I have been shooting the Ruger LCP's and the Ruger LC9's since they first came out. I am on my fourth LCP, having burned out three of them. I now am on my second LC9 the LC9S. I no longer recommend the LCP's, there are so many guns much
better quality and milder shooting. However the LC9S is one of the finest semi's Ruger has ever come out with IMO.
I have a size large hand with long fingers and for me this gun fits perfect.
1) Thousands of rounds down range and ultra reliable with any ammo I have fed it.
2) Arguably one of the best if not best Triggers out there. As Hickcock45 said in reviewing another gun, "The LC9S has almost a target trigger". (this could be good or bad considering your views on CCW safety. I have trained all my life with safeties so this is a mute point for me.
3) I love the stippling on the gun. I think it is the best I have seen. Yes, it may seem hard at first, but once you get use to it, you DO NOT want to go back.
4) I find the gun to be a very mild shooter, easy to control, just a lovely shooting machine. Some may say it as a muzzle flip, I never notice this.
5) Superb accuracy. Very easy for me to shoot bulls eye's target shooting at 7 yds, But where this gun shines is fast point and shoot at 10-15 yds.
6) Great magazines. I have 10 of them and they all load perfect, never a feed issue etc.
7) The "Cool" look-Well Made nice thin design that rides close to my body in a Mitch Rosen belt holster. The gun is very streamlined.
Yes, I highly recommend this gun. If I were to want another 9mm Single stack, I would choose the Kahr CM9. Actually getting ready to purchase one as they have them on Bud's for $259.
