I have been looking at micro 9s a lot and really wanted a max9 or a 365. Would have bought a g43 a couple times. The market is just so slammed with good options that it’s hard to figure out where to send money. Got bored at work waiting on my load to be billed out and I got to cruising Rural King. With things kicking up a touch from the recent events I expected a response from POTUS and when I stumbled across the gray framed EC9s for $250. I really like things that are gray, and it’s not so crazy as to look like a toy. They had been out of stock every time I looked (not very often or seriously considering buying) I punched the buy button. Literally 2 minutes after I got the email confirmation I refreshed my news feed and sure enough POTUS is yammering on about gun control. I guess my timing was pretty fair. And pricing is about what I remember it being a couple years ago so I figured it’s a good enough buy even at “normal” price. Now I just need the gun to get here so I can work on a holster and work on a 9mm defense load that will work in it.

Maybe this old revolver guy can learn to love one of these bottom feeders.
 
Nice grab! I just picked up a Beretta APX A1 Carry in gray. After rebate, I'll be into it for ~$250 as well. Enjoy your new Ruger!!
 
I had an ec9 that i sold to a buddy with about 400 rounds through it no issues to speak of. I did really like it, my only reservation is the grip was a bit thin for me. Great gun all around though especially for the price
 
I like the ec9s! No issues at all. I did buy a Promag 10 rounder. I had issues with the Promag as it would work with the first 8 rounds then the slide would pop open leaving 2 more rounds to be fired. I attribute this to the Promag needing a break-in period. I have 2 Promag 10 rounders and both needed this. Be patrient with Promags. They get a lot of bad PR. But both of mine needed a break-in with the ec9s.
 
Had I not sold it already id probably have done that. I currently have an str9 sub compact which worked out for me because I like the thick grip. I also have a shield plus on order coming soon but I do have love for the ec9 still
