Hadnt seen a thread about this yet. Judging by the videos on YT about it the news just dropped today. Looks interesting. A lot of features for the price point

I just got the newsletter e-mail about 2 minutes ago.

Same here looks like a Ruger version of the Taurus G3c

They'll sell a million of em.

They'll sell a million of em.

If they price them right

I'm a Ruger fan and would like to see one in person to squeeze off a few rounds and see how it feels. I agree with Dingleberry, I bet Ruger will sell lots of these. Though I don't see this bumping my Shield PC from EDC.

It seems like micro high-caps with RMR options are the rage right now. I've tried the RMR route and never really took to it.

Saw the announcement email. It kind of looks like a newer, fancier LCP in 9mm.

I'm still perfectly happy carrying my SR9c.

Definitely looks interesting to me but the RDS thing hasn’t worked well for me either and the Smith PC models with porting intrigue me more as a friend has the original shield of and I love that. I’ll have to see one of these in person.

Still happy with my 6 shooter

It appears to be about LC9 size, and a little bit heavier. I'd be curious to check one out

Looks like it is a downsized version of the Security 9 to me.

I want the ability to have a 17rd+ mag with it. So it will fit my hand. Like the G2c and G3c they can use Sig P226 mags which extend the grip and fit my hand much better.

 

[2A-Hoosier23]

This looks very promising.

Seems like this is the new type of handgun everyone is trying to copy. Stupidly high-capacity subcompact 9mms.
First Sig with the 365, then Springfield with the Hellcat, Glock with the 43x, S&W just announced the Shield Plus, and now Ruger. Maybe others too.

Personally I like these types of guns and Ruger has excellent customer service so I'm optimistic. Tritium/fiber optic sight and direct red dot mounting is a win. Versions with and without safeties is a win. If they can manage to price it under 450ish retail so people can find them for under 400, I think it'll be a hit.

Just asking, has anyone with one of these small poly pistols that have the mag bottom flush with the outside of the grip gotten a good blood blister driving home a magazine?

That happened to me with a shield.

Why not just buy the full grip 17 round gun to start with, if that's how you are going to carry it?

I threw the 10 round grip module for my P365 in a drawer somewhere long ago and only carry it with the XL grip module. I don't know why I would buy a stubby grip gun, then stick a long mag with a spacer in the mag well.

 

[Usmccookie]

Ehh.. unless it's ~$400 new, im not to interested. At 400 I would give it a shot because I do believe in ruger. That being said, I'm expecting a trigger similar to the lcp2...

Because it doesn't have a 3" barrel. Smaller and lighter. My 10mm 1911 just barely gives me full grip. The smallest I have is the shield 45 with the 7rd magazine. I don't have a full grip but close enough to shoot well with it.

I have the CZ P10F love it. This gun would just be a want more than a need.

I do like the 3" barrel pistols because they are imo very fast to draw and fire and bring to your next target faster.

I think these companies are trying to make a gun like the Taurus G2c and G3c. I believe Taurus came out with this style of pistol first. 12rd mag 3" barrel.
