It wasn't bad. I owned one for a couple months, but didn't like the trigger. I don't even consider myself picky either. It just broke way too far back. It was reliable though. Never had a hiccup. The magazine disconnect was annoying also.

I have an LC9, as well as both CW40 and CW45. Love them all. I love everything about the Ruger except the magazine safety. Have to have a mag in to fire it. Nothing I don't like about it other than that.
i have one its a good gun totally reliable after 700 rounds easy to carry some complain
about the trigger for me no issues at all , I use it for carry its not a range gun or a bullseye
shooter, for a carry gun for use as close range defense tool i'm happy with it.

Mine was 100% reliable with self defense ammo.
For me there are better options out there.
The trigger is pretty long but not super heavy.
Sights? Eh

Good shooting little 9mm, but the trigger does suck. However, not nearly as bad as some claim.

Long heavy trigger. But you get usd to it. Safer that way as a pocket gun IMO. Worth $300

A friend had one. It was reliable straight out of the box. The magazine disconnect is kind of lame. It only comes with one magazine which I didn't like. It definitely has a bit of recoil but not that big of a deal. The trigger is absolutely terrible, I'm sorry but there is no way around that. I don't shoot DA Revolvers so I'm not used to those long trigger pulls. It's probably tied with that Kel Tec pocket 380 I shot one time for the worst trigger pull ever.

Very reliable. Notably strong ejection (I like that).
I hated the trigger. Got rid of it.

I love mine for concealed carry.
Not a favorite to take to the range but it does what it's designed for very well. It's small enough to be concealable but still has enough gun to grip for good controllability. The DA trigger is fairly light but not too long, after all it's a DA trigger.
Mine runs flawless with all ammo I've tried so far.
I could care less that it has a mag disconnect. It's nothing I would ask for on a gun but it's there and it's never caused an issue.

I use mine for concealed carry. I still take it to the range as a fun gun. The original grips were quite harsh, so I put on a Hogue pull on grip. That made the gun much better to shoot. The recoil isn't bad. It does get better the more you fire the gun.
It is quite accurate for such a small gun. I get good groupings and placements anywhere from 10-30 feet. Past that and it spreads out a bit. That's not too much of a concern as it isn't meant to be a distance gun.

After about 6 months of ownership and one trip to the Ruger factory for repair, I'm still trying to figure out if I like this thing.
It's now 100% reliable after Ruger replaced the slide and firing pin. I still find the trigger to be exceptionally long. The gun is difficult for me shoot accurately.
On the plus side, it does fit into my pocket depending on what I'm wearing.
I have no love or fondness for the LC9, but I'm hoping I can learn to live with it and eventually improve my accuracy.

I like mine. I do wish the trigger pull wasn't quite so long, other than that no issues in just under a year. I find myself carrying it instead of some of my other guns.

Mine is very reliable,the trigger is long but better than a stock j-frame in my opinion.

Likes:
1. very reliable
2. carries like a dream
3. very shootable for it's size, especailly with the extended mag plates
Dislikes:
1. very long trigger pull (takes some getting used to)
2. "fake" trigger reset
3. mag disconnect (i removed mine)
4. only comes with one mag and extra mags are pricey
5. recoil is quite snappy, especially with full powered defensive loads, and I'm
not that recoil sensitive
6. manual safety, although the trigger pull is so long and heavy enough that
carrying with the safety off is a non-issue
Although my dislikes outnumber my likes, I still recommend the pistol, I really do like mine with the pinky extension mag plates. The newer models have a few design changes from the earlier ones, particularly a pinned front sight and shorter firing pin spring. This is because the front sight had the tendency to shift, and there were issues with light strikes. If you can get past the trigger "deficiencies" and excessive safety features, I think you will like it.

I actually prefer the flat mags. With the extension it felt like my fingers were trying to cram three in the space of two and a half. With the flat mag, I just drop my pinky off and the remaining two fingers have plenty of room.
I did take both to the range to test side by side. I was surprised by the result. Plus the flat mag prints less on my shirt.

I have large hands, and without the pinky extension the gun feels like it wants to jump out of my hands. I agree that with the extension it feels like I'm cramming my fingers, but, it's a small gun, so that's to be expected...tradeoffs. I can't stand baby glocks either without an extension.
