    I purchased a Ruger EC9s, it is like the LC9 except slide is a bit different and no chamber indicator and sights are not good as the LC, but the price can't be beat. may get to shoot it tomorrow. It also has a better trigger than the old LC like pictured.

    I just bought one too! It was 219 freaking dollars! I’ve been wanting a tiny gun for a long time. The ec9s is just like the lc9s except it comes with just one magazine and has fixed sights. Same otherwise is what the gun mags say.

    It has fewer ridges on the slide as you can see in the pic of the two and no chamber loaded indicator. rest is the same. for a pocket or small 9, the price is hard to beat.

    A friend of mine bought one recently for his first semi auto. I got to shoot it last week and it's good for what it is...a compact, affordable, close-range defensive pistol.

    Yeah, it's nothing special. nothing like shooting a sig, but it don't cost no where near a sig either.

    I shot the MK3 version in a local bullseye league, that gun will more than likely shoot more better than you, or I.

    MK2 was the pinnacle of Ruger rimfire guns.

    Lots of problem black bears that the Forest service relocates where like to spend time, I have 44 magnums but they are only six shooters. It came down to a choice between a 10 mm or a .357 Sig, I think I made a good choice!
