Trigger pull

I can't comment on the Springfield, but the LC9s trigger is a MUCH better trigger than the original LC9. If you otherwise like your current gun I think you'll love the new version.

That said I also have a Sig 365 which I think the Springfield is a closer comparison. The trigger is just as good on the Sig, it is just as easy to carry and holds a lot more ammo. Especially with the optional 12 round mags.

I can get the new Ruger EC9 for about $200 OTD locally, the Sig is about $450. I have no idea what the Springfield's are selling for. I've not seen one in person yet. If price is important the Ruger is a lot for the money. I'd just as soon have the EC9 as the LC9. Same gun, just a few tweaks to reduce costs.

Have had both and both very good triggers. LC9s is just slightly lighter with not much of a wall. Reset very comparable. Hellcat has more of the wall and then break which I like. From how the p365 is described I’d say it’s closer to the LC9s trigger. I sold my LC9s Pro due to like Hellcat overall much more.

I have a LC9s, the trigger is good for a gun in that price range. However, I have fairly large fingers and the square cut in the bottom of the frame pinches my trigger finger when I pull the trigger. A little Dremel work would take care of that.

+1 right down to my LC9s pro being on gunbroker and waiting on Hellcat to show up.
Will add the p365 I shot was very similar to my LC9s pro

What makes your LC9 trigger terrible? The pull weight or the distance? I happen to like the trigger pull on the LC9s and the Pro models. But everyone has a different definition of a good trigger.

For me it broke too far back and my finger ended up at an odd angle. I put some aftermarket trigger in it which helped. But then my local enabler handed me the LC9s pro.

Thanks for the inputs. I agree with mavracer, the trigger brakes too far back. So it is either the LC9s or Springfield Hellcat. Would like to try each one. Either way I don't think I can go wrong.

My LC9s is for sale just sayin

I’ve shot an LC9s quite a bit and the trigger was excellent

I haven't had the chance to fondle a Hellcat yet, so I cannot speak on their trigger. I have tested the triggers on both the LC9s and the LC9s Pro. The Pro is the same model except it doesn't have a thumb or magazine safety. Otherwise the triggers were identical. The trigger breaks about a half inch away from the frame. Which makes a world of difference as far as triggers go. I was planning on getting the LC9s or the Pro edition before I found my PPS M1.

I just coon fingered a Hellcat this past week trying to decide between it and the Sig 365.

The Hellcat surprised me with a great trigger. Just a bit better than the Sig. The Sig won out because it just felt more comfy. I did like the Hellcat sights better though. Not really a big deal though, because I plan on buying a Hellcat down the road anyway.

If you ever watched a raccoon in the wild, at the zoo, or on film; they fondle the heck out of their food or items they are inspecting. They also fondle their food a lot when washing before eating.

As a side note, I get a kick out of watching them wash their food, they are constantly/nervously looking around at everything BUT their food while washing. My guess is they are being cautious of predators or maybe another coon/food thief.

Actually, we feed some semi feral cats outdoors and have a couple of raccoons (and an opossum) pillage the cat food. They are, indeed, funny and they grab double handfulls (pawfulls?) and wash it in the water bowl.

Apologies for deviating from the thread
