I have both...The Ruger is a bit heavier compared to the PSA. Honestly can't go wrong with either. I've read how some AR9's can be a pain in regards to reliability but I've have yet to have any issues (only taken to the range twice). The only issues I have had with my Ruger is the peep sight somehow fell off and got lost (Ruger replaced and I made sure to use loc-tite) and using the clock mag, I really have to push them pretty good in the mag well and almost slam the bottom of the magazine to make sure it is locked in. its hard to pick one over the other, just depends what your plans are with it.

I was concerned about that, too, but after having shot my buddy's PC9 takedown, I have seen for myself that the lock-up is solid and it returns to zero. Well, at least his does...I can't speak for them all.

A blast of a gun for only $439 shipped. You'll need a lot of 9mm ammo to keep up with it though. Mine pulls home defense duty without any qualms. Probably the best home defense pistol I've owned to date once it was outfitted with a Holosun optic. Super quiet suppressed too. https://extarusa.com/ep9.htm _________________ It must be frustrating always being the smartest person in the room.-Jagerbomber35 Divided we fall.

With respect to 1639, the only real question is if you ever want a Ruger. Since AR9s are ARs, the lower is commonly sold separately, which means it's not subject to 1639.

Uppers are not.

The 1639 transfer requirements are for semi-auto rifles only, and a lower is not a rifle. _________________ Steve Benefactor Life Member, National Rifle Association Life Member, Second Amendment Foundation Patriot & Life Member, Gun Owners of America Life Member, Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms Legal Action Supporter, Firearms Policy Coalition Member, NAGR/NFGR Please support the organizations that support all of us. *Leave it cleaner than you found it.*
