It's interesting that everything you don't like about the EC9s are the very things that I actually do like. I like the trigger, I like the looks and the grip. I honestly have no complaints at all.
That actually seems to be a common held belief of many people that own the EC9s. I guess it just proves the old cliche right of "one man's trash is another man's treasure". Though I definitely wouldn't consider the EC9s trash, the principle is true.
I have a LC9S Pro and it's got a light trigger. I'm not sure if Ruger put more weight to the triggers or not. Practice, practice, practice, shoot it like a Kahr or a revolver, you'll get it.
The EC 9S is my daily carry. And I absolutely love the classic lines. And after putting about 1000 rounds through it it has had no issues. I finally decided to clean it and it literally took me less than 10 minutes. It’s a fantastic handgun and I am actually thinking about picking up another one just for the hell of it.
Right it is thin but ...i just put a houge grip $10 on ebay..feel good now i love mine Deep concealment....got the techna clip on mine fits perfectly on the belt...and when SHTF and the robber is on your ass you not going to be looking/ feeling to feel the trigger reset
I understand that you're simply offering your opinion, but too many people are critical of this pistol as a range/target pistol, which is not its intended use. This pistol is for deep concealment/truck gun/back up/budget carry/and the like. It's reliable and does what It's intended to do perfectly.
Love this gun. I used to have the original LC9 hammer fire version with the infamous extremely long trigger pull. This one is more improved. No issues, no failures, especially for the price point and Ruger's warranty and customer service, that it's excellent.
It's a great CC pistol. Shot hundreds of rounds through it with absolutely no malfunctions. Accurate and the best no imprint carry 9mm. They could've priced this gun for a lot more like the Savage Stance which is now down to almost $300 from $400+. In a bad situation at about 15 yards, you will be able to neutralize the problem real quick. With a zero-carry holster, this gun is almost unnoticeable not only to everyone else but especially if you carry a spare tire. It's comfortable and fits perfectly at the 3 and 4 o'clock position for me. Everyone has their opinion about all these CC pistols on youtube. I don't trust any opinion except my own. Go to the range, rent one and see for yourself.
I'm on my 2nd EC9s, I traded my first one for a Taurus revolver, I wish I hadn't. I've had S&W, Taurus, Glock, Ruger. They each had/have their own good and bad. But the Ruger never let me down with misfires or anything else. It felt like the best overall choice. So I'll stay with this one, and I have an LCP as a back up, which also has never let me down with any issues. So, depending on the outfit of the day, it will determine which one I conceal carry. But I'm staying with Ruger.
I also added a Hogue grip and put red nail polish on the front sight after paying $199 for this gun earlier this year. Other than the annoying magazine disconnect, I cannot imagine a better EDC 9mm at this price point.
Thanks for the feedback @Marc Barclay! With a few enhancements like the ones you mentioned, it is definitely a contender! I shot really well with it. How long have you had it and how has its reliability been?
Bullet Basics I actually picked it up this past February before the pandemic created a run on guns and ammo. I have put about 100 rounds through it since then with zero issues shooting premium brass FMJ, cheap steel case FMJ and Hydra -Shock JHP ammo. It is not my preferred range gun as the size/weight make it a little snappy, but it is surprisingly accurate at 10 yards even with the milled sights and short sight radius. The best part is its versatility as it fits comfortably in a Kydex IWB holster and in a Desantis pocket holster with minimal printing. At $199, this is my leave in the car firearm when I am unable to carry it.
Drilled a 3/16 inch hole about 1/16 inch deep in the three places on the sights where the dots would be then filled those cavities with glow paint. Sights are much better now.
Appreciate your candid feedback - refreshing. I bought one years ago and forgot about it until now. Put about 50 rounds thru and my impressions were similar to yours. Going to take it out and and have some fun. Thanks again.
I love mine. Had the same complaints but easy fixes except the damn mag release. The laser sight add on is great plus the extended 9 round mag gives it a better grip.
Galloway precision makes a trigger called the aegis. This trigger makes a world of difference with the pull length and reset. Highly recommended if you are competent with disassembly enough to get the trigger out. Also recommend the hogue grip for the grip thickness problem. I have both on mine and carry eveyday. Have shot many times since upgrading the trigger with no reliability issues. This is a great gun for what its meant for. You will forget that you're carrying if you're not careful.
I love this gun. Had it a year and have about 1,000 rounds thru it, doesn't jam, very accurate. Put Hogue grips on it, and painted the front sight orange.
I bought this for concealment and jam proof reviews got me sold, I have a Glock and a Sig but this for some reason is what I love to carry. It is snappy and does hurt your hand but then it’s a get the hell off of me type gun which is what is needed.
I just shot one today for the first time holy shit is it good .. accurate as hell and trigger is amazing I ran about 150 rounds not one failure so far... very very impressed November 9/2020
I'm happy with my ecs9, but i did get carried away. I went with the rouge beaver tail grip, which completely changes the feel. Very comforatble to hold. Added a lasermax centerfire laser with light and gripsense. To increase practicallity for a wider range of scenerios, atleast in my mind lol. Also got the aegis short stroke trigger which also eliminated the magazine disconnect saftey. Just get it, no need to thank me. The only iwb holster i have found to fit the lasermax was the crossbreed freedom carry and it seems fine but its still being broke in. It fits the gun well and is comfortable as an appendix carry for a skinny fellow like myself. I also ordered a new back plate with the punisher skull and an aluminum extended mag floor plate with my intials laser engraved. Like i said, defiantly carried away, modified and customized to suit me. Its my daily carry so i figured i might want to dress it up since its the firearm my peers are most likely to see
Just picked one up for 299. Pandemic prices be crazy. I personally like snappy guns I think they're more fun to shoot. I'm excited to try this bad boy out at the range.
