I'm not real familiar with Ruger, but never heard any bad about them. I bought the Security 9 and it is a very comfortable gun to hold and shoot...made for my hands. Just wondered if anyone had any bad experiences with it. Also, I'd like to get the EC9s. It has a real safety (I carry a Glock 42 pocket gun, but I don't like their "Safety") Both are very inexpensive so I just want honest feedback on the pistols.(The Rugers). The Security 9, like I said, is a very comfortable shooter; accurate at 25 yds. Haven't bought the pocket EC9s yet. Any help would be appreciated. And for a pocket carry, is there anything better for the money and, more importantly, reliable? Thank yinz guys! Jeff T., PGH PA
