Ruger LC9s Pro

[@jgg204]

LC9S Pro is my CCW, with the LCRX 38 special as a backup. honest to god, the LC9S Pro has the best trigger of any 9mm i have ever shot...full size, compact, you name it. after shooting the LC9S for a bit, it's actually a struggle to go back to another 9mm because the trigger feels inferior. Ruger really hit a homerun with this one the LC9S Pro truly rocks

[@johnfernandez7221]

Never tire of his videos. Great guns,reviews,and personality to go with it. On heck of a pistol shot,too!

[@w0dpd]

I bought the wife the LC9s for Christmas, she loves it. Where I used to bug her to go shooting, she's know telling me lets go. She's been carrying it and hasn't had anything negative to say about it!

[@hickok45]

w0dpd Good news!

[@lwrii1912]

My son purchased a Ruger LC9 and left it with me while he is stationed in Germany. I must say that I have many Ruger firearms and am well pleased with all of them. I like the idea of the LC9 but am not pleased with the one my son has. It rattles quite a bit and both front and rear sights came loose during firing at the gun range. Only 50 rounds were shot. Not a giant issue, a punch on the dovetail on the front and an alan wrench on the rear and it's up and running again. I trust Mr. Hickok45 and his praise of this firearm. If I were to purchase one it would be on his glowing recommendation and not my experience. I guess I just shot the occasional lemon every manufacturer produces when a certain quantity is reached. It would also be the LC9s pro for all the reasons Mr. Hickok45 espoused. Thanks for reinforcing my faith in Ruger, a fine American gun manufacturer and a solid no nonsense review as always. How should I end this? Oh yea, "life is good".

[@trxquadguy4296]

I have one of the original LC9. Kinda wish I had the LC9s Pro. Glad to see they fixed the trigger.

[@JacksonWalter735]

You can always sell it and get the newer one (especially in today's gun market where people are panic buying during a pandemic/election year). That's what my grandfather did and he got almost the same value back as the price he paid when the original LC9 first game out.

[@trxquadguy4296]

[@ECHO4CH4RL13]

im glad Ruger addressed the "weaknesses" of the LC9s, it was off my "wants" list for both the safety and magazine disconnect features.

[@Mossb3rg206]

@hitchok45 this was exactly what i needed to hear to solidify my decision on trading out my newer Lc9s, for the newish Gold Slide pro model... ill wear both for a while until my basic one sells, but im so glad to hear that the mag safety isnt implemented in the better looking Gold pro model, as the color and no thumb safety were strikes 1 n 2, the mag safety has caused so much of a nuisance... and because it was my first day carry, the thumb safety was nice for keeping one chambered as a rookie or for just no holster belt tucking. now its convenient like a glock with only 8 rounds... but 2 of them, 16 rounds... sounds like fun. thx again, youre usually the selling point after personal research

[@The_Barney_Rubble]

Bought my wife this gun for Christmas and we both love it. Sights are dead on and the trigger is awesome. I honestly enjoy shooting it more than my glock 19. When Hickok says that a trigger might be too light for carry, take his word for it. It took a couple mags for me to be confident with it

[@montechester]

Getting the Pro on Tuesday. It will be my new primary pocket carry for sure. Thanks, as always, for the timely post!

Thank you Hickok. I saw a LC9s in my local gun store and it felt nice, but felt like i needed to watch a review of the gun first. So i went home, 3 hours later they called me up and said the one i was looking at had sold. they dont stay on the shelf long these days. so after i got threw your review of the LC9s, i saw on the right in the suggestions box another video from you. It was This video for the Pro model. after watching it I slept on it for a couple days, i stopped by the gun store and told them i wanted them to find me one. It was like fate. they had a limited edition gold slide Ruger LC9s Pro. The gold finish was stunning and made it so easy to write the check(i used a card). I'm plan on taking it shooting this Sunday right after the Seahawks beat the Panthers. I've been watching your videos for years, and I likely watched the videos you did on these rugers, and it didnt click in my head how nice of a gun they were until i saw one in the little store down town. its nice knowing i can come back to your channel, search for what I am looking at, and get an honest review of hundreds of firearms. Keep it up Sir. It's safe to say you are the most famous gun reviewer on the internet.

[@tompelley949]

[@WoodDRebel]

+tom pelley , My Dad had a brand new Kimber Solo he took with us, so we both had new guns to try out. Kimber says you have to have expensive ammo for the solo, but at 700$ it was a total disappointment. We put threw 40 rounds of hot 9mm and it couldnt get threw one magazine. thats not acceptable. My LC9s pro on the other hand fired everything and anything we put threw it. It was a very naturaly accurate gun and so much of that is because of the trigger. Man i cant explain how well that trigger pulls. considerably nicer then my colt 1911 and glock 19. Summery of this is i spent half the price on my pistol that my dad spent on his, and he Wish he would have gotten this little ruger instead.

