I just spoke to Ruger, and they are saying they currently do not offer a striker fired LC9, however the agent told me if they should introduce such a gun, it will first show up on their website, so keep checking the website. Why would he tell me this if it wasn't coming?

I just received a flyer on the LC9s from one of my distributors this morning. It's striker fired with a safety in the trigger, ala Glock. It uses all of the same accessories and holster of the LC9, including magazines. I then checked the Ruger website, nothing, which is not unusual. The flyer shows a chart indicating a much quicker trigger release than the LC9. The LC9s has a safety as well. Bob!

Wonder if the mag safety is as easy to remove as the SR series?

Oath of secrecy. Letting the cat out of the bag early has spoiled a number of high visibility releases in the past. The person you spoke to is keeping the promise he made, all the way to the end.
WAYNO.

Ruger should have done this with the LC9 from the beginning.
...Curious that the new LC9S has both the Glock-style "safe-action" trigger and a manual safety. Might help in states like CA and MA, though...

Looks like they also got rid of the huge loaded chamber flag.

Looks like the value of my hammer fired LC9 just went down.

Converting a hammer fired gun to a striker fired gun is not going to happen. To many changes.

Should be MA compliant. Enough actions to shoot. CA requires the Loaded chamber indicator - Not on the LC9s.

You can forget about converting the hammer fired LC9 to a striker fired gun. This involves substantial changes to the slide and lower components. The new LC9s internally is going to be very different, than the original LC9. I am surprised they were able to retain the same exterior shape and dimensions. The original LC9 had great ergonomics: size, shape, weight, felt recoil, but a poorly designed trigger pull. Ruger has apparently fixed the trigger with the new model, which was always the major complaint about the LC9.

I beg to differ on the trigger pull being poor. From my talking to Ruger, they wanted a long revolver like trigger pull on the LC9. Thats what they got. The inner / outer trigger was added as an additional safety device due to the shorter striker trigger pull. IMHO.

Well I'm with some of you. I'm in a spot as my wife and I each have a LC9 so another LC9 is not going to fly. any other gun not so much of a issue with the wife she's good about it. Not going to sell one for another just learned not to do that over the years. When I was younger that's the only way I could swing it. Just kicked myself to many times doing that. I would sure like to try one out! I like the idea! But there are still going to be die hard Hammer fired guy's out there.. Ya I do think there value went down a bit for now but we will have to wait and see how well there liked.. I think a fair price could be had for a hammer fired LC9 in decent shape even now. IMO I think a fair price would be in the $225 range for a use one. Some may feel that's low I don't know. At least I like my LC9 and so does the wife! George
Ya know, the LC9 is what it is, or is what it was. A little bitty throw away gun that could be expected to operate satisfactorily when called upon. Then people that don't understand a DA gun whined about the DA trigger pull. I'm surprised that Ruger caved in and changed it to striker fired. My money would bet that folks will whine about the striker fired model, too. :wink: :mrgreen:
Your mileage may vary.
WAYNO. But what do I know.

And one arrived at my LGS/Range yesterday. My buddies and I had a good time fondling it and we concurred on the opinion that the example we tried had a great, great trigger. YMMV

Jeff Quinn seems to really like it:

If it proves reliable, I might pick one of these up myself.

I have asked the folks at Ruger if they would ship a LC9s with the 9-round magazine instead of the 7-round one. I would prefer the greater capacity that 9+1 would afford me. It would be a big improvement over my 5-shot Ruger LCR in 38spl. No word back yet about their willingness to meet my request on this.
WelshAmerican said:
I'm also replacing my Ruger LCR with the LC9s if it performs like it should. I carry mine in a ankle holster and I know the LC9 will weight a tad more but not enough to bother me. I didn't realize that Ruger made a 9rd mag for the LC9.

They sell them on Shop Ruger .com. By the way, I don't carry my LC9 with the extended magazine as it adds too much length to conceal effectively.

ShopRuger charges $44.95 for the 9-round magazine, and it serves well in both LC9 and LC9s models.
That said, it's probably unwise to get something that HipShot has already found to be difficult to conceal.
Next question: Would a 9-round magazine carried separately be more difficult to conceal than a 7-round mag?

I carry my 9 round magazine in the car as a spare. Sometimes I throw it my back pocket.
If you need to go to it, you brought the wrong gun.

Saw a CL9s today at LGS, it had a really great trigger, would have bought it but price was a little high at $376.95, will wait for price to drop down to about $350.00. It appeared the MDS on it is the same as on the LC9 and LC380, at least that is how it looked when looking at the trigger, hopefully it can be removed the same way.
