Gun Descriptions

 This is the Ruger EC9S, a "New & Improved" version of the highly-successful LC9S pistol. The EC9S is a striker-fired semi-auto designed for the concealed carry market. It uses the same magazines as the LC9S, with the biggest obvious difference between the two beings the fact that the sights on the EC9S are machined directly into the slide. The EC9S has a slim, lightweight and compact design, with glare-reducing rear facing cocking serrations and a finger grip extension floorplate that can be added to the 7-round magazine for comfort and improved grip. Safety features include integrated trigger safety, manual safety, magazine disconnect and an inspection port that allows for visual confirmation of a loaded or empty chamber.   Specifications: Weight: 17.2 oz. Overall Length: 6" Rate-of-Twist: 1-in-10" RH Additional Information: Glass-Filled Nylon Frame Striker-Fired

The Ruger LC380, chambered in the popular .380 Automatic cartridge, is a great choice for single stack concealed carry pistol. In fact, this handgun has a width of less than an inch and only weighs 17.2 ounces. Additionally Ruger has incorporated a lightweight polymer frame, alloy steel slide, and fixed sights into the popular LC380. Comparable to the proven LC9, this version in .380 kicks less than a 9mm Luger and is great for shooters with weak hands. The perfect pairing of the award-winning LC9 pistol and the popular 380ACP cartridge. Dovetailed, High-Visibility 3-DOT Sight System with windage adjustable rear sight and fixed front sight. Checkered Grip Frame provides a secure and comfortable grip. Includes internal lock, manual safety, magazine safety, and loaded chamber indicator, which provides confirmation of a loaded or empty chamber.
