Bill Ruger refused to allow many of the great firearms that Sturm Ruger currently produces today. The Mini 14 was a decent gun when Bill Ruger made it, but he refused to allow 30 round mags to be manufactured and resisted efforts to improve it. I had a KP-94 in .40 S&W. Big, heavy, crappy trigger, and only held 11 rounds. The pistols today are MUCH better and safer.

Springfield XDS in .45.

Mrs. L and I both carry them. Awesome CC guns. We got hers used with all the accessories, 2 spare mags, and the factory hard case for $300 out the door.

I like Rugers. Love my P89 but I’ll keep my Walther CCP for concealed.

I have had a P95 for years. Freaking love it. Smooth, accurate, and reliable. It is also my wife’s favorite gun to shot. But it is to big for cc. For comparison, I also have a SW M&p Shield 9mm (my carry weapon), a Taurus Millennium in 40, Ruger Mark 1 22LR. My wife had a SW Bodyguard which she hated.

I had had an LC9. It is a very concealable firearm, but as you say, the trigger is crap. As a shooter, it is almost uncontrollable, but this is probably due to the form factor. I prefer more substantial weapons like a Sig 939.

I fired a mini 14 in 1975 that had a Ruger 30rd mag attached.

Factory mag.

My Ruger LCP .380 has one of them triggers - not good for anything except close up self defense...but small size makes it comfortable to conceal and I can keep them inside a grapefruit size circle at 50’ so it works for me.

“Springfield XDS in .45.”

That’s what I carry. And XDM .45 for car gun when I can’t carry. Still looking for the perfect carry gun.

The A-Team, a 'crack commando unit', used Mini-14s, fired 1000 rounds per episode, and never hit anything.