[@law7dog]

I bought the original Lc9 for my wife a few years back and we both shoot it well. Took awhile to get that long double action trigger to break in but it is a very accurate weapon. As much as I want to to trade it in for the Lc9S ,i keep reminding myself there's no need to replace something that aint broken.

[@chrisreynolds3138]

[@benjamins7229]

hickok, i always thought your commenters on the videos were insane. but, after watching some other videos on things im interested in, it's always a relief to come back to the good ol' folks who comment on your videos. i know you have seen it all, and not all of them are good. but for the most part, your fanbase is pretty level-headed compared to the rest of youtube. keep it up man, we love the vids.

[@hickok45]

B3N S Thanks. I agree. Because of our large audience, there ARE going to still be the small percentage of anonymous little trolls here, too, but it could be much worse. I think our lack of "ranting" and our lack of interest in creating "KZbin drama" by hating on people to get viewers keeps the environment around here just a bit more sane, at least "sane" in terms of operating within this gigantic ocean of anonymity. The Trolls and "keyboard warriors" will always be with us. Also, I think that sometimes our videos bring out the "envy" in some folks and they react badly. There must be thousands of shooters out there who watch our videos and say to themselves, "Geez, I can do anything he can do, and I have a camera and KZbin channel; how does that idiot get over a million subscribers!" Well, they probably "ain't" far wrong. The difference is mainly that we actually got started and DID it, are DOING it. Some of the envy-laden comments from the less mature portion of these people strikes me as the most sad and pathetic. They could maybe do exactly what John and I are doing and let the envy take them over as they pen some insulting Trollish comment, rather than putting their effort into making some good videos. :-) It's all good, though, and we're happy that for the most part young guys and gals can watch the videos and not be too shocked if they read comments. They are the future of the 2nd Amendment.

Adam Gold Thanks. Yeah, people are funny about their preferences, whether it's guns, specific ammo, holsters, cars, religion, movies, computers, wine, etc. And, of course, sometimes those who are most likely to comment are those with the strongest opinions / obsessions and often those with the least experience. :-)

[@myfullnameishere9485]

Hickock - thank you for your contribution. The LC9S has become one of my "all-time" favorites in 25 years as a firearms enthusiast and CC permit holder. Everyone likes striker fired as they are easier to master, and cost less, of course, and those characteristics are some of the central things that made Glock famous. A new wave of striker fired pistols is hitting the markets in a big way. Particularly the Shield, LC9S and VP9 have characteristics that are different from Glock in the way that the trigger breaks while the trigger finger is more extended, giving a sense that it is earlier and not so deep into the back of the trigger guard. This extended-forward breaking point, I believe, is what makes the LC9S and those other guns so sweet to shoot. The trigger is indeed light, and in fact is right in the territory of the 1911 both in weight and position...I think that the demographic market for the sub-compact, single-stack 9mm will need the Safety, while the "Pro" model is just that = it fills the need for those who are highly experienced and under constant threat. Just my $0.02. More power to you.

Thanks for the new video, Hickok45! I've liked much about the LC9 for a few years but couldn't live with the long DA style trigger. Then the LC9s fixed that and I knew Ruger had me. Fortunately I dragged my heels a while until I saw the Lc9s PRO for the first time in person last week. I bought it on the spot! What a great little pistol, kudos to Ruger for sticking with the LC9 until they got it right. The M&P Shield has real competition now.

[@coolkid6364]

dry fire practice is the best thing to do if you cant get alot of range time. hang a target on your wall and practice focusing on the front sight post (let the target get fuzzy), slowly pull trigger while keeping the front sight from moving and dry fire. you will think you have it down but once there's a bullet in the chamber you may want to anticipate the shot, just try to pretend its empty and you are just doing another dry fire drill.

[@johnklein9860]

Still lovin my LC9s. I like my thumb safety. Mag safety, not so much. Thanks for the update.

