Received an email yesterday in reference to Ruger's new release of the LC9s Pro, was expecting to be able to handle and possibly purchase one within the next 2 months once they hit distributors but it seems that Ruger had already gotten them to distributors before hand. Will have one in hand tomorrow afternoon.
Really like the LC9s and my wife had picked it for her next carry gun, extremely happy they took the initiative and removed the un-needed safety features. Removing the thumb safety and mag disconnect makes this gun near perfect, now for sights.

I'd be weary of that guide rod. The new Ruger one has a cone shape at the end so that the spring doesn't get jammed up
The Galloway guide rod was Galloway's attempt to correct the original LC9s guide rod issues. Galloway decided to make it, before they found out Ruger was making a new revised guide rod. Ruger determined the original guide rod was causing problems and they designed a new one. Only the first few thousand LC9s models got the "bad" guide rod, and all since have been shipped with the redesigned guide rod, that corrects all the problems. So the only reason to buy and install the Galloway guide rod is because you are unaware that if you call Ruger, they will send you the new guide rod for free, if you have the older style guide rod. The Galloway guide rod is just that, a recoil spring guide rod that was "supposed" to correct the issues. What you are posting indicates it does not solve the problems but makes it worse. |

Half of the "rim" broke off, and the spring pushed the rod back up under the barrel. I've fired mine so much with the new rod that the slide has gotten sloppy, and I've had no problems with the rod, or any other of the Galloway components. ETA: FWIW, I consider the LC9 the biggest POS I've ever owned, other than a Taurus Slim. |

I don't think there's any need to worry about the rim breaking off this one regardless of being made out of plastic. Yes it is a captured spring as well. With the flat end the spring has to be oriented absolutely perfectly or the slide can get jammed up and/or not go fully into battery. I had to send my original LC9s back to Ruger because the slide completely jammed up when I was trying to put it back together. They sent it back with the new guide rod and I've had no problems since then. |

Yeah, looks like a progressive spring setup, which would be a huge improvement. One of my biggest complaints was that the recoil was much worse than my PM9, or even my Shield .40. A couple of mags through it would leave my hands shaking for an hour. A heavier recoil spring helped a bunch. ETA: It looks like they've corrected most of what I dislike about it. |

One of these was for my co-worker who bought the other LC9s pro that we received. I think there was only a ~$30 difference between used sold and new purchased. You may even be able to even it out on the EE. |

Anyone w/ the new pro know if its +p+ rated? All my HP ammo is hot stuff. I didn't see this info on Rugers spec sheet online.

I would doubt it. Its really the same gun as the LC9s which is not rated for +p+. It's not even rated for a steady diet of +p.

Direct from the LC9S Manual included with the pistol:
Although the RUGER® LC9sTM pistol is capable of functioning with +P ammunition, a steady diet of +P ammunition will shorten the endurance life of this pistol. You should never shoot 9mm +P+ ammunition in your RUGER® LC9sTM. There are no SAAMI or CIP pressure limits on 9mm +P+ and use of this ammunition could result in serious injury. Do not use “+P+” ammunition. Note on the LC9sTM: Do not use “+P+” ammunition. Page 12 of the Manual |

That guide rod won't work with a LC9s or pro unless you get a spring somewhere.

I had a student bring one to a pistol class. I was ringing the steel with it at 10 yards as quick as I could pull the trigger. I really liked it. I do wonder if it's worth getting the Pro over the safety version with that light of a trigger.

If you're used to 1911 or cz style safeties then it's not a huge step to wipe the safety as you present. It is a light trigger, and since I'm become accustomed to cz/1911 style safeties I've not found it to be a major handicap. |

LC9S PRO = The very best trigger of any pocket pistol I've ever shot! I measured one today with an RCBS Trigger Pull Scale and it was right at 4# when tested at the same angle that my trigger finger pulls the trigger. With a CT Laser the PRO is right at the top of the pocket pistol self-defense pyramid. In my opinion it is NUMERO UNO!!!!
ADDENDUM, RE: PROBLEMS: (1) The mag release sticks up so high and unprotected that it can be accidently bumped by your thumb during recoil resulting in the mag dropping out, depending of course on your gripping style. This problem needs to be corrected by Ruger. (2) The slide stop lever takes so much thumb-force that it is almost impossible to drop the slide with your thumb. (NOTE: #2 can be partially corrected by tapping the slide-stop lever with a nylon or wooden gunsmith hammer and dropping the slide that way about 50 times, or until it wears in enough to allow dropping the slide with just thumb pressure.) |
