I had a Ruger LCP and an LC9 before I traded them on a S&W M&P compact 9. One thing I will say for Ruger is that you can go to their website and get a parts breakdown on their pistols at any time and the parts are available from that point. From what I can see you have to purchase a parts CD from S&W? How easy it to find and purchase parts?
Thanks,
