My friend, Amiee, at the Shooter's Depot in Chattanooga worked with me to get one ordered and delivered.
Facts:
The Ruger is much slimmer than the GLOCK, but fires the same 9mm round.
The LC9 has a loaded chamber indicator. Here's what it looks like loaded:
And here's what it looks like when there is not a round in the chamber:
The magazine holds 7 rounds. I keep one in the chamber, so that's 8 rounds with me, vs. the GLOCK with 15 rounds.
The pistol has an external safety near the rear of the port side. Safety on:
Opinions:
The trigger is horrible. I'd say worst trigger I've ever pulled on a gun, but I have a Smith & Wesson Sigma that takes that "honor." The reset is really bad, too.
The slide release is difficult to operate. The pistol works far better with the "tap-rack-bang" methodology.
Recoil is a bit sharper than the G19 - but it is a lighter firearm, so that is to be expected. Still not bad.
Fit and finish is tight. Very nice.
Mag changes with my large hands are a bit clumsy.
Sights are adequate. There are upgrades, but I only wanted base minimum. That's all I personally need.
Extra mags are mid-priced at about $35-$40 apiece.
Accuracy was as-expected for a "pocket-pistol."
Overall:
It conceals really well, and holsters that fit are easy to find.
I do not feel undergunned with a 9mm.
Not the best trigger, but I do not expect to go into combat with it.
.
best conceal gun I have owned gos everywhere I go and thats the thing I take it every time
