November 09, 2011
Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE: RGR) is proud to announce the new Ruger LCP® and LC9™ pistols equipped with LaserMax CenterFire™ lasers. Now the same award-winning LCP and LC9 pistols are available from the factory fitted with a trigger-guard-mounted LaserMax CenterFire red diode laser.

"We are very excited about the introduction of the LCP and LC9 with the LaserMax CenterFire lasers," said Chris Killoy, Ruger Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "Our customers have made these two pistols some of the most popular concealed carry firearms in the nation, and we're happy to provide more options in this product line by incorporating durable LaserMax CenterFire lasers into factory production models. For those who prefer a firearm with a laser, this combination can't be beat," he concluded.

The new LCP and LC9 pistols both feature a LaserMax CenterFire trigger-guard-mounted laser with ambidextrous on/off switch. The laser can be adjusted for both windage and elevation with an Allen wrench (included), and can be removed easily with a Phillips-head screwdriver. These rugged, reliable pistols are polymer-framed, hammer-fired, double-action only pistols, and both have won the Shooting Industry Academy of Excellence "Handgun of the Year" award. The LCP is chambered in .380 Auto and has a capacity of 6+1 rounds. The LC9, which is available for sale in all 50 states, is chambered in 9mm Luger and has a capacity of 7+1 rounds. Both pistols are designed for snag free carry in a pocket or holster, and come with both flat bottom and finger groove extension magazine buttplates that can be changed to accommodate the shooter's preference.
