I bought one about two weeks ago just out of curiosity and because it was a good price, I bought it and it has been my EDC since then, it is very light, I put it in my pocket and I forget that I am carrying it, incredibly happy with my purchase.
Good video. I agree it’s a very capable budget piece. Glad you mentioned oiling the slide and barrel. That finish will rust if you look at it sideways.
Excellent video! I have literally owned all the popular micro compact pistols (except the ruger max 9 and the fn reflex). Ended up having to sell them, long story. I was just so deep in the rabbithole of trading and selling lol. So anyway, i'm picking up the ec9s next week, as my new edc. Had one years ago, loved it.
I definitely hear you there brother. I have traded away so many great firearms that I wish I hadn't 😢. It's really easy to get sucked into it. I think it's an excellent choice man! Nothing wrong with this being your primary EDC
I have the EC9s, ran great for the last 3 years then all of a sudden it started having issues. Ruger sent me a new slide lock and replaced my old mags and it's running great again! The old slide lock had a tiny bit of rust underneath it. That's my fault, it was carried a lot during the summer and I never took the frame apart for cleaning. I plan on upgrading it at some point soon but it's not bad at all. Carried mine the last couple days.
EC9S is one of the guns I just stop in at academy and buy if I forgot my carry gat. So affordable! Only gun I would get if I was hard up on cash and had forgotten my carry it would be a hi point c9 for under a hundo. With that said I did score an EC9S for 90 bucks today! And got some banger tacos!!!! Same gun store!
I recently bought one. Got a good deal on a former rental at a local shop/range. It seems to be a solid, no-frills carry gun. I've put a few hundred rounds through it so far, with no glitches.
Very nice! Yeah you can find crazy deals on these. That's why I thought it was still a very relevant gun to make a video on. We are talking Hi-Point prices here. I don't think I've put nearly that many through this particular one. Probably somewhere in the realm of 150-200. Again like you no problems. None of my pins are walking out, no failures to feed or eject, the magazine stays put and it's relatively accurate it's self-defense distances. If you ask me, I think everybody should buy one of these for the hell of it like I did. It's really at a "why the hell not?" price.
Good video, There is a lot to be said for a reliable budget gun. We all have to lock our guns up in our cars from time to time because you just can't carry in some places. Even in a good hidden lockbox guns do get stolen. I've been carrying for over 40 years and have been lucky but I also drive boring cars nobody would steal or break into. My solution to reloading under pressure, and with arthritis, is a second gun. For me that means two j-frame .38 special Airweights, one in each pocket, but I would consider two LC9Ss. Or 1 j-frame and 1 LC9S or two LCP Maxs. Heck, If I knew I was headed to a gunfight I'd bring a Glock 17 and a 12 gauge (or a platoon of marines) but the reality is a 7+1 EC9S is enough gun for 99.99% of conflicts we will ever encounter.
Good old-fashioned New York reload is definitely efficient. If you can carry them I don't see the harm and carrying too firearms. I find it hard enough to commit to one 😂😂😂. I'm an honest carrier I wish I could say I was Mister tactical all the time 😂😂😂. But you're absolutely right A j frame or an ec9s like this is going to be plenty sufficient for 99.99% of self-defense scenarios that an average civilian would find themselves in. Sounds like a good Carry bro and I appreciate your input
Carrying two Airweights is easier than you think. When they first came out I carried two LCPs that was really easy. I may go to two LCP Max's or EC9Ss at some point. I'm a big old guy so I have big pockets. Stay safe.
Got mine after it was shot one time by the original owner. Paid $80 for it. It's exactly what he's stating. It's not a SIG, not a Glock, your options are limited for mods (a handful of lasers if you're about that, a few trigger swaps. There may be more. Idk. I typically carry a Glock or SIG. But this is a great backup. And this opinion is coming from an individual who's got beef with Ruger. The LCP was shit. Bnib the while slide broke free and went downrange on its second magazine. Since the I swore off Ruger. But this ec9s is an OK standby, or loaner. I personally hate the sights, but with its size, it's designed for instinctive draw and pew in CQ. I like my Glock better. And my SIG more than either of the latter
It's called CYA. I'm not really sure about the company or the country of origin. But I do know that it is of equal quality of a We the people holster if not maybe a little better but about half the price. It's not a bad budget holster. I wish it didn't have foamy clip but for 32 bucks I seriously can't complain. It's an adequate holster. Thank you for watching bro I really appreciate it
LC9 - LC9s since 2013. Doesn't jam, accurate, easy to conceal and with Hi-Viz sights my older eyes can pick them up quick... it's the Toyota Camry of the EDC world and I don't see myself getting anything else anytime soon.
It's a great little gun. If you're proficient with it, there's really no reason to upgrade. Unless you're going to move up to an entirely new platform like compact or full size
My gunsmith turned me on to this gun, I picked mine up for just over $200 and love this gun to death. Great trigger, great shooter and descent capacity especially with the extended mag. Mag Shack has the OEM 9 rnd mag for $31.99. If properly cleaned and lubed this gun will last forever. Great gun for a steal of a price. Thanks for sharing.
That's actually really good to hear. I've dealt with them twice in both times they forgot about me like a fart in the wind. When they did get in touch with me they were super polite but it was just a very very very long process and when I got my firearm back it wasn't even my firearm it was a completely new model. And a lot of ways I guess that can be okay but I stand by what I said. I'd rather it be repaired. So it's really good to hear that they actually fixed your firearm and got it back to you. I want all firearms companies to succeed. Your door?!... I'm no lawyer but isn't it supposed to go to an FFL?
hey carry lc9 with 9clip yes I have others but this just feels right and have never found any better service than ruger the wife carry ec9s and leaves her kimber in the safe...
We'll think about it. In today's market like I said you're probably going to spend close to $250 or $300 on this gun. You can get into a shield Plus for $340 bucks. Comes with two magazines instead of one, much higher capacity, better build quality, actual sights and a better trigger. With all the great micros under $400 it's going to be really hard to justify choosing this firearm unless you absolutely can't afford anything else. It's a pretty unjustifiable option if you have the spare cash. I do a lot of trading and selling on the secondary market and I'm going to tell you right now that the main reason why it's obsolete garbage is because you're going to have a hell of a time selling a single stack. They don't move anymore. That's the only reason why I titled it that. Because regardless of all those variables for this gun's price it's still hangs in there with the big boys
Ive seen them around forever and finally gave into my curiosity. Ive also recently discovered that single stacks are actually awesome and comfy

