BIL has one in .40 (SR40), I've shot it a few times; I like it. Ergonomically Ruger has come from the back of the pack right up to the front. There are very few pistols that feel better in the hand than the current crop of Ruger polymer framed pistols.
Of the polymer framed .40's I find the Ruger to be the easiest recoil wise, just seems to settle into the hand a tad better than the rest; but that's just completely subjective.
I personally like the option of having the thumb safety on a trigger cocking pistol. Just makes re-holstering a bit safer. Flick the safety on while re-holstering, and when it's firmly into the holster you can either flick it off or just keep it on; whatever tickles your fancy.
My brother in law's is quite accurate, but as expected the trigger could be better. All in all I think it's a very good pistol when you consider how little it costs.
