Tell me about the Ruger LC9s

I would pass on that. Lots of better choices out there. Can’t hardly give them away.

I have an EC9S which is pretty much the same gun with a cheaper finish and sights machined into the slide instead of removable.

I bought it in 2019 and I think I paid under $200 for it. I shoot it 30 or 40 times per year, should probably up that a good bit. I've never had a problem with it. I carry it with a Vedder light tuck and it's pretty comfortable to wear. When at work there are a lot of times that I have to leave it in my truck so I don't want to be carrying something more pricey. I know, a truck isn't a holster or whatever.

I'm pretty happy with it for the price. I clean it monthly whether I shoot or not so IDK how it runs dirty.

I'd rather leave it in the truck for a couple of hours than at home all day. *shrugs*

I actually got the safe built into my center console on my F150. If you have a crowbar, you'll get into it. But a typical opportunist smash a grab is going to have some difficulty.

As far as the LC9s, I had the LC9 and I know they improved the trigger with the LC9s, but that was only one of the problems. Just not fun to shoot at all. Got it as my first carry gun when all I cared about was size. Then realized I never wanted to shoot it and feel much more comfortable with a gun I actually practice with. It's the only gun I've ever sold. And it didn't sell for very much at all. But it also wasn't doing a damned thing sitting in my safe for ten years unused. Just keep that in mine when evaluating the value of the trade.

Hard pass

1st gen was my least favorite pistol ever. Never had any of the newer ones. I had a 2nd gen lcp which made a good little tiny pocket gun but .380 is not everyones favorite it was crazy accurate for short self defense lengths but snappy (so was the lc9). The old SR9C is larger but a tank and I'll never forgive myself for getting rid of my p95, not a classic but was a great truck gun.

TLDR Just get a 365 or HK or Glock or something I wouldnt bother with the lc9 just my .02 cents, and I love rugers.

I mean if you can test it out and it feels good that is what is most important. Most of us are just cranky old fricks. The most important thing imo is finding a pistol you are comfortable with and accurate with that you can safely shoot/carry/whatever. It all comes down to personal preference and how you feel about it.

I've got one that is horrible to shoot. Meaning the trigger is horrible especially for a gun that size. But I just look at it for what it is. A cheap gun that throws bullets at my threat. In that situation, I won't be judging trigger pull or fun, just getting them off me. I also don't feel bad about wearing it to work or in dirty situations.

But I'm cheap and don't have many show pieces or guns I'm proud of. My main goal of a gun is moving lead. Or honestly the thought of moving lead now that it went from rare to just expensive.
