The Ruger EC9s is a slim, lightweight, and compact 9mm pistol for personal protection. It is just slightly larger than the popular LCP compact pistol. With the striker-fired system and short, light, crisp trigger you can expect faster more accurate shooting. The checkering pattern on the grip ensures a secure and comfortable grip as well as an included finger grip extension. Built-in safety features include a trigger safety, manual safety, magazine disconnect, and an inspection port that allows you to visually confirm a loaded or empty chamber.