[@stevenm322]

I love this gun. It is really the perfect ccw out there. Small and slim, you carry it with the original 7-round mag in it. The 7-round mag makes the grip a bit shorter and easier to hide with the shorter grip. A great trigger and easy to become a great shot with this gun. You can carry 9 round magazines with you as easy as the 7. The extra length on the 9 rounder gives you a longer grip which is nice too. The little finger extension that comes with the gun is very nice too. I put the hogue handall jr that also has finger grooves and that makes the gun perfect for me to shoot with. The lasermax laser for this gun also is slim and trim and works great with this gun also. I never thought I would ever really like a small pistol like this but it shoots so great I am now a believer in this great slim pistol. P.S. At home next to me in bed I put in the 9-rounder with one in the chamber and I am ready for anything with 10 shots ready to go without stopping . I own one 7 and two 9 round mags and that is all I need. There are a lot of great holsters for this gun and many after market products if you like. Last, I bought the DeSantis holster for your pocket. It stops it from printing and covers the trigger nicely for safety. The outer tacky rubber outer skin , grabs on to your inner pocket cloth to keep it from pulling out with the gun.There is a little cut out you can draw the gun against the edge of you pocket if you feel like the holster is coming out with it. To keep it tacky just wipe with a cloth damp with windex now and then to keep the lint and dust off, so it stays better. It is just like a cell phone pad on your dash that holds it in place. I think you will love it.

[@1SGPARKER]

Kudos, hickock45. Just watching you put rounds on target makes my day. I'd rather have your six than be downrange of you in a fight.

For the longest time with the lc9s I kept the chamber empty safety off. it had jammed on me the fire in Decatur is the PIN for the sheer. It had slit out enough to get in the way of the slide. Thankfully I was only at the range and had a 556 to push it in.

Applied for my concealed 2 weeks ago and am now taking the month to deliberate and find one I am comfortable with. Still trying to get comfortable with something poking me in the hip when I sit and not think the thing will go off and shoot me randomly. I put this gun in the belly band holster in the store and tried to see if that safety would pop off and it's pretty hard to move, doesn't disengage when going in and out of elastic holster and doesn't snag on the holster. Can't say what it will do when it gets some wear on it and it gets looser.

[@gjimage2151]

How bout a comparison of the LC9s Pro vs Sig P365? 😁

[@acdii]

I bought this a few years ago, but didn't know it was a no safety handgun. Only reason I got it was because it was $10 less than the non pro LC9s. The problem I have with it was finding a decent holster, everyone I tried was difficult to insert the gun and I dry fired a few times trying to get it in. I finally found a holster that works and can now insert and not worry about shooting myself in the ass. :) Accuracy has been superb and rapid fire very easy, though reman brass tends to jam while steel did not, but my CCW loads are nickel plated and fire nice. I found the Crossbreed mini tuck fits nicely, especially with my overly sized love handles.

Nice to see they came out with a model without the thumb safety and the mag safety...

[@sluggo48313]

Great video as always. I had an LC9 and I traded it last month for an LC9s Pro. Love the trigger and no thumb safety. I had a Pachmayr rubber sleeve on each one. Helps put my trigger finger "pad" on the trigger. Great gun. Splits time my Kahr CM9. Keep up the good work.

Great pistol! Pro model corrected many problems with the LC9 models

[@paulx2777]

I was in the gun shop looking at a LC9s Pro, decided to buy it (sold mainly on the trigger, which is quite good). Guy went in the back to get me one in the box rather than chasing down the box for the display gun. Got home, found it was a non-Pro model. Oh well! It's a very long drive to get back there, and I hate another run through the bureaucracy, so I will live with it. I just don't care that much. Gun works pretty well. No jams yet. Got a slight trigger bite but to be expected with such a light gun and it wasn't enough to bother me. Grip is almost too thin for my taste, but hey. I did run into a (literal) snag with the magazine. When inserting it, I get a dead stop at the mag release. If I tilt the mag toward the button side it slides in fine, but tilt the other way and it stops dead, can't be forced. I'll have to remember that in the middle of a fire fight, heh. Could send it in, but who needs the grief? Maybe I'll take the release apart and see if something needs stoning.

LC9s was my first handgun purchase and is still my carry

[@gpclipner]

Even with my small boney hands it was thin, I added a Hogue small slip on grip and it works very well for me. I like the little snappy pistol.

[@nicknolder4962]

absolutely love watching your videos hickok!

[@scott1lori282]

Just got the reg model lc9s. Love to watch you shoot hickok45.

[@matthewkenney6579]

Looks nice man... I had the original lc9 and trigger was pretty stiff.. Think this is much improved... Thanks Hickok.

[@Luciferofom]

I wish America's greatest gun manufacturer would start producing the world's greatest pocket gun again. Hickok, throw your weight around for us.

[@kennyvancleave2422]

I've owned the LC9s for some time now. I put over thousand rounds through it. It's a great little carry gun, but I'm selling it. Because of the LC9s Pro. Really, no magazine disconnect and no safety. Why not come out with that from the get go. That's why gun guys should run these companies.

