Responding to their Voice of the Customer program, Ruger has announced the creation of the LC9.

The LC9 resembles the LCP as it is a compact, lightweight, double-action-only 9 mm pistol with a 3.12-inch barrel. Weighing on 17.1 ounces with an empty magazine, the LC9 is 6-inches long, 4.5-inches tall and .9-inches wide.

On the heels of the overwhelming and on-going success of the LCP, customers repeatedly requested a lightweight, compact 9 mm pistol. Frankly, they wanted an LCP chambered in 9 mm" said Ruger CEO Michael Fifer. "Delivering an American-made, compact 9 mm that provides the same legendary Ruger reliability as the award-winning LCP, LCR and SR9 became our focus. Meeting customer expectations is our goal and key to Ruger's continuing success."

The LC9 comes with one seven-round magazine with two interchangeable floorplates. The flat floorplate aids in concealment while the fingergrip floorplate provides more surface for contact. It also comes with highly visible three-dot sights, a single-sided manual safety and a magazine disconnect, and the slide locks open on an empty magazine.

    I was an early owner, late January. I have over 500 rds. through this gun without a single fail to feed or fail to eject withat least 4 different ammo brands. It groups consistently but not spectacularly. Just about what I expected. Easy to carry although I'd prefer the punch of my Kimber UC.

    I've got a LCP and love it but the new LC9 isn't worth a flip - - In order to hit around the belt line you have to aim at the head - - The rounds go all over the place and I tried 3 different brands of ammo and they all shot about the same - - I took the thing home, cleaned it and put it baxk in the safe until I can get rid of it - - I qualify every year with an XD9 and always shoot 238 to 240 out of 240 so I find it hard to believe the poor accuracy of the LC9 is just me!!!

    just got an LC9 this week, shot 2 clips through it today, with no problems. A little gun with a big punch. I like it.
