Re: Single action or double action?
I bought both my wife and myself the Ruger EC9s. I carried it off duty, still carry it, actually. And my daughter has the 1st generation LC9.
They're all 9 mm. Use the same magazines. All of the working components are exactly the same on all three.
Continuity is important.

Re: Single action or double action?
The LC9 and LCR are great guns. Haven't tried the EC9, but have no doubt it's a good one. Ruger makes great firearms. The 10/22 is so ubiquitous it's practically a requirement to own one. And you can mod that thing like a muscle car, lol.
People keep asking if I'm back and I haven't really had an answer. But now, yeah, I'm thinkin' I'm back.

Re: Single action or double action?
The trigger on the EC9s is better than the trigger on the LC9. Much smoother.
The only thing I don't like about the gun is the push pin to field strip it.
The designer had a serious brain fart with that tiny little push pin. Aside from that, it is a nice little concealed carry handgun.

Re: Single action or double action?
lol. Can't be as bad as the release on the Ruger standard, the Mark series 22s. that gun is the sweetest shooting gun ever, but the release to remove the bolt and field strip is a booger bear if you don't get it lined up just right for reassembly. I've gotten the hang of it but it's far from obvious and it still frustrates at times. In fact I haven't shot it in so long I'll probably spend some time remembering. lol

Re: Single action or double action?
I saw a video of a guy at a gun range that has a lot of loaner firearms. He said people obsess over cleaning. He used an AR as an example. He said he lubes up the contact areas on the bolt and receiver, knock the loose buildup off the trigger and bolt carrier group, and that is pretty much it. He said he might strip them down to clean every 10,000 rounds.

Re: Single action or double action?
The kick in a 45 for a carry size is an issue. I'm used to the 357 though so it's not that big a difference, but there is some.
I really like the 357 Sig, but it's such a specialized caliber. Also considered the 40 S&W, but I'm definitely going to put a box through the 45 if I can before I buy one. In a full size 1911 it's fine, and I've shot the 1911 compacts and they're fine (wouldn't want to shoot 200 rounds in it), but the Springfield is even lighter, and I imagine the Sig is as well but haven't tried either.People keep asking if I'm back and I haven't really had an answer.
