Ruger LC9S/EC9S - Thoughts?

[AGMotorsport]

Hi everyone -

I'm looking into purchasing a pistol so that my girlfriend has something to shoot when she wants to goto the range with me.

I'm on GunBroker looking at the deals and I see the Ruger LC9S/EC9S for sale.

I looked at MCarbos sight and looks like they just make a Trigger Kit for it.

Looking for personal reviews on it, and how is it to rack.

Maybe info in one of these will help. I had one of 2 but ended up going a different ( G43) direction.

Anyone still carry an LC9 or an EC9S?

I find them to be good guns. Highly reliable and Ergonomic. 7+1 sure beats a 5 shooter. Problem is I’ve succumbed to the higher capacity theory. With all the new micro guns, hard to justify a slightly smaller gun with less capacity. But it does feel good in the hand. Just picked up...

I like my LC9s, but intend to carry my Glock

I really like the Ruger LC9s. It fits my hand well. Shoots well. Has been totally reliable in the years that I have owned it. But like any firearm that I carry regularly, it needs to be cleaned to ensure that it will work properly if and when it is needed. Sometimes I carry my Glock 26 instead...

EC9S or G3c?

I sold my G2c that was a good pistol because my nephew needed a good gun, didn't have much money and it had proved itself, and am going to get something else. Since I have several Ruger guns already I am thinking EC9S but the Taurus G3c is in the same price range. Which would you choose?, I know...

Thanks hitman. I decided I'm going to get the girl a LCP MAX. More aftermarket availability also.

I would consider either of them a 9mm step up from a gen 1 LCP. The improved sighting options alone makes the Max series significant. I saw the sights on my Max9 and was like hell yeah. Best factory sights I have ever used.

I would let her pick out her own gun.

Best factory sights I have ever used the Security 380 is also a great choice for smaller people. Easier to control and a longer sight picture.

Hi guys -

Wasnt thinking when I posted this. I had a conversation with her, I'm going to throw down like $60 renting a few guns at the range and letting her decide.

So far the list to try is -

Ruger LCP Max .380
Ruger Max-9 9mm

Suggestions for others to try would be appreciated!

Glock 43
Walther PPK even if it's 380.

My LC9s is my EDC. Compact, great trigger, good sights, not snappy like the LCP and had never had an FTE or FTF or any other problem. Bit of a hassle to properly seat the spring after cleaning. Prefer it to my Glock 26.

Like I said the Security 380 is easier to use in every way. Security 9 as well.
