I just turn the gun on it's side and move the slide back and forward a little and the pin drops out.Not sure I like the disassembly so much, pulling the takedown pin with the slide at full lock like the SR9 and PF9 is a bit more convenient.
It's not bad. Because of the bigger grip of the LC9, the recoil isn't as bad as the LCP.but my concern is the amount of recoil. Is it bad?
