    • Ruger EC9s

     Since its introduction in 2011, the Ruger LC9 series was one of Ruger’s most popular handgun series this decade. However, as the LC9 has been upgraded over time with a better trigger, better sights, etc., the price has continued to climb. Therefore, at the 2018 SHOT Show, Ruger introduced the Ruger EC9s pistol model.

    The new EC9s was designed as a more budget-friendly version of the popular LC9s series, and geared towards everyday carry. The Ruger EC9 is built on the LC9s frame and even takes magazines made for the LC9s models. Like the LC9s series, the EC9s version is also a striker-fired pistol currently only chambered in 9mm (which is also sometimes listed as 9mm Luger). The EC9s also features an integrated optional manual safety like the LC9s versions.

    The EC9S has a suggested MSRP of $299, costing about $200 less than the more expensive LC9 series. So what’s different about the EC9s compared to the LC9s, and how is one nearly $200 less? Here’s how:

    (1) While the LC9s series feature standard dovetailed, drift-adjustable iron sights that can be upgraded with high-visibility sight inserts, the EC9s comes with fixed front and rear sights that are machined into the frame. These sights cannot be upgraded or adjusted.

    (2) The EC9s is currently only available with a manual thumb safety and integrated trigger safety, while the LC9s series is available with a manual thumb safety or the Ruger Pro Model trigger.

    (3) The EC9s is built with a standard magazine disconnect (as in its non-optional), while some of the LC9s variants feature an optional magazine disconnect.

    (4) The EC9s ships with only one magazine, while the LC9s series ships with two.

    Since the magazines for the EC9s are compatible with the LC9s series, the round count on the EC9s is the same 7+1 found on the LC9s series. As the EC9s features the same basic trigger set-up as the basic LC9s series (not the Ruger Pro Model trigger), the trigger pull, trigger reset, etc., function the same.

    Here are some questions that we have seen regarding Ruger EC9s holster options:

    Will the Ruger EC9S fit in a holster made for the LC9S?

    As both models share the same frame and dimensions, the EC9S will fit in a holster made for the LC9S. In addition, the Ruger LC380, LC9, and LC9s will fit in a Ruger EC9s holster.

    Do you have any kydex holster styles for the EC9s?

    At this time, all we carry is leather holster options, so we don't have any kydex holster models for the EC9s.

    I read online that the EC9S is similar to the Ruger LCP. Will it fit in a holster made for the LCP?

    While the LCP and the EC9s share several features, they are different models with different dimensions. The EC9S is larger than the Ruger LCP, so it will not fit a holster made for the LCP or Ruger LCP II.

    Do you offer a holster for the Ruger EC9s?

    Yes, any of the holster models listed below will fit the Ruger EC9s.

    Do you carry any magazine carrier that will fit the Ruger EC9S?

    Yes, any of the magazine carriers listed on this page are available in a version to fit the Ruger EC9s: https://www.gunnersalley.com/magazine-carriers/.

    Can you recommend or suggest a Ruger ec9s IWB holster?

    The small size of the EC9s makes it an ideal option for inside the waistband concealed carry. Here are our most popular CCW holsters and concealed carry holster models for the EC9s:

    Don Hume Inside the Waistband with Bodyshield

    MTR Custom Adversary Inside the Waistband

    Don Hume Clip-on IWB

    Several of the inside the waistband holsters listed above will also work for appendix carry. We also carry a number of popular OWB holster options for the EC9 as well.

    I have a EC9s with a Crimson Trace laser attached. Do you have a Ruger ec9s laser holster that will fit?

    Any of the MTR Custom holster models listed below are available in versions to fit a Ruger EC9S with a few different laser models mounted. Currently, this includes an EC9 with the following laser models mounted:

    • ArmaLaser TR9 Laser
    • Crimson Trace LG-416 and LG-416G Lasers
    • LaserMax CenterFire Laser
    • Viridian E-Series Laser
