Ruger EC9s vs LC9s...

Can anyone explain why the difference of $250.00 between the EC9s MSRP: $329, and the LC9s MSRP: $579.00?

The ECPs have integrally fixed sights while the LC9s have an adjustable sight. Other than the sights aren't the guns EXACTLY the same?

Well, the sights on the EC9s are machined into the top of the slide and therefore are fixed making it cheaper to manufacture. Both the LC9s and EC9s list the finish as "Black Oxide". I suspect the slide is polished a bit more before the finish is applied but I'm just guessing.

So, other than the sights they are the same pistol.

BTW, if you have a Rural King store near you they have the EC9s for $249. It was in stock the last time I checked a few days ago.

I bought my EC9s at Rural King 2 1/2 years ago. IIRC, it was on sale for either $179 or $189. Mine is super reliable and will even feed Speer 9mm shot shells!
