Ruger LC9

[Nsw550]

I anticipate that I will trade my LCP for Ruger's new LC9 after I get to see it in person. I absolutely love the LCP's demensions for pocket carry. I know the LC9 will be slightly larger but hopefully near as thin...maybe too large for pocket carry. The reason I would be willing to ditch my LCP for the LC9 is my preference of the 9mm (please don't turn this into a 9 vs .380 thread). Couple things I noticed that I do not like is that the LC9 has a manual safety and magazine safety.
Option B....Sig's new p290

How many other people are interested in picking up one of these guys once they are available this February?

you need a Kahr pm9

That doesn't address the OP's question in any way, but thanks.

BTW, not everyone wants to spend an extra $300 that they don't have to.

Yes, I plan on giving serious consideration to the LC9, but probably next year after the initial rush.

From what I've seen it's an improved kel-tec PF9. Given Ruger's recent history of recals with new releases I sure as heck won't buy one till they've been out for a while and the bugs have been worked out. Whenever you buy the first run of a new model you are going to find some bugs. Not trying to be pessimistic, but that's the reality of the situation. I sure hope I'm wrong.

I'll probably buy one.

But I believe it will not replace my LCP - it is larger.

You can pre-order the LC9's from Buds. I believe they are $389 IIRC.

For my I want to get my hands on one to feel it. It is a single stack and might make a great backup gun!

I am interested in seeing one in person so that I can see how they actually feel in my hand. I might end up buying one to just have and maybe use as a backup, ankle, or pocket gun. Not real sure yet. I just know it is going to be hard to give my lcp up as a pocket gun because it is so easily concelable.

I agree the LCP is about the perfrect warm weather pocket gun I've ever owned.

It will definitely not replace my LCP. It will likely fit in between my two current carry guns for various clothing circumstances.....

LCP = Pocket
LC9 = IWB
Glock 26 = OWB

Yep

i wonder which Kel-tec design Ruger will copy next?

Whichever one it is I'm sure it'll have a recal.

My concern is that the LC9 may be too big for inside the pocket carry (for me anyway). Looking forward to checking it out.