You are really really picky about the EC9s. I fired my friends hellcat that he brags about and that is the one I didn't care for. I felt it was snappy...I love the size, gave my SW M&P to my wife, it's my conceal carry choice. I've not had issues jamming or pulling the trigger.
Awesome video review. Got this gun myself a few weeks ago and have really really loved it. Perfect for concealed carry in the summer. I agree that the sights and grip aren’t perfect but as you said you get what you pay for. Can’t wait for more videos from you guys!
Thanks for the feedback @Jonathan Garcia! Yes it's still a very good gun. The only gripes I had are preference items. It functioned perfectly throughout the review, which is all that really matters. Stay tuned. Lots of good stuff is on the way!
Reliability is more important than ergos and absolute accuracy in a small concealed pistol!!! You can live with it not being the most comfortable to shoot, you can live with the fact that it isn't shooting 1 inch groups at 10 yards, but you CANNOT live with it ever going click instead of bang, nor can you live with it being ammo picky!!! You need to be able to run everything available on any shelf at 100 percent!!! Both of these pistols should do that just fine!!!
I think people have come to expect a whole lot out of budget pistols. I think the ec9s trigger is good, but recoil catches you by surprise, but these guns are just designed to grab you a reliable carry gun for 239. Pick it up while your grabbing some snacks and a couple packs of fish hooks at bass pro and it'll work when you need it
The Ec9s is accurate and reliable a very capable pistol. I added a hogue grip sleeve, I put magguts in 2 magazines making them 8+1, and I painted the sights with glow on. This gives you a comfortable grip, extra rounds and the capability of night shooting when you "charge" your sights with a flashlight. These additions seem to address the bulk of your dislikes about this pistol while enhancing its versatility and effectiveness.
I put a cheap thin grip along with a Hogue, sounds nuts but it does the trick, felt too narrow before, a Kydex minimalist, forget I got it apendixed, oranged up the front with nail paint,framed it with white in back and gotta a (yeahoksnappy)but reliable accurate EDC for less than 3 bills,will switch out the trigger tho-the reset is a stretch, aesthetics ? idc It's a gun not a watercolor😼
Love both of my ec9s and lc9s, the es9s is a house gun that my sister keeps in her room. I carry my lc9s, when I need a bigger pistol than my lcp or a smaller one than my glock.
If anyone is having issues with the safety, like him. Just push the red indicator in a little bit, they tend to wiggle out some and bind up the thumb safety
Removed the thumb safety on Mine( was digging into my thumb everytime i shot, due to how slim it is in ergos) also removed the stupid magazine disconnect, now it’s better than ever, also recommended painting and applying some glow in the dark paint on the front sight bead and applying some rubber grip tape.
I have a friend that bought one. He hasn't shot it yet , but he was on a budget and wanted a conceal carry pistol. I tried to talk him into a better gun but he I guess couldn't afford to. But I said this will work but might be a snappy gun . But of course these aren't meant to be range guns but emergency self defense and Ruger does make guns that are reliable even being snappy course my Hellcat is snappy too.
I'm a suckered I paid 299. Was during the pandemic. I waited to long i didn't want this but they didn't have much so it works for now. But glad its new at least
There was another comment I got saying I was the sucker. Someone else got it for $199 last year. Nothing like paying the pandemic premium! But it's a great gun. It's not my first choice, but it is good! Eventually this shortage will be over, though, and everything will be back in stock.
Yeah you know what hit me the worst is the bullet used to be 20bucks now its 50 I hope that goes down I have 7 bullets in my edc an thats all I got haha thanks for reply !!
Mine does that too once in a while. For some reason the top bullet slides forward at top of mag, so it always helps to slap it on my knee to seat them properly.
@@DickRileyTheConquistador I'm having an issue with mine that when I flick the safety off I have to pull the slide back a little to get it to go back. It might be because It's always loaded and the springs getting weak
Did you get yours on sale? Or was it normal price? I haven't seen the price that low since I was looking for one. Doesn't help that there has been a gun shortage for basically the entire year.
as you know it is a person choice what they pick up or afford......i have one this is the only 9mm i have the price is help me decide....have not had any problems with it.....bought 4years ago.....
The predecessor, LC9S Pro was so much better and of the best subcompact single stacks ever including the Glock 43. It had an adjustable 3 dot sight and optional pinky extension 7+1 or 9+1 mag option. Unfortunately, the prices got up to over $400 and Ruger needed a less expensive option. ALL 9mm single stack ultracompacts are going to be snappy and that’s why you might want to go with a .380 My preference is the Glock 42 with the Vicker’s Tactical +2 add on kit. The 42 is now my EDC of choice since it is so light with 8+1, accurate with low recoil. With Hornaday Critical Defense I have no concerns about defensive “stopping ability.”
The rugers for their size aren't as snappy as some others especially with those long beefy guide rails instead of tabs that some companies use that let the frame flex. These little rugers don't jump bad at all, especially for their size

It’s reliable to of Course
This isn't a target pistol. It's a deep concealment pistol.

Exactly! My glock 44 is a target pistol!
