Nice gun. I don't care for the magazine safety but it is well made and reliable.

perfect small pistol for conceal carry. Rugged, reliable, never had an issue of any kind with it.

This was my EDC until just recently. Smooth action, never failed to cycle. Recommend to anyone who wants small but potent concealable. Use 147 grain JHP

Not my cup of tea. The gun has a long, heavy trigger pull that I never was able to adapt to. Additionally, it cycled poorly and I returned it to Ruger in Prescott, AZ for service. They worked with it and returned it. Yes, it worked but I wound up selling the gun as I did not feel comfortable with it. My feelings about it could not support my keeping it. I hope someone else finds it more satisfactory than I did.

Great carry gun. Compact, light and accurate. I carry it with shorts and tee shirt with no problems. Bud's had the best price (of course) and shipping to my FFL guy was fast and easy. This is a great carry gun in a small size with 9mm punch.

This was a little too snappy for me. I didn't like how thin the grip was. It was reliable though, and nice and small. I ended up going with an LCP. I wanted the LC9 for the 9mm, but for the size and how uncomfortable it was to shoot, I went with the LCP. I'm fine with larger caliber firearms, I just didn't enjoy this one. Be sure to shoot one before you buy it.

Ya just cant go wrong with the LC9 or the LCP. I have many of these as my conceal choice. the price is great and overall works without fail!!

Excellent CCW weapon. Reliable and rugged. Not a complaint to be had.

This gun is my everyday carry. Very light and so compact, with no sharp edges, I can just drop it in my jeans or jacket pocket. Good quality, accurate, smooth, good sights, and a great point shooter. Kudos to Ruger for bringing out this model. I recommend this gun to all my students who want a semi-auto. Kudos as always to Buds for bring us good quality guns at a good price.

This LC9 was my first experience with Buds after speaking with a friend who highly recommended them. He was right!

I purchased this Ruger 3200 LC9 in August of 2014. I love it. Perfect concel gun.I do not feel the long pull on the triger is all that bad. It does kick,but I thing it's perfect.

This little gun gets a lot of bad-rap because of the trigger. Get used to it. It's such a reliable gun, the trigger weight is a minuscule issue compared to it's advantages. If you're trying to shoot 25 yard sub MOA with a concealed carry single stack 9mm, get your head checked. With the trigger issue out of the way, I'll explain some of my likes and dislikes about the gun: Dislikes: 1. "Magazine detach safety" - didn't like the fact that it cannot be fired without the magazine inserted, apparently this function can be disabled though. Not a deal-breaker for me, just have your magazine fully seated when you're carrying. 2. Loaded chamber indicator - "second kind of cool" issue that just bugs me, doesn't affect anything but the looks. 3. External thumb safety - hard to actuate, but easy to de-activate, which is a plus in high stress situations. I just leave the safety off and got a good holster for it, so technically this became a non-issue anyway. Likes: 1. Reliability - flawless shooting, enough said. 2. Reliability - yes, re-iterating the fact. 3. Accuracy - 2 MOA rapid fire at 7 yds. standing, more than sufficient for a concealed carry, single stack 9mm. 4. Size - really easy to conceal, especially for a 9mm. This is my go-to gun if I cannot conceal my Glock 19 or XDm without brandishing/printing. 5. Ergonomics - stippling on handle is amazing and I'm a sweaty guy. Enough said. Likes outweigh the dislikes. Great gun, you would be doing yourself a favor to trust your life to this legally concealed weapon.

Excellent conceal carry gun, good quality ,fired 250 rounds not a single malfunction. I definitely recommend this gun.Thank you Buds for you outstanding service.

Just the right size for my Kangaroo shoulder holster. Also very comfortable with the Desantis 001 Thumb Break Scabbard Belt Holster. It funtions very well and inspires a lot of confidence compared to the Taurus PT-145 and Taurus 709 I used to have. Rugers are reliable. I've put about 400 rounds thru this with zero problems. Ruger manufactures their own 9 round mag for this - so it works well and looks good with the pistol if you want ot carry it with more rounds - like I intend to while gold prospecting. Also fired it with CCI snake shot and it will cycle these rounds also. The pistol is well rounded and just looks cool - like something James Bond would carry. Bud's was good keeping me informed as to the progress of the shipment. Zero problems from Bud's. There are cheaper pistols out there, like the SCCY 9mm which are probably pretty good, but a friend convinced me to go with Ruger for the reputation. Glad I did.

it is very compact, but the trigger is very heavy and it's CA compliance means no firing without the magazine in the well.. I do not recommend.

This gun may not be for everyone. I found it on the rather small side. If you have large hands or long fingers you may want to find something else. However, it may be perfect for a wife's purse or personal protection. Now I never fired this so I can't comment on how it fires or handles. I sold it back to Bud's at a hundred dollar loss, but I will be doing business with Bud's again. I already have my eye on something else!

Does exactly as it should. Long trigger pull. More recoil vs the lcp 380. Still fun to shoot. Nicely made weapon. Buds was very easy to deal with though I don't like the up-charge for the credit card. Buds works well with my ffl dealer. Look forward to buying more guns from Buds. I believe the S&W Shield is a better gun-less recoil - a little easier to use. I also have a Sig 290 and a Glock 19 gen 4. These are all 9mm.

Ordered 12/30/13, received 1/18/14 not too bad of a turn around time. I love Rugers, I have an SR9. This gun kicks much harder than the SR9. This is a little gun and 9mm isnt a small round so this is expected. I had fun shooting it as a male. This gun probably is not a first time female shooter gun. You Might want to go with a .380. Overall love rugers and a good concealed carry gun.

This is a very nice weapon for personal defense! Small, Accurate, Light weight and you can get a 9 round magazine on eBay. The only thing wrong is the length of the trigger pull. I suggest, if you get this weapon, is to buy a modified trigger bar from Galloway Precision - cost $35. It will shorten the pull length by 35%. I have two of these weapons and both are modified and shoot great.

Buds did an excellent job in coordination of payment, even when the USPS lost a check, even though it was to be overnight. Then 6 days later Buds got the check a promptly void it for me, because paid in a different method then they returned the void check. Shipping was also very prompt. My hat is taken off for Buds service. The Ruger LC9 is also an excellent choice for conceal carry. Fired a box of mixed ammo with no FTE or FTF. very happy with this gun and the service from Bud.

I purchased my LC9 on a recommendation without having fired it - which was a mistake. My opinion now? There are plenty of small carry 9mm semis on the market. Many are better than this one. PROs - Easy to conceal - Simple breakdown for easy cleaning - Chambered round safety indicator - Locable trigger (uses allan wrench style key provided) - Solid build CONs - Small size for large hands - almost impossible and very uncomfortable to fire with a normal grip and first digit finger trigger - Double action only - Loooooong trigger pull - Kicks like a mule for a small weapon. Couple that with your finger being all the way through the trigger housing and it can be painful to fire.
