I purchased a LC9s last week and last night was the first time I had a chance to bring to the range. I ran through 2 magazines without any issues. The second shot on my third magazine blew the gun apart! I was using standard off the shelf ammo - Geco, not reloads, not +P. I was LUCKY!!!! I ended up with 2 cuts one below my glasses on the cheek bone and one on my forehead and a black eye. I should've done my homework before buying this pistol! Come to find out there's a lot of people posting on the web the exact same experience so if you have this pistol be aware.

Me smells a troll...
If your gun did blow apart, send the pics to Ruger, they will replace the gun.

Never heard of this problem and first post. Glad you are alright but I trust my LC9S and all my Ruger's completely.
Yes, where on the internet are these reports? I'd like to see them.... if true I would suspect a major recall.
loaded round

Sounds like a Glock owner to me!

A buddy of my nephew's best friend had the same problem. His LC9s blew apart and he didn't have any pictures either...... :roll:
I'd be glad to post the pictures ... can anybody explain how to attach a picture in this forum?
By the way, I have 3 Rugers, 2 that I'm very happy with. This is just to keep the group informed of what happened to me, nothing more. If you do a google search on "Ruger LC9s blew up" you'll get 5 or 6 hits. One of them is a youtube video. I'm meeting with the gun shop tomorrow and I'm sure they'll send it back and Ruger will make good on it but I'll be looking for store credit to buy another brand. I've lost confidence in this gun.

Maybe you should lose confidence in the ammo you used. It's much more likely to be at fault.
Well .... I just did a Bing search on Ruger LC9 blew up. Only hit is on blown up (enlarged) pictures of LC9s. Not one where an LC9 was damaged.
Yeah, it'd sketchy ...... and most likely ammo related if it did occur.
Over 1,000 rounds through my LC9 now.

In the revolver section, there is a thread in which the blow up of a SP101 was described complete with pictures. And this with factory loaded .357 ammo.

Why is it so hard to imagine that a semi auto pistol might suffer the same fate?
Over there the consensus seems to be that it was faulty ammo. I suspect the same thing here. 8) 8)

Google "Glock Kaboom" and you will find even more. A lot more.revhigh said:

They are relevant because you mercilessly pick on Ruger's flaws as you perceive them. I just wanted to point out that other makes have their foibles too.revhigh said:
