Choosing a compact, reliable semi-automatic for personal security requires attention to real-world condition, controllability, and included accessories. A well-maintained carry pistol that balances concealability with adequate capacity can be the difference in a defensive encounter or daily peace of mind.

RUGER LC9 is a pre-owned 9mm pistol presented in good condition, and this listing highlights practical serviceability: the bore and feed ramp are clean, the action runs tight, and the slide shows only holster wear. It ships with two 7-round magazines and an IWB We The People holster, giving an immediate carry package right out of the box. Shop this product

Design and condition details

This RUGER LC9 uses a double-action-only (DAO) trigger system over a 3.12-inch barrel, an alloy steel slide with a blue finish, and a black glass-filled nylon grip frame. The factory spec includes 3-dot sights with a fixed front and adjustable rear sight, a finger grip extension on the magazine, and a loaded chamber indicator—features that support both daily carry and basic defensive shooting. Photos of this exact example show minor holster wear on the slide; mechanically the pistol is described as tight and clean.

Performance, caliber, and carry considerations

The 9mm chambering provides a practical balance of manageable recoil, magazine capacity, and proven terminal performance for self-defense. With two included 7-shot magazines, you have redundancy for training and carry. The DAO trigger promotes a consistent long pull for deliberate shots under stress, and the slightly larger footprint than the LCP improves shootability while remaining easily concealable. Given the clean bore and feed ramp, expect reliable feeding when using quality defensive and training ammunition.

Price-conscious buyers will note the listing price of $289.99, which positions this RUGER LC9 as an affordable route into a tested compact platform. For availability and exact condition photos, View product details and pricing.
