I don’t think any of the TFB readers were surprised when Ruger unveiled the Ruger LC9. After the success of the Ruger LCP .380 lightweight compact pistol, a slightly larger 9mm Luger/Parabellum model made perfect sense.

Once nice feature of this gun is that a finger grip extension can be added to the standard seven round magazine. One “mis-feature” is that it includes the dreaded magazine safety hated by so many shooters.
