I was waiting for honeymoon to end before mentioning it. When I saw the LC9s pro I was sold. I recently sold off my LCP and purchased the pro.
I was not sold short. The trigger on this gun is pretty nice and not just by comparison to the LCP or early hammer fired LC9. The size difference is preferred for me as it fits quite a bit better. I would say it is too big for pocket carry for me, but I never pocket carried the LCP. On some occasions I may carry it in a cargo pocket but it is far from to big to carry in one of those.
I paired it up with a Crossbreed mini-tuck IWB holster and it disappears comfortably beneath a light cover shirt and doesn't provide a coat hanger off my hind quarter when bending over. I have to give kudos to Crossbreed, I love their holsters.
There is no hiding that the LC9s is snappy. It makes the 9mm feel quite a bit more powerful than it is, but it ,"for me", is quite controllable and accurate shots have been easily repeatable. At my little out door range I have two swinging steel targets that are 4" wide by 10" tall. At approx. 10 yds I was easily able to ring them in sequence through the magazine at a slightly quicker than heart beat pace. I will credit that mostly to the trigger. Despite having a fairly long reset, subsequent shots rang quickly and the reset went completely unnoticed.
If your in the market for a slim single, I would give a solid recommendation for the LC9s pro.
For those who may not know:
The Ruger LC9 came with a double action hammer fired trigger mechanism that was known to be very poor.
The LC9s changed over to a striker fired trigger that was leaps and bounds better than the original LC9
The LC9s Pro has done away with the safety that many viewed as completely unnecessary with the striker fired trigger safety.
