Galloway precision just received another batch of 35% shorter stroke trigger bars.

I haven't shot one, but basically it's like a DA revolver trigger right?

Hella long trigger pull. yeah, its long. but i shoot it really well. no complaints about the trigger. was thinking about the kahr cw9, but im liking the ruger a lot. Problem is you bought this for your GF and she obviously never shot it before. She'll more than likely never like shooting it unless you're encouraging her to do so or you and her take a chance on it not igniting a primer with a spring kit. I've recommended guns to women and I always have them handle and then rent whatever gun they're interesting in before buying. Some can do it by just holding it if that's all they can do, but there have been many who like the gun while holding it and hate it when they shoot it. As for the LC9, it's a good gun. My dad has one and I've shot it a few times, but I'll take my 9mm Shield over it any day. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Love mine and the LCP as well. Yeah, they have long triggers but neither one is meant to be a damn competition gun like some here seem to think. The LCP and LC9 are both "get off me" guns and you ain't gonna be taking a lot of time to think about the trigger pull, etc. Apparently this is lost on most. It's not a gun to get in a gunfight with. It's a gun to pull on someone close to or within arm's reach. You really think trigger pull is going to effect accuracy at the intended range? No. You want reliability...I've yet to hear anything about bad reliability with these. Looking at picking one up for the wife. |

I suspect most persons who bellyache about the LC9 trigger pull have never firesd a double action revolver, and hence have only single action or "safe action" type triggers upon which to make comparisons.
One poster mentioned comparing the LC9 trigger to a J-frame S&W, and that is a very fair comparison. Both arms are intended to close-in work, and under those conditions, the LC9 does quite well. |

My factory Ruger mags were made in Italty. Ruger subs to Mechar for them. I guess the news I heard was wrong then with regard to American made LC9 mags. On the other hand I know some mags for the LCP are made here now case I just bought one. |

This is what I'm thinking too. It's not a typical striker fired gun. It's like a revolver, so you don't glock yourself in the leg. |

Love mine for what it is- very concealable little pistol that shoots well. I got it for $ 275 bucks at my LGS and couldn't be happier with the purchase.

I carry one as my off duty pistol. I like it and it seems pretty accurate for a DAO pistol. The trigger is a little heavy and could be a little wider. I recommend it.

I am carrying one right now. I like it a lot. I have a lot of revolver background so the trigger didn't bother me at all. You aren't going to win the Olympics with it anyway. Just let her get enough trigger time to get the hang of it and she should be fine. Any trigger can be mastered esp for a 7 yard gun.

I absolutely LOVE mine for CCW. It IS NOT a 1911. It IS NOT a target pistol. Pull the trigger like it is intended to be pulled and it gets the job done 100%. .....

Pocket carry is the only reason I was considering one. I addition to not being crazy about it, there's no way I could pocket carry an LC9 unless I wore Hammer pants. If I could I would accept its other limitations as long as I could file down the chamber indicator.  Quote HistoryQuoted:

I upgraded mine with Galloway parts and still hated it. I traded it in for a XDS (couldn't get my hands on a Shield at the time). I would go with a Shield or XDS if I was buying a sub 9mm. The xds just seemed too big for my pocket. The LC9 without a laser fits in the same DeSantis Nemisis the LCP with a laser came out of and hides about as well so for now I'm satisfied. Pocket carry is the only reason I was considering one. I addition to not being crazy about it, there's no way I could pocket carry an LC9 unless I wore Hammer pants.

FYI - If I remember right, Galloway makes a blank for that chamber indicator that doesn't sit proud when a round is in. |

Yes i have one.
It got a little damp on one side one day and finish came off in spots. I really dont care its a carry gun. Triggers heavy and long(really long and heavy) (which depending on you may be a good thing this gun in really hard to ND) If i wanted a gun with a good trigger i would pay the $ and get one but for $320 i paid for it im happy. If you plan to target shoot this gun forget about it. If you have to shoot someone ridiculously far away it would be really hard for me to do. If you want a cheap thin reliable carry gun that disappears in your pocket or inside your waistband. This is a good choice. Slide release it very stiff and small on mine, sights a pretty good for as small as gun is. I have never had a malfunction with any of the ammo i fed through it.(FMJ,LRN, and various JHP) Never a failure to feed, eject, or fire. Not even once. I havent put 10,000 rounds through it but for a $300 gun im happy. |

I use it as a pocket gun and I like it fine for that role. Beats a .380 IMO.

The trigger is horrible. But, my girl loves it and shoots it well. That, and the fact that it is reliable is all I care about. Agree with the trigger being horrible BUT I have shot many different pocket pistols and they ALL have horrible tiggers to me as I am a 1911 person. So, apparently you can't design one of these little critters with a GOOD trigger pull. |
