I checked out the LC9 in my quest for a pocket 9mm. Ended up with the Shield. I liked the trigger and the ergos of the Shield much more and it seemed to fit my pocket better. I'm happy with it and haven't had a malfunction with it yet.
Durability wise I tip my hat to the S&W shield. Concealaibility wise I tip my hat to Ruger. The LC9s really does well in the trigger pull department. Which one is right for you? That depends on many factors. I would evaluate your needs before making that decision.
And ONCE AGAIN... the LC9 is not the same animal as the LC9s. Cannot compare the triggers in the same sentence.
I DO understand liking the ergos of the Shield better, but how in the world of physics does the Shield fit your pocket better?
Just seemed easier to pull out of my pocket. Don't remember exactly honestly but I just remember liking it better in the pocket. What do you mean about the triggers? I'm confused by what you said.
Oh okay. I think I'm pretty well set with my choice. Didn't like the ergos of the LC9 which was the biggest turn off.
