Ruger Introduces the All New LC9S™ Striker Fired Compact 9mm with Amazing Trigger

Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE: RGR) is proud to announce the introduction of the all new Ruger® LC9S™ pistol. The LC9S™ is a striker-fired version of the award winning LC9™ pistol. The LC9S™ features a newly designed trigger mechanism with a short, light, crisp pull that improves accuracy and performance. Like the LC9™, the LC9S™ provides 7+1 rounds of 9mm Luger protection in a slim, lightweight, pistol, just slightly larger (less than 1” in both height and length) than the popular Ruger® LCP ®.

“The Ruger LC9™ set a high standard for reliable, lightweight personal protection,” said Chris Killoy, Ruger President and Chief Operating Officer. “The LC9S™ follows the same proven design that made the LC9™ so successful and provides a new option for shooters who prefer the short, crisp trigger pull of a striker action pistol,” he added.

The LC9S™ fits the same holsters, extended magazines, lasers and accessories as the rugged and reliable LC9™ and features a blued, through hardened, alloy steel slide; a high performance, glass-filled nylon grip frame with aggressive texturing; a grip extension magazine floorplate to improve handling; and a rapid acquisition, windage adjustable, 3-dot sight system.

The compact, 17.2 oz. Ruger LC9S™ pistol has a 3.12″ barrel, an overall length of 6″, a height of 4.5” and a slim 0.9” width. The compact frame and short trigger reach is designed to accommodate a wide range of hand sizes. The LC9S™ offers modern safety features such as a visual loaded chamber viewport, an internal striker blocker, trigger safety, magazine disconnect and a frame-mounted manual safety. The LC9S™ ships with one 7-round magazine, a soft case and a cable locking device.
