Took my new lc9 to the range today, after a good cleaning. Exellent 2 boxes of Federal and winchester fmj target ammo. I wanted to sight in the lasermax laser that came with it. Worked out well. As my back up gun I can fire 25- 50 feet and hit the head on a profile target 99 out of 100 times. I got 1 flyer.Trigger you say, reliable is my answer, having carried a revolver for 20 years the trigger is no worse than the average double action snubby. "out of the box" there are endless mods coming out for these guns, if you want to make a target gun out of it.
For me I was happy having a reliable accurate gun that I could still stash in my front pocket with a sticky holster sized "md-2". I hides as well in my clothing as it's replacement the lcp. I also like being able not to worry about having it against some of my vital areas and not being concerned that it was too sensitive and might catch on a zipper or hit a set of keys.
It's not my primary, but could fill that void if it had to. Point and shoot. I have tried every gun named this week, and they were all too darn big. FL weather makes it hard to hide 1 gun let alone 2. I don't fall in love with anything anymore, if a better mousetrap comes out, I will trade this one and buy that one. I couldn't see the nano or the shield in 9mm, both those guns are made for 40 caliber, and since my primary is either 45 or 40, I don't need another heavy "over 20 oz, unloaded" pistol. I almost bought the shield, but pulled out my Glock 26, or 27, and realized it wasn't doing anything different. if It was a 40 then I might use it as a primary, but then I still need a lighter pocket gun in 9mm, as 380 is just too small. I read a lot the last 2 months and the 380 while being a perfect size to weight ratio, just lacked the stoppping power or the amount of rounds to feel comfortable any longer. I go with a glock 30 or an EMP in 40, with 2 mags, as my primary. OWB holster, and the LC9 in my sticky holster. I can arm my spouse and feel comfortable if need be.And it still has 8 rounds of 9mm JHP corbon in it. The trigger in the others was a little better in the shield but not so much in the nano. Not important enough in a back up gun, it's not for shooting targets. If you practice with it you can shoot it pretty darn fast. The laser really helps, "my 2nd one" the first one was an armalaser and was more trouble than it was worth.
PS: google Sticky holsters , if you haven't tried them, I stumbled onto them a few months ago and they are just the greatest inexpensive holster since I can remember, the material is such that it stays wher you put it, no clips hooks or any fastening device, I use them ao all my guns, ask for mike and he will hook you up. I have absolutelly nothing to do with them other than being a good customer. My LGS carries only their holster now.
