Maybe because the trigger is much better than the LCP?
Sure, that's why.....lol.....If not
on another LCP trigger!Close to same width but about 1" taller, 1" longer and almost twice the weight. It has sights though.
Bill Ruger will never get any of my money ever again!
Now that that's out of the way, this looks interesting. One would assume with their recent hiccups, they've debugged it sufficiently. Time will tell..... If it works, the price point is certainly good. Street price after the initial flurry will likely be mid to high 300's I'm guessing.

Again similar to a Keltec...looks good though.
Yeah look! The put the magazine release in the exact same place! And the sights have the same 3 dots!
Copying sons of guns.....

I liked this gun better the first time, when it was called the Kahr CW9...
Ruger LC9:
Height: 4.5"
Length: 6"
Barrel: 3.12"
Width: .90"
Weight: 17.10 ounces
Capacity: 7+1
Kahr CW9:
Height: 4.5"
Length: 5.9"
Barrel: 3.6"
Width: .90"
Weight: 15.8 ounces, 17.7 w/ empty mag
Capacity: 7+1
Plus, the Kahr doesn't have that goofy safety. Ruger, I applaud you for coming out with a new firearm, but this is not a "game changer". The Ruger and the Kahr look nothing alike, but the dimensions are nearly identical. However, the Kahr has a longer barrel, a stainless slide, and a VERY sweet trigger. The Ruger will be less expensive, which I see as it's only advantage over the Kahr.
But I'm sure Ruger fans will flock to this new LC9, thinking it's revolutionary.

WHY would every new gun have to be "revolutionary"? Ruger is obviously pursuing the CCW market, the civilian CCW market. I might point out that MOST of these late introductions have been roughly the same size, weight, and so on.
Ruger has a reputation for building reliable, and durable firearms. They also enjoy a good reputation through Customer Service of their products.
They do all this at a price-point well below many others. In case we haven't looked, the economy is rather ragged, and making guns that work, at a reasonable price-point, is "revolutionary" enough for the large number of prospective buyers.
What, exactly, is wrong with that?

Nothing wrong with it at all and I hope Ruger does well. They are an American Co. after all.
I just wish the reliable and durable was as good as their customer service. There's a reason the CS is so good and I can commend them for that! At least they step right up to fix their products so I'll continue to buy if something intrigues me but this doesn't.

Don't like the lawyer features on this one. Chamber loaded indicator & mag disconnect. Not a fan of the DAO trigger with a saftey. Seems like a contradiction in terms. Seems like it is not much smaller than the Glock 26.
Seems like 2011 is the year of the 1911 and the mini 9mm. Will be interesting if this one sells better than the Sig P290. Both are aiming at the same between Keltec and Kahr market.
The last 2 out of 3 auto products failed right out of the box. With that recent track record the CS better be good. I do give them credit stepping up and making it right. LOL

The last 2 out of three were recalled when problems in some guns were discovered.
Compare that with some other companies that deny problems, never recall them, or quietly offer "product improvements"..... if you find out about them and bother to ask.
Ruger recalled the original P85 for a firing pin problem, that last I had heard, occurred in only one gun.
I'll take that mindset over the other, thanks.

Agreed....

Your money your call but you are still talking about a company that is intorducing guns and letting the consumer do the R&D testing. I would not buy a first year Ruger product as a result. I will not buy a first year Sig for the same reason. It seems only prudent to me. If you want to jump in with both feet by all means do but please don't lash out at others who do not share your optimism.
It amazes me how personally people take comments about this manufacturer or that manufacturing. Its a simply tool. Some work some don't. You like brand X I like brand Y. It amazes me when people cannot even take constructive criticism before lashing out. Let me know if I am wrong on the facts. Reread my post:

They had my attention until I got to the safety. My wife has a Kel-Tec PF9, and I have been contemplating one for my own collection, but was hoping Ruger would come out with their version. LCP vs PT-a3, LCP wins in my opinion, better overal fit and finish, and not too much more expensive. I guess they thought the 9mm was too dangerous to carry sans-safety.

Looks nice, but I can't imagine wanting to trade my PPS for it.
