Ruger LC9: THE IDEAL CONCEALED CARRY WEAPON???

About this video

Colion reviews the Ruger LC9, a 9mm subcompact pistol designed for concealed carry. He compares it to the Kel-Tec PF9, arguing that Ruger refined the design with better aesthetics and ergonomics while adding features like a manual safety, adjustable sights, and a loaded chamber indicator. Colion describes the double-action-only trigger as improved over earlier versions, though he notes drawbacks including limited 7+1 capacity and a magazine disconnect safety.

Key takeaways

  • Colion argues the LC9 offers strong value for concealed carry with abundant features (manual safety, adjustable sights, loaded chamber indicator) targeted at new shooters
  • According to Colion, the double-action-only trigger requires training due to its long, heavy pull with no true reset
  • Colion identifies the 7+1 capacity and magazine disconnect safety as the main drawbacks of the design
