Ruger LC9s PRO

I have one. I think it is the best thing they have done yet with the LC series. I personally never did see the point in the thumb safety on a striker fire pistol, the mag safety on any pistol and the great big loaded chamber indicator. Just my 2 cents worth.

 

I was looking at one or a Shield. I already have Glocks.

 

I had the LC9 with a galloway precision trigger. It was much better than the stock trigger but doesn't compare to the LC9S. It is completely different. I like it even better than the glocks I have owned. Lighter and shorter reset.

 

Just my opinion, but I've never understood the complaints against thumb safeties?????? To me it's just reflexive second nature to take the gun off safety with a flick of my thumb when I grab it......What is the issue? It's the same with rifles, shotguns, any gun for that matter. When the call for action takes place, the safety is "flicked" off.

Taking it off safety is an unconscious habit, as is returning it to safety locked when reholstering.

 

I own the new 9mm that Ruger offers. It is GREAT !

 

I don't have any complaints with thumb safeties other than they just seem useless on a striker fired or DAO handgun. I automatically flip the safety off with my 1911 but don't even think about it on the LC9S Pro or any other striker fired pistol. Just my opinion. Why have added parts that aren't needed? Less parts, less to fail in a stressful situation.

 

It makes a big difference if your left handed, and it ain't an ambi safety!

 

^^^^^^^post above. Exactly. When seconds count and you have a life threatening situation at you is the first thing you are gonna think about is the safety on or off. When I pull a gun and I hope I never have to, I want it ready without anymore thinking than whats already at stake. Just my opinion.

 

That is fine and dandy, IF the parts removed don't cause some kind of internal mechanical failure.

 

The original Elsie 9 didn't appeal to me at all. But, this new striker-fired version will be in the running for my SS9 dollars soon.

 

I have been in law enforcement for 27 years. My duty weapon is a Glock 22. That said, I have trained to NOT use a manual safety. My new backup/off duty will be the Ruger LC9S Pro. However, there is nothing wrong with a thumb safety if trained properly. In my humble opinion!

 

I bought one a little over a month ago. The slide locked back mid way thru three magazines with +P stuff. I sent it back to Ruger and was pleasantly surprised when I got it back in a week. It then locked back on the fifth round. Back it went and again I got it back in a week. That's amazing. They twice replaced the slide stop spring. Now it works fine and it seems like a great little weapon. I am very pleased with the service. last year I sent a revolver back to one of Ruger's competitors and it took 5 months to get it back.

 

Yeah if you train a lot, but I always hear of people with glocks chambered that shoot themselves. One recently blew his privates off. I like the safety mechanisms on my sr9c.

 

I purchased an LC9 this past Easter for $250. The frame series is excellent for CCW. I don't mind the trigger either as I shoot many different firearms.
