New Gun Day!

So I went to a gun show this weekend. Actually a pretty good trip. Got a few mags, some 9mm $17/50, and generally good shopping.

And I finally got a Ruger EC9!!!!!!

Basic black. Of course, my next stop was Amazon where I also got a Gunskins in - that's right, Muddy Girl!!!!! All in all, I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out. First time, and this was probably not the easiest gun to do. I lost a little of the grip / stap texture, but that's not anything on a gun this small. I have a couple of small wrinkles, but...whatever. Feels pretty good honestly. I may do more of these.

The whole Gunskins thing turned out pretty good. Range trip this weekend to see how she runs!

When are you going to take it to the range and give it a go?

Great question Dave! Took it 10am this morning!!!

I put maybe 100+ rounds through it, running my two 7 rd magazines.
- Remington UMC FMJ 115's
- Max Tech (by GH Ammunition) FMJ 124g's

Flawless operation. Overall, I liked how it felt. And here are some moderate slow shots using it at 7 yards.
- My wrap worked just fine. No issues.
- The top 8, and the one off the page almost were called flyer where I went high.
- It has a little snap on the wrist after a while. Not the best gun gun for delicate folks.

Now to get a pocket holster and something for IWB

Glad it's working for you. I very much like the LC9/LC9s/EC9 series of pistols.

That's about par for the LC9. They are snappy. A few more sessions might tighten those groups a bit.

I carry most of my guns IWB with a belt clip. It works for me.

I was thinking of getting one vs a holster...

Got a small soft case for it for transport.

And a couple of 9rd mags from Ruger.

Clips are interesting, but I don’t see them as a viable alternative to a holster that covers the trigger guard.
