I've seen lots of the Ruger 9s used for CHL quals, and as said above, rock solid reliable. But ... heavy, bulky - and a decocker that sounds like a sledgehammer.

Their revolvers probably have an even better reputation for being built like battleships.

But ... with "small, light and concealable" being the major ticket in the concealed carry niche, it appears their marketing people got it right with the LCP.