Very nice! Thanks for sharing your experience bro 👊
I've seen 99% good reviews on this gun. Just purchased one for my daughter EDC.
You're a good father sir👊
i love the slimness. It's very comfortable to carry at the gym or while cycling
It's rounded features will also help help for that as well. I would agree, it's a good pistol to move around with
Great carry gun! Like you, I have many other “nice” handguns but still enjoy having the EC9s on me.
Good video. I agree it’s a very capable budget piece. Glad you mentioned oiling the slide and barrel. That finish will rust if you look at it sideways.
Yes it will 😂 thanks for watching bro 👊

I love mine!! its great! its thin. great grip for my small hands. I like the trigger and it shoot well.

Davidson from Kentucky keep your videos coming straight to the point bottom line
Thanks bro I will! I appreciate the feedback
I guess this answered my comment the other day. Tremendous.
I hope it helped man 👊
A nice no bs video. Thank you
You're welcome. And thank you for watching and commenting bro 👊
I carry the ec9 when mowing the lawn or when I am wearing shorts. It’s a lot easier to conceal than most others. Good video 👍👍
Thanks for watching bro 👊
Great Review,Thank you.
I got my lc9 for 170 bucks at a pawn shop, been carrying it for years. Yes i carried 4 different guns, the lc9 was easy to hide.
Loved my ec9s. I like my hellcat and shield plus better but for the price the ec9s is awesome
My wife owns a ec9s and I find myself carrying it more than my Glock 19 or Taurus very reliable
Really enjoyed your video!
Glad you enjoyed it bro 👊

I just brought mines and when the mag is in, it doesn’t slide back only when I take the mag out
