Can the Ruger LC9 be More than a Good Concealed Carry?
Published
1 year agoon

As a lightweight compact pistol, which by the way explains its name, the Ruger LC9 joins the fray of small handguns that are easy to carry; about as at home in the pocket, a lady’s purse or just about anywhere near your person that you consider your favorite concealed carry compartment. It can either make you feel like a secret agent or confident enough to meet with friends who are not comfortable with guns.
Can the Ruger LC9 be More than a Good Concealed Carry?
Just because it’s small does not mean it’s not potent. Unlike .25- or .32 caliber compacts, the Ruger LC9 offers 9mm of stopping power, seven plus one to be exact. And it adds great style to that with a slim and sweeping profile, a far cry from its SR9c sibling. The LC9 is sleek like that famous MI6, staying true to the phrase if looks could kill, literally and figuratively

Looks can be deceiving though, as it may be a heavy hitter on the aesthetics department, the LC9 is also a heavyweight. 17.1 ounces seems to betray its compact dimensions but it’s the price to pay considering the fact that its a 9 millimeter shooter. The LCP, its little brother, offers lighter weight and consequently less stopping power with its .380 ammunition.
There is good reason for the added heft. When you have to defend yourself from dangerous elements, you want to be able to take them down and with that 9mm you need some counterweight to fight the recoil. It’s that simple, really.
For its size, the LC9 is surely quick. Gripping it while shooting is made easier with the little extension but it’s definitely not designed for continuous shooting. At which point you’d be wishing for something more appropriate. Again it goes back to the LC9’s purpose, a concealed carry good enough for self defense.
