I don't think it is a shame, it just isn't a pocket gun like the LCP IMHO. The LC9 is much closer to a Walther 380 or PPK or other sub sub-compact guns. They are a lot easier to conceal than a double stack 9mm.ShortMan wrote:I just saw the LC9 when I was browsing Rugers site. Looks nice but according to their own pics its definitely bigger than the LCP. I have small hands and since I wear small jeans that also means little pockets. Wont be putting this one in my pocket from the looks of it.
Shame, its otherwise a nice gun.

I'm not a fan of the internal key lock, either...

I believe most Rugers have them now.CCFan wrote:I'm not a fan of the internal key lock, either...
They do seem to be better than the S&W locks - I've never heard of the Ruger lock failing and disabling the gun.
Re: New Ruger LC9
Fortunately, that's not yet true. All Ruger revolvers made today except the LCR are free of such lock baggage, as is the 10/22. The SR9 has a magazine disconnect, true, but no key lock, and the mag disconnect is pretty easily removed. I don't believe the P-series has a nanny-lock either.

Re: New Ruger LC9
How about gun manufacturers just forget CA and make guns for the rest of us. I'd totally go out and buy a new gun from manufacturers who cut out the internal lock, mag disconnect and chamber indicator nonsense. I wish they would quite shipping them with those cheap locks too.

Re: New Ruger LC9
My P345 has a lock. I haven't had the grips off my SP101s lately so I don't remember if they do or not; their DA revolvers used to have locks but if they've deleted them then that's good news.CowboyT wrote:Fortunately, that's not yet true.

I've got a Taurus Millenium Pro in .45 with a key lock on the slide...funny thing about the owner's manual...

Re: New Ruger LC9
As a Ruger fan I'm pretty excited about this gun. I love my P95 because it is so reliable and durable. It fires everything and has never had a single problem. Its just too big to cc realistically. I don't like the .380 of the LCP, so I think this LC9 would fit my needs perfectly and I will be watching it after it comes out to see what the street price is.
