Introducing the new Ruger PF9.... Wait that's a KEL-Tec. I mean the new LC9!
I hope that isn't the big surprise. :roll:

 

[DPris]

The afternoon announcement is still unknown, but 2011 would certainly be a good time for a Ruger 1911 intro....

In the meantime, the LC9 has more features than the little LCP.

It's on Rugers site now. What a let down. The new LC9. :roll: mehhhh.

Maybe next week it'll be a LC40.

SD,
I got the media announcement.
No "This Is The Gun You MUST Have!" verbiage, could be Ruger jumping ahead of the 2PM promise.
Could still be another one later today.

After all the hype I hope so DPris. That's an awful lot of hype to build up to them building a heavier version of the PF9.

 

[DemskeetSkeet]

Yep, they jumped the gun on the announcement.

The gun everyone must own is the lc9

Oops, in looking at the website again, appears to indeed be the Monday "You Gotta Have It!" announcement.

Actually they will probably sell a ton of them. This market was pretty much sewed up by Kel Tec & Kahr. Not something I have to have though.

Yup. At this price point they'll sell a bunch. Looking forward to getting some out for testing at police departments.

 

[tkarter]

They weren't right with the hype. I can live without one.

Yawn ............

Yawn?

Anybody want to buy my LCP? I see no need for it after I get an LC9.

 

[mbresortguy]

I must admit that I'm totally and completely underwhelmed....

But, on the brighter side, at least the Ruger marketing department had a nice workout.....

It's about a half inch longer and taller than my Kahr PM9, but smoother looking. Doesn't say anything in anything I've read so far about +P, but I've got to believe it'll handle it. Why would anybody come out with a new 9mm for CC that didn't handle it?! Will be interesting to see how Crimson Trace will rig up to it. Probably the same as on my PM 9.

Nice looking and I like the manual safety. (Just me. Learned on a Walther P-38 )

 

[jbadams66]

This is exactly what I was looking for a year or two ago. Ended up going with a M&P 9c but it is a bit larger than I want.

I bet ruger will sell a ton of these, hopefully I can get one.

Ruger did it again. They pissed me off. I buy a LCR wishing it was 357 instead of 38 only then they come out with a LCR in 357. I buy a LCP wishing it I could get something like it in 9mm. Now here it is. Son of a ...... :evil:
