Correct Installation of Lock
on Ruger
®
LC9
TM
Pistols
Use the Correct Lock: While the basic locking device is substantially similar
for all Ruger
®
firearms, due to the different shapes of the many Ruger
®
firearms, some firearms utilize different locking devices. The lock with a 5”
shackle is used on the LC9
TM
. It is very important to use the correct locking
device!
To Install the Factory-Supplied Locking Device:
1. Keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction and your fingers outside the
trigger guard at all times!
2. Be sure the firearm is completely unloaded and contains no cartridges or
cartridge cases!
3. Remove the magazine from your pistol.
4. Open the action completely. Use the slide stop to keep the action open during
installation of the locking device.
5. Apply the locking device by placing the shackle of the lock into your pistol
as shown below.
6. Close the lock by pressing the shackle into the body of the lock (the part that
receives the key) as tightly together as possible. The lock has bumpers and
the shackle is coated with a non-marring material that will not harm the
metal finish of your firearm.
7. Once the lock is securely closed, remove the key and pull firmly on the lock
to test the connection and be sure it is locked. Do not leave or store your
firearm with the key in the lock! Store your locked unloaded firearm and the
key in secure, separate locations, away from ammunition, children, or
unauthorized adults.
