What’s Included
- Ruger EC9s pistol
- 2 × 7-round Ruger factory EC9s/LC9s steel magazines with finger-extension floorplates
The EC9s line was introduced in 2017 as a cost-effective variant of Ruger’s LC9s while keeping the same proven mechanics. This pistol therefore accepts all LC9s magazines and accessories, adding flexibility for owners who already run Ruger’s single-stack 9 mm platform.
Its alloy-steel slide wears a black oxide finish that resists corrosion and minimizes glare. Deep rear serrations give a secure grip when racking the slide, and the integral front blade and rear notch sights are cut directly into the slide for permanent alignment.
The glass-filled nylon frame features molded checkering on the grip, providing traction without added bulk. A push-button magazine release and low-profile manual thumb safety are positioned for quick, intuitive operation.
Inside, a 3.12 in. barrel with a 1:10 RH twist stabilizes the full range of 9 mm loads. The striker-fired action delivers a consistent pull, while the integrated trigger safety, magazine disconnect, and visual inspection port add layers of protection uncommon in micro 9 mm pistols.
With an MSRP of $349, the EC9s offers an affordable entry into the concealed-carry world, yet this example’s excellent condition and dual magazine set make it ready for duty right out of the box.
