I've been on the hunt for the newly introduced Glock 43 single stack 9mm. The local cop-shop down in Little Rock where I can get one with a LEO discount has a waiting list. Though I was not an enthusiastic convert I have become a fan of the Glock line, so when told there were over 100 names on the list before mine, I ventured over to another gunshop while I was in the Little Rock area to see if they had one in stock that I could at least handle and hold.
Turns out the local gunshop did have one in the case, and as I was checking it out I noticed a little Ruger LC9S Pro on the shelf next to the G43.
"Let me take a look at that Ruger 9mm" I asked the clerk.
"You're gonna like this puppy," he said when he handed it to me. "This is the new upgraded striker fired LC9. Check out that trigger."
I did and it was very impressive. In fact, I handed the G43 back to him and closely examined the Ruger. Seems I read something about it lately in one of the gun magazines I have at home. When I got home that night I dug out the magazine article for a once over and did some internet surfing checking them out. I called a couple of LE buddies to see if they'd checked out the new Ruger, but no, they were all about the new gee-whiz-bank Glock 43.
I made another trip down to Little Rock and decided to cancel my Glock 43 order from the cop-shop and I went over and bought a Ruger LC9S Pro from the gun shop. After work I went by the range and gave it a whirl and I am very impressed. The trigger is very impressive for a striker fired firearm, and it shoots very well indeed. Holds one more round (7+1) than the G43 of the same size. I only put 50 rounds through it but I can tell I may have a new found favorite BUG and concealed carry firearm.
