Ruger LC9S vs Glock 43

[Madeinhb]

I rented both of these and shoot both well. I know the Ruger is less expensive. (Cabelas has it for 319 right now). I like both a days trying to decide on my conceal carry. I carry in jacket pocket a lot or shorts pocket. I have a G17 and know it's a tank. Sweat won't bother it. I heard a rumor about the Ruger having issues with sweat (when carrying IWB)

Anyone have experience with either or have opinions?

I have experience with the 43 but not the Ruger to compare. I loved the 43 but ultimately parted ways with it. Other than the width, it's pretty much the same size as the 26. Personally, for me, I found it didn't really conceal much better than the 26.

My Glock 43 started rusting within a month of purchasing it. Had to start wearing an undershirt, and kept up after the slide with some oil.

I must not sweat enough...

Depending on who you are, you can rust any gun.

Maybe you need to do more crossfit.

The real question is. Is there a difference between the keltec and ruger except price?

I might be wrong because I'm not really a Ruger (or Keltec) guy, but I don't think the LC9 is a copy of a Keltec. Unlike the LCP which is pretty much a carbon copy of the P3AT.

Am I wrong?

The very first sentence says he shot both guns well, and that tells me there must be a distance. I had a Kel-tec PF9 and it physically hurt to shoot and I couldn't hit anything.

If you like the fit, it seems a question of whether you want an additional safety.
