How's this for a concealed carry gun?

[Band]

Systems like an exceptionally good price for a Ruger LC9 with a green laser.  Comments about is gun and the price, please.

My Grandfather bought one to replace his old Smith service revolver. He has been learning how to shoot a Semi Gun for a few weeks and he is getting good. My Brother and I are training him so that he can qualify with it for his retired LEO carry permit. I've ran a few mags through the gun myself and am impressed with reliability and accuracy. Only thing about the gun to me is that it is not comfortable in my hand...As a concealed weapon that is a topic of great debate... I prefer the wider grip of a double stack gun.

A good friend of mine carries the LC9 nice gun, shoots well, probably one of the easiest guns to conceal.

Good lord, I forgot to add the link and auto correct changed "seems" to "systems" in my original post.  No wonder I haven't seen much discussion.  Here is the link - http://www.cdnnsports.com/rugerr-lc9r-9mm-with-viridian-green-laser-1-7rd.html#.VBdjfWK9KSO

Sa-weet looking lil gun.  Have been shopping around looking for one to carry.  It just may top the list.  Thanks for posting.

I'm particularly curious about this Viridian green laser.  Is Viridian a brand name?  If so, does it have a Good quality reputation like Crimson Trace seems to have?

[Alchase]

The only negative I have heard about Viridian green lasers, are the Lithium Ion batteries do not last more then a year of "heavy use".
Lithium Ion should last allot longer.

Not really a negative, lol

I love my LC9CT. Shoots well. Hasn't jammed. Easy to clean (use compressed air on it if you pocket carry). I'd prefer a larger mag capacity, but then it probably wouldn't be a pocket gun.

I'm still very much a newbie with handguns...you say your gun is a CT but I don't see that designation on the one in the link.  What is CT anyway?  Also, how is yours for accuracy and kick, Pman?

CT-Crimson Trace Laser. Little kick and very accurate within 15 yards or more with practice.

Try the trigger some like it some don't, I sold mine and bought the LC9S I personally prefer the striker fired version.  That being said I prefer my Shield to the Ruger, both conceal great.  IMHO you really can't go wrong with either.

Appreciate the feedback, guys.  I'm putting this gun on my short list.  Need to rent a few to make my final selection.

Best advise any of us could give right there!

I just bought the LC9 with the viridian laser from Buds Gun shop.  I also bought the in the belt holster.  Very comfy to wear.  I still haven't shot it yet though so can't speak to the accuracy.  It came with two extra batteries and. Bought a couple extras. I love the green laser, shows up real well.

I have had a LC9 for over a year and carry it every day.  I have 3 holsters for it, OWB an IWB and a sleeve from Blackhawk.  I love it but,  the trigger does take some getting used to.

Personally I wouldn't carry any LC Ruger Model. LC9, LCR.People buy them & love them, But they are limited to that one handgun bought because it was cheap, and most have no knowledege of quality handgun. The local gun shops I frequently call the LC models, LC9 the (Little Crappy 9s) or the LCR, the (Little Crappy Revolver)
I love Ruger, But the LC model, Ill pass on.
 

In my honest opinion the S&W 642 Airweight 38 + P is the one to buy. Right about $400 & Tax, If they want more then that contact me with an IM. $425 tops plusTAX!

I have eight other Ruger models of Handguns, so I'm not bashing Ruger, Im Just Bashing that series of HANDGUN!

Your "WELCOME" to come shoot all of my "HANDGUNS" - ANYTIME!, But no LC models, SORRY!

I like the LCR esp in 357. Super light, compact and plenty of power for a field carry.  Whats not to like?   

[tjthebest]

I have the LC9 and I hate it. Trigger pull is horrendous. I can probably give you a good price on it if you want.

[Alchase]

No offense, trigger work is probably the easiest mod anyone can do to a hand gun.
I added a Powder River Precision trigger mod to my XD. One YouTube video and five minutes of my time and my trigger is crisp and three pounds lighter.
All Glocks I have owned have the same angle of their grip. If my hand does not like that angle, does that make all Glocks suck?
Trigger, grips, sights, etc..... Are all personal preference.
Trashing a weapon because of the trigger is like saying corvettes suck because the tires are crap.

Little crappy 9's?  Wow...  Cost was far from the issue on my LC9 and LCP purchases.

  They are light, thin and extremely reliable. Many other handguns of mine stay in the safe while it goes daily.  I choose to carry a LC9 daily strictly due to weight, comfort and the ability to conceal it.  To insinuate that one buys a LC9 or LCP strictly due to the cheap cost and lack of handgun knowledge is quite a narrow minded opinion.  Hopefully the OP can see past the "crappy" comment and go handle and shoot one as well as other handguns on his list and formulate his own opinion.

I've bought my last Ruger just due to their warranty service. Ironically my cheapest (crappiest?) pistol, a kel-tec had an issue and when I called them they were happy to either have me send the pistol to them or they would send the part to me. I opted to have the part sent to me as I did with Savage, both painless experiences but Ruger involved a 30 minute conversation on the phone where they absolutely had to have the gun and had to put it all back to original spec at my expense and against my wishes just to get a magazine follower replaced...

On a side note my 638 (+p 38 spl) has never needed anything other than cleaning and is a surprisingly good shooter.

I carry an LC9 with the lasermax laser every day and love it. It's easy to conceal, comfortable to carry and reliable. I've put lots of rounds through it and haven't had any troubles with it.

[carpsniperg2]

I have sold several of the models you are talking about. The green laser is killer and is amazing in low light. The trigger pull is a bit long but once you put a few mags down range you get use to it. Overall great little guns.

[b23]

I played with the LC9 and the LC9s.  You can, somewhat, get used to the longggg trigger pull of the LC9 until you shoot the LC9s.  Once you shoot the striker fired 9s, it's all over for the 9.  At least it was for me.  But, then came along the Walther PPS and it was all over for the Ruger LC9s.  The PPS is slightly larger and more expensive but I liked it enough to purchase it over the Rugers. 

But, for a decent CCW that comes with a lazer, I don't know how you could beat that price and make sure you keep a copy of the receipt with you at all times because you'll need it to remind you why you bought the LC9 after you pick up a LC9s.

I see you posted a picture of Rasbo when he was all dressed up for the Halloween shoot!
