Photos of Ruger LC9
Updated: January 9th, 2013
The Ruger LC9 did not strike me as particularly exciting. I am sure it works, but it does not offer anything not already on the market.
I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

I recently purchased the Ruger LC9 to carry.. I personally do like this particular weapon. However, with it only being on the market for a short time now there is a factory defect that some are yet to even see. I've put over 500 rounds out and she's just a week old. The front sight easily just slides right off.. the spacing is too much to keep a tight enough hold to even keep the sight in.. it just falls right out after about 4 rounds now.. at this point I'm ready to just throw the gun at my target because I'm pissed and rightfully so. And the problem didn't start until after I hit about 300 rounds or so. Ruger wants me to overnight the gun to them to fix the problem. However.. they'll have it for up to 14 days!! At the moment this is my only piece and I am very uncomfortable going anywhere without my weapon. I can't even attempt to fix the problem myself with putting on night sights since they aren't even available yet.. then again.. there's basically no accessories available yet other then the laser
This is a hard gun to get accuracy from. Double action only stinks in a auto. They offer a laser for it but you still have to pull the trigger slowly to maintain a group. I recommend a better weapon for carrying. Spend the money "remember your defending yourself with it"
