( 5 out of 5) LC9s Pro 1 month later

by Jeff from Freeport, FL on April 20, 2017

I have had the gun about a month now and I am prepared to review it. Firstly, Sportsmans Outdoor Superstore was great to buy from. It took a longer than I hoped but it was delivered within the longer end of the window of expectation. I have been a Ruger fan since my first Mark II in 82, so I am admittedly somewhat biased. In opening the box, it included the bare essentials, so I have added 2 more factory mags. I also bought several holsters from Outbags, my new favorite holster maker. This gun carries very well. I have been trained using a Glock and carry a Model 27, but found it slightly wide for most of the clothes I wear for work, so I wanted something a little lighter and thinner. I tried an LCP previously, but I am 6'2" and 240, and the LCP gets lost in my hands. So, I moved up to the LC9. Being a Glock fan, I liked the idea of a striker fire with a short trigger. So the results are in.



My first shot out of the box was center bull. I wish the rest of the magazine was as well but I was able to tighten it up after a few rounds. The sights are a little hard to see but I was able to hold the gun on target while shooting. The trigger surprised me a little. It is really light and short. I am going to need to train a little more and I definitely need to practice capturing the trigger after each shot and doing a very deliberate reset since I found myself popping off a second shot from the recoil. I really like the gun. No malfunctions to date. I also added some BooDad grip tape to help firm up the purchase in my hand. In conclusion, this is a great carry gun and the price was outstanding.
