40S&W and has a standard magazine capacity of 15 rounds.  10 round magazines are available in states with unconstitutional magazine restrictions, and 25 round magazines are available through aftermarket magazine suppliers.

Ruger SR40 Ergonomics

Ergonomics
The SR40 has a long but thin grip that is checkered along all four sides which allows for plenty of comfortable control.  Both the safety and magazine release are ambidextrous, though the slide stop is only on the left side.  The slide serrations add positive control when manually cycling the slide.

Ruger SR40 Fit & Finish

The SR40 is built on a polymer frame that is very resistant to scratches and wear, and its steel slide (available in black or stainless steel) is incredibly hard and very resistant to damage from weather and wear.

Ruger SR40 Concealability

Concealability
The SR40 is a full-sized pistol so concealment will be difficult without the right holster and attire.  Its thinner cross-section helps prevent the gun from printing through clothing.
