I had one. It was reliable, but I did not shoot it well. Others I know have had great success with theirs.
Traded it in on a P365. If you find you don't shoot it well, but still want a compact Ruger, check out the Security 9 Compact. |

The Ruger EC9s is the only handgun I own right now. I do have the Hogue HandALL grip sleeve installed. The trigger is great for a striker fired pistol this size and I shoot it exceptionally well considering the rudimentary sights.
For a holster I use this and love it Clip Draw |

It’s my primary carry gun in the warmer months, talon grip works extremely well on it.
I’m using a plain Jane Blackhawk Tec grip 04 sticky holster. |

They're nice little guns.
I'd be interested to hear if your experience was different than mine. I'm a huge Ruger fan, and I currently own a 10/22, a P89, a Gen1 LCP, a Mark IV, a GP 100 and a Security 9. So, you can imagine my disappointment when I found I didn't shoot well with the EC9.

I'm going to shoot the EC9 today at some point, but we're getting Hammered with snow here in Central MO. I'll shoot once it let's up some. |

I also had one. Nice gun. Reliable and accurate. Recoil was fine also. I did sell it, not due anything being wrong with the gun. I just decide Aluminum 38 revolvers are best for me.

Anyone pocket carry one?
I'd love a P365 but my budget is inline with EC9s. I'm limited to 10rds so 7+1 vs 10+1. 3rds does not seem worth 300more. Plus I see there are 9rd mags available. Which would be nice for home use and reload. My edc now is a P3AT. So I'd like to go up to a 9 again |

Only mods have been a grip sleeve and painted sights. |

Trying to decide if I need/want a grip sleeve. Are you using the Hogue? Quote HistoryQuoted:

Picked up one of these today at RK. $209 hard to pass. Haven't shot yet, just curious on others thoughts on it generally. Mainly wondering if anyone has decent holster recommendations for IWB. |

Well. Took a good look at one today. Trigger wasn't bad at all, sights seem useable, safety operates like my 22/45 (i shoot that gun alot) and overall I liked it so I put it on layaway.
Should have it in a couple of weeks.

Should have it in a couple of weeks. Got 2 9rd mags and a pocket holster on the way. Also have HST in 147gr, 124gr +p. Rem Golden Sabers 147gr Bonded, Ranger T 127gr +p+ to try it out with. Plus a plethora of Fmj. I like the orange dummy mag. Was doing some dryfire and it comes in handy with the mag disconnect and not hitting the slide lock. Love the trigger pull! 10x better than my old CM9. Mag disconnect isn't awesome, but I've delt with worse things in my life. Sights need paint but my eyes suck. The safety is easy to disengage but requires a bit of force to engage. Anyone else see this?? Hoping I can hit the range soon! |

Finally put some rounds thru the one I bought for the daughter.
100 rounds IMI FMJ, 0 failures. Switched to 147 grain Winchester Rangers and has 2 failures to feed on first mag. Slide went right over the round in the mag. Stripped cleaned and relubed. Then 40 more Rangers and 40 Federal HST 124s with zero failures. She's gonna have to buy me some ammo. |

Shot mine today. 150rds. 5 stoppages but I think I'm hitting the slide lock.
Overall I'm very pleased with this pistol. Fixed sights shot very good. Could use some paint but I didn't find them to be hard to shoot with. Can't wait for my mags to come in. Thank God for Maglula!! 1 mag is tiring!!! Sooooo much easier to shoot than my Jframe. As much as I like carrying my 640, I can't keep up with it anymore. When I could shoot 2x a week I was great. Now if I shoot 2x a month It's a great month. |

Shot another 150 yesterday. Same stoppages. Slide locks back with rounds in mag.
Definitely not my grip or me hitting the slide stop. Something internal is. Just happens randomly with various rounds in mag. Had it happen with all 3 of my mags. Fmj & jhp 115gr-147gr. Emailed Ruger. Will update. Other than this I love the pistol. 124gr +p HST shot best with the fixed sights POA/POI and grouping. Safety lever lightened up to where I can engage it with just my thumb. |

Hopefully Ruger gets back to you quickly. Did you inspect the underside of slide really well? No obvious reason apparent I guess? Looking forward to update. |

Hopefully I can shoot it Sat amd see how it is. Eta. Shot it a little. 50rd box of Win NATO. No issues. Will shoot it more before I carry it but it looks promising |

I have one on the way. I too wanted a P365 or Hellcat, but my budget was more agreeable for the $199 EC9s.
I pocket carry my wife’s LCPII quite a bit, so I wanted something similar in form. Hoping I get one without issue, but the Ruger CS factor did weigh in as well, knowing they’ll take care of me. |

Picked mine up Wednesday. I like it better than I thought I might. It’s a great size. I have a Desantis Nemesis on the way and will be picking up some spare mags. I think I’ll also add some paint to the front sight.
Definitely a good buy at $179.99. Heading to the range tomorrow. Fingers crossed. |
