Ruger lc9s

Long story short, went pistol shopping with my wife and she fell in love with the lc9s. Anyone have personal experience with it. Maybe your wives,daughters or girlfriends experience?

Well the recoil is pretty snappy.

I shot one as a rental. I found the trigger mushier than the trigger in my S&W M&P Shield.

Dry firing in the store the trigger felt pretty nice,

Take a look at the LC9S Pro, no external safety and no magazine disconnect.

I bought the original LC9 when it was first released and it is one of the only regrets I have in all of my firearm purchases. Worst. Trigger. Ever.

I know they improved the trigger with this model, but why can't these companies get it right the first time?

Originally I bought a used Lc9. It was ok in most ways except the trigger required a lot of patience to get the feel of it, and that made it just acceptable.

I sold it and bought a used Lc9s Pro. It was much better than the Lc9 to the point I was extremely satisfied with the trigger. I thought that the absence of a safety would be ok. Then as read about the many self inflicted wounds from pistols with no safety I had second thoughts.

I cut my pistol teeth in the Corps when I carried M1911 in combat. It had three safeties: handgrip, half cock and a thumb safety. None of that slowed me down in a firefight, and I knew of no incident of an accidental shooting.

So I sold the Lc9s Pro and bought a new Lc9s. It is a good compromise between safety and speed.

I shoot Underwood Crtical Penatrator ammo (90 gr +P). It meets FBI penetration standards but reduces the kick when compared to 115 gr hollow point.

The Lc9s and the Critical Penatrator ammo are an excellent combination for concealed self defense.

I don't think it's too bad. In fact I rather enjoy putting a bunch of rounds down range through the LC9s. Better recoil than a .38 snubby, not as smooth as a Glock 42...


I'd say two thumbs up for your wife to get it.

Thanks for the replies! keep them coming.

I bought a LC9s, and I love it! It fits my short-fingered hand, and the trigger is easy to work.

I added rubber Talon Grips, which makes it easier to hold on.

My only issue is that it was easy to accidentally bump the mag release while shooting. I adjusted my thumb position a little, and that problem went away.
