Ruger 9mm review manual#

We can only speculate it has something to do with the concealed carry/defensive nature of the pistol, but we really don’t know. We are unsure on the idea behind the long trigger pull. We will mention this straight away to highlight the only real negative of the pistol, the trigger pull is LOOOONG! It is so long you might even think something is wrong the first time you squeeze the trigger. You can also quickly scroll to the bottom of this review for the dimensions and weight as measured by us. You can follow this link and navigate to the Ruger LC9 listed specifications. Another nod to the concealed/open carry market. You will also notice how THIN the pistol is.

It is a small gun and when you pick it up and start shooting you will certainly know. The pistol has been designed for shooters to carry comfortably and easily conceal. In real world terms, it’s a small lightweight gun. It’s a nice touch if you wanted something a bit different besides the standard all black LC9. Basically this means the receiver is coated in a nice camo coating and there are NRA logo’s on both sides of the slide. The LC9 we are reviewing is a distributor exclusive, namely the ‘NRA Edition’.

LC380 (LC9 sized pistol chambered in 380 Auto).

LC9s (Striker-fired version of the LC9 in 9mm).

LCP Chambered in 380 Auto (The LCP is even smaller than the LC9).

The Ruger website lists the following models in their ‘lightweight compact pistols’ range There are actually quite a few variants of the LC9 including quite a few ‘distributor exclusives’ which leads us to believe this is a very popular pistol. The label on the envelope provides some specs of the pistol and signed by 'Tom Martin'. You also get a fired 9mm case inside a small envelope.

You get the Ruger LC9 with one magazine with two different base plates, soft gun case, a padlock, small key for disassembly, manual and assorted brochures. The answer? Because we love guns no matter the purpose and these types of pistols can easily be obtained on certain licences in Australia.īasically everything in the below photo which is standard for a newly purchased pistol. You are probably asking yourself why the Buy Used Guns Team are reviewing a pistol designed for concealed/open carry when laws allowing this practise do not exist in Australia. Its stand-out features include a thin frame, short length and height, ease of use and many safety’s which all point to the concealed/open carry market (pro-dominantly in the US).
