NiB Ruger LC9s pro

I liked my original LC9 okay. The trigger was stiff though (and long, IIRC), so I eventually traded it towards something else.

The LC9s pro is getting to be relatively inexpensive. I got this one for $273 plus shipping and FFL. I'm not sure if that's a great deal or not, but it seemed reasonable.

The trigger is nice, way better than the original: it's pretty light and has a short travel distance. The sights are plenty large for a small pistol, and are easy to see. The grip is thin enough that I would wonder how the recoil will be, but I don't recall that it was bad with the original. I'm glad that it doesn't have a safety. I don't like safeties on carry pieces, and I don't use them on range toys, either.

If I like it enough, it might become part of my carry rotation.

If you own one, comments and advice would be appreciated. Where is the best place to get a spare magazine? Does anyone have recommendations for holsters, or for ammo that it prefers (or doesn't prefer)?

Thanks for the tip, 460Shooter.

I just now ordered two brand-new factory Ruger mags for $38, with free shipping.

"Last I heard the LC9s Pro had been discontinued."


Yeah, I read on this very board that they were discontinued or about to be discontinued, and that their prices were pretty low as a result.

That's when I started looking for one.

I finally got it out to the range today. I was pleased. It had one malfunction: one round failed to fire, even though the primer was dented. I assume it was a faulty round, since that was the only malfunction out of 50 or more rounds (I didn't really keep track). The original magazine and the two I bought from ebay all worked fine.

This was the last pistol I shot out of the six that I brought. I was getting tired and my hands were a bit shaky. Even under those circumstances, its accuracy was very good.

It fits my XXL hands surprisingly well, with the pinky extension base plate. I tried holding it with the flush base plate, and I don't think I could shoot it very well that way.

I dry fired it just a few times after I got it, and the trigger felt really nice. It felt even better at the range this morning. The trigger is short, crisp, and fairly light.

I like the sights. They aren't large enough to snag easily, but they are large enough for me to see them and use them easily.

The recoil didn't bother me at all. There was a certain amount of muzzle flip, which is to be expected from such a small and light 9mm pistol, but it was easily manageable and not at all painful.

Even with me being tired and my hands being kind of shaky, I shot a very respectable group with it. Its POI seems to be just a little bit to the right of the POA. I'll have to take it to the range a few more times with different kinds of ammo to see whether or not that's consistent. If so, it looks like the rear sight is adjustable for windage.

I definitely like it. I'm not sure if I'll end up liking it better than my Glock 43, but it will be fun to shoot them side by side and see how they compare.
