Overview

The Ruger LC9 is a slim, lightweight semi-automatic pistol chambered in 9x19mm, introduced by Ruger in 2011 for concealed carry. It features a 7-round magazine capacity, a 3.12-inch barrel, and a striker-fired mechanism. The LC9 has a manual safety, a loaded chamber indicator, and a magazine disconnect safety.
