The EC9s is an everyday-carry pistol chambered for 9mm Luger with a jaw-dropping suggested price of $299.<\/p>\n<p>The EC9s is patterned off the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/top-5-polymer-single-stack-9mms\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"ruger-drops-floor-on-concealed-carry-costs-with-new-ec9s\" title=\"Ruger Drops Floor on Concealed Carry Costs with New EC9s\">LC9 series<\/a>, which will make finding holsters and spare mags a cinch. Ruger managed to deliver the EC9s at such a low price by reducing the amount of machine time needed to make each pistol.<\/p>\n<p>The slide has simple rear serrations and basic integral sights. From the outside, is hard to differentiate from the LC9s, Ruger&#8217;s previous low-cost concealed-carry pistol. While it only comes with one magazine, it still ticks all the right boxes for protection.<\/p>\n<p>The EC9s is a polymer-framed, single-stack striker-fired pistol with a standard capacity of 7+1 rounds of 9mm. It comes with one flush and one extended magazine floorplate to accommodate grip size preferences. Ruger also offers extended magazines for a 9+1 capacity that provide a full-length grip for even the largest hands.<\/p>\n<p>The EC9s has multiple external safeties including a manual thumb safety, trigger safety, magazine disconnect and loaded chamber port. It has a 3.1-inch barrel and measures just .9 inches wide.<\/p>\n<p>Unloaded it weighs just a hair over 17 ounces. It&#8217;s just about perfect for concealed-carry, especially priced so low.<\/p>\n<p>With real-world prices starting around $240 and up, it&#8217;s safe to say that carrying\u00a0concealed has never been so affordable. Until now if shoppers didn&#8217;t find a deal their best options in this price range have often been used or surplus firearms.<\/p>\n<p>But the second-hand market can be hard to navigate, especially for first-time gun owners. Many surplus firearms are not made for concealed-carry, and being able to pick a used gun that&#8217;s solid and reliable takes know-how.<\/p>\n<p>And while there are a few low-cost manufacturers that make inexpensive everyday-carry guns in this price range, none of them can match Ruger for quality control and customer service.<\/p>\n<p>The EC9s is a straightforward option for anyone looking for an inexpensive way to carry a concealed handgun on a budget. While features like night sights are not an option for EC9s owners, that&#8217;s not a problem at these prices.<\/p>\n<h2>See Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/rugers-got-5-new-pocket-revolvers-in-22-wmr-through-9mm\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"ruger-drops-floor-on-concealed-carry-costs-with-new-ec9s\" title=\"Ruger Drops Floor on Concealed Carry Costs with New EC9s\">Ruger&#8217;s Got 5 New Pocket Revolvers in .22 through 9mm<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Concealed-carry can have a lot of hidden costs.
