    anyone got one or handled one? Looking for something small to conceal and was wondering if it is worth looking at the lc9 instead of the lcp?

    Yep, i've had 1 for over a month now, couple others on here have one also. Only have about 200 rounds thru mine, but absolutelly no problem; it is larger than lcp, kinda hard to pocket carry, but overall very nice pistol

    I wish they had come out earlier. Woulda saved me a fortune if I had bought one or two of them instead of my two karh 9's. Looks like a good gun.

    I don't know if it was just the single unit that I handled, but it had the worst trigger pull I've ever come across. I would literally prefer a Sigma-- and compared them side-by-side to arrive at that decision.

    Maybe just a lemon or something, but... It was rotten. The weight wasn't so bad as the travel characteristics. I remember creep, stack, more creep, more stack-- "is this thing ever going to break the shot?" And after the break, the over travel felt like it went on forever. I was actually so shocked, I never even thought to check for the reset...

    Thinking about one to replace my Kahr P9 Covert that just suddenly died. Anybody else got any comments on the trigger? I have held them, but not pulled the trigger. Is it like 20 miles of gravel road, or was the above post just a fluke?

    FWIW, if there was grittiness (that can be polished/shot out), I didn't notice it. It was the creep/stack/creep/super stack/heavy break/10 miles of over travel that got my attention.

    I pull a trigger probably 1200 times a week (1k of them on live rounds), and I could not for the life of me get the sights on that thing to stay put during dry fire. Not just wiggle/wobble-- straight up yank and jump. It was so bad in fact, that my bet would be that there was just something wrong with that pistol. I wish there had been a few more around to mess with.

    ive had both LCP and LC9... LCP has no sights.. its a point and shoot basically... but thats what its for I guess.. up close and personal... LC9 was cool.. long trigger pull ,,,Double action only... single stack so skinny.. which is good I guess...==== 7 +1 capacity== not so good.. Id look at the PF9 keltec... alot cheaper than the ruger.. pf9 at a gun store is $279 + tax.. (I think pf9 is 7 in the mag also).. keltec p-11 is 9 in mag I think.. (single stack vs staggered stack)..

    Bought one for my MIL. I really like it. Finish is nice, and the gun fired everything I fed through it. Trigger pull is very long though, and there's too many safeties for my tastes.
