Frequently Asked Questions
Ruger LC9s for sale
What is the difference between a Ruger LC9 and a Ruger LC9S?
The LC9 is hammer-fired with a heavy, long trigger pull. The LC9s is striker-fired with a shorter, lighter trigger. Both are 9mm pistols with the same dimensions and magazine capacity of 7 or 10 rounds. The LC9s was introduced specifically to address complaints about the original's trigger.
What magazines are compatible with Ruger LC9s?
Ruger LC9s pistols accept factory Ruger 7-round and 9-round extended magazines. LC9 and EC9s magazines are also compatible. ProMag's RUG17 fits as well but is a 10-round extended option, not a standard capacity magazine. Always verify compatibility before purchasing aftermarket magazines.
Can you dry fire a Ruger LC9s?
Yes, Ruger states the LC9s can be dry-fired without damage. The manual recommends keeping an empty magazine inserted during dry fire. Snap caps are optional but not required.
What does LC9s stand for?
LC9s stands for "Lightweight Compact 9mm striker-fired." The "s" distinguishes it from the original hammer-fired LC9, indicating the striker-fired action Ruger added to provide a shorter, crisper trigger pull.
Can Ruger LC9s shoot +P?
Ruger rates the LC9s for standard 9mm and +P ammunition. Only +P+ loads are explicitly not recommended. You can use +P for self-defense, but avoid making it your primary range ammunition to reduce accelerated wear over time.
What are the common problems with Ruger 9mm?
Ruger 9mm subcompacts occasionally experience extractor issues causing feeding problems—improper tension or manufacturing debris under the extractor hook are common culprits. Slide release binding and excessive frame-to-slide clearance also occur. Most resolve through thorough cleaning, lubrication, and verifying extractor freedom of movement.
What are the key differences between the Ruger LC9s and LC9s Pro?
The LC9s Pro removes the external manual safety and magazine disconnect found on the standard LC9s. This allows faster target engagement without manually deactivating a safety and permits firing with the magazine removed. Both share identical dimensions, weight, and striker-fired action.
What is the best holster for a Ruger LC9s?
For concealed carry, Tulster's Profile Series IWB holster fits the LC9s well. For outside-the-waistband carry, Blade-Tech's Total Eclipse offers solid retention. If your LC9s has a laser, get a holster molded specifically for that configuration. Your carry method and comfort preferences should drive the final choice.