[@pickin4you]

There are still many who will not carry a gun unless it does have a safety. If you cannot get the safety off fast enough, then you need to practice more. Also, your fist line of SELF defense is to get yourself behind some cover, and if doing so, you still cannot get the safety off ion time, then you do not practice at all. I am not forcing safeties on anyone, but a GOOD American company should make them with safeties on them, then if you do not like yours that way, you can have it altered and have the safety either removed, or the lever ground off. I am tires of all the gun makers that are switching over to no safeties. This means I need to narrow mine down and buy a back up before all safeties disappear. So, if you are a real gun guy, you should be able to work that safety just as fast as not having one if you put in some range time. All of mine have safeties and I can have the safety off before the gun is pointed forward towards the target. Chances are though, we will all be dead(from old age) before ever having to fire our weapons at someone.

[@kennyvancleave2422]

Why can't we have it both ways. Safety or no safety. You decide which is best for you. I would never alter my carry gun by grinding off parts. I know what you are saying, I saying why not have a choice. That way everyone's happy.

[@pickin4you]

I agree Kenny. They should build the PRO model both ways. This way someone who likes safeties can have one without the magazine disconnect. I see the nub where the safety was, so I am hoping they can add it, or you can order it with a safety.

[@ITSTIMETOSTOP]

pickin4you Sounds like a waste of money.

[@AlwaysDoingSomething]

I wouldn't own a gun without a safety... and I'm a gun guy. Different strokes for different folks.

[@Docprepper]

OMG I DID NOT SEE THE "you can even have two if you want" COMMENT! That was an amazing intro!

[@rmueller2623]

just bought the lc9s pro and love it, trigger is what sold me on it. great gun to buy. Highly recommend for ladies.

[@Snowburnt]

Lc9s pro shoots very well. I love it. My main. Good video!

[@jeffwollman8969]

Have one. Great back-Up! Good job on your video!!! WHERE IS YOUR SNOW?? We have snow in East TN... Your NOT LIVE? Oh how terrible...

[@joegondo5168]

Checked out the lc9 s pro today...you are right on about the trigger being very great, but extremely light. Maybe not so good in a high pressure situation..thanks

[@garysmallwood1]

Damn Good shooting, by the way. You just made my mind up, I have been studying these. Thanks so much. Gary from Georgia. 22yr USAF ret.

[@richardwallace5776]

Thanks for the great update. I'm loving mine.♥ Upgrade for a little more firepower from my old reliable LCP. Both are Crimson Trace equipped which for me is well worth the money. Thanks again and God bless. Have fun & be safe.

[@tonyenglish7176]

Love your videos Mr Hickok, Thank you always for your very educational videos sir.

[@jacksonwhitmire9341]

Looks like a great lil gun, thanks for the vid Hickok!

[@hugostiglitz9864]

Love my new LC9s Pro. Had some trouble with the mag that came with the gun but Ruger customer service was great. Replaced it quickly and the new one is fine. Recoil is mild and accuracy is surprisingly good for a short barreled pistol.

[@Shadowbat.o_O]

This was an excellent and informative video, as we expect from you. It might not be worth the upgrade if one is used to the hammer-fired trigger. If I were to purchase another LC9, it would be the LC9s Pro.

[@Mdkf1]

I am not as concerned with the thumb safety as much as the mag disconnect. In recent years Ruger has has came a long way responding to the wants, needs and input of their customers, two thumbs up. I too had to get the pro model and it proved to be as reliable as the older LC9, only with a much better trigger. Thanks again for another quality video!

[@johncollins5501]

Great gun very good shooter get em hickok great videos

[@PopsMedlong]

My son loves his new LC9s Pro. We ended up putting a section of bike innertube on the grip (turn inside out for better texture)

[@SombraPiloto]

I've actually had the issue shown at 6:45 while carrying this gun IWB. Granted it wasn't in the heat of battle with a rhino bearing down on me but it's just a bit disconcerting to pull a SD weapon out at the range and find the magazine not seated properly. I had cut a chunk out of my holster near the mag release in an attempt to avoid the issue but it happened again to me yesterday. No bueno!

[@ncldwell]

you are a great ambassador for gun owners and i for one appreciate it. i'm in mid-tn and we are under several inches of ice and snow so you probably taped this awhile ago...would have been a good torture test though...hahha...

[@tonysanders2]

Thanks for the video. You helped me decide after watching this video i went out purchased the lc9s pro. Thanks again from arkansas

[@naxel37]

this guy usually does the best reviews

[@MichaelJosephJr934]

I spent a lot of time finding a comfortable conceal gun settling on this. Very happy with it. I think a lot of the decision process depends on what you wear on a daily basis.
