Way, way OT-any Ruger LC9s/pro owners?

Freebie coming your way (not a hand gun but dovetail grip) if ya want it.

I'll ask around work. Most of us are Glock, Sig, Smith of various models but I remember a couple were saying they were thinking of the Ruger.

How's the safety trigger on that? I can't stand them personally. Sigs are my favorite.

i'll take it! i was going to buy one by the end of the year. my p229 is a bit too fat for carrying and 1911 too long.

first world problems ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thumb safety no big deal...just no fun to shoot. And if yer gonna carry it, gotta practice and be good with it. Glock 42 small, comfy, fun to shoot and as effective as 9mm with right ammo. Dead is dead😝

what is rugar overall quality? i am thinking of buying a mark 4 hunter .22 as an inexpensive shooting range pistol. a much cheaper way of shooting versus my 1911 colt .45.

Excellent with best warranty department going(could be good news or bad news). But I have very limited knowledge, just this one item that I had for only about 4 months/shot 3 times/about 400 rounds...no issue. But compared to Glock, much more complicated.

[Ken Robb]

Ruger has made thousands of .22 automatics for about 60 years so they must be doing it right. They shoot well too.

[parris]

The Ruger 22 is a great handgun. Several models are a pain if you want to disassemble them but like Ken stated they've been around for many years.

If youre not locked into Ruger though take a look at the Browning Buckmark line. I have 2 and have been very happy with them.

[Bruce K]

I had the LC9s for about 3 hours

Broke after 8 rounds

No more plastic pistols for me

Dealer replaced it with a Sig 938 and I never looked back

As for 22s -I Shoot a S&W Model 41 in Competition. Ruger Mark IVs solve the cleaning/takedown issues. If you’ve got the $$$ get a Volquartsen Scorpion.

I was looking at a Glock 42 this week (already have a 19 Gen 4) for CC but changed my mind and got a S&W M&P 9 Sheild on sale for $369. Great carry piece. 8+1, nice safety (my one complaint about Glock) nice feel and balance.

I guess people think I'm snobby because I like my HK's. They are more ambi friendly to me. That said I know a few folks who like the LC9 so there is that.

The Shield 9mm was my choice up until I handled the Glock 42. And I've always hated Glocks, so this surprised me a lot. Great guns, both of them.
