Found a dealer with a few LC9's that he is willing to let go for $225.
Of course with shipping and ffl fees the price would elevate to $270. Ruger is phasing these pistols out for the striker model and I have heard many people complain they like the pistol but hate the trigger. I was wanting a low cost but not low quality car gun in 9mm and was wondering if for the price out the door would you consider it worth it?? |

I have a LC9 and like it. For that price I'd absolutely buy it. It is small and accurate, and shoots like a much larger gun. The trigger does kinda suck (though it's worlds better than a Kahr). I put the Galloway trigger in mine and it's now a decent usable trigger. |

LC9s>lc9 too bad there isn't a way to convert to striker fired from DAO |

The Pro is the FAR superior gun. However, for a compact 9mm even the basic LC9 is a good gun. It's reliable, and it will hit the target, it's just the trigger pull is very long (on my LC9 it's a very light pull). I have no problem saying get the gun for $225 for a CCW or 'throw in the tacklebox' kinda gun. |

But I never had a mechanical problem. Sounds like a personal problem. The sights are fine, better than above touted G43, but if you can't shoot straight because of a long trigger pull - well time to get some training. |

They are miles better than a Ruger SP101, for example. Or the monstrosity that is the SIG Mosquito trigger. ETA: I just did some dry-firing with my LC9. I've not been giving it enough credit, it's actually a pretty good trigger. Even the stock trigger was decent. |

Seriously though I tried. It's not like I completely suck at shooting. I have what I think are fairly reasonable expectations of what I think I should be able to do with a gun. And the LC9 fought with me every step of the way. Are there much better shooters than me that don't have a problem with the LC9? Sure. DA revolver guys will probably do much better. I don't own any revolvers. If I wanted to hit something I had to go ridiculously slow. I would love to have more time and money to shoot, but I don't. My shield works for me, and I don't feel like I have to fight with it, and I am a lot faster with it. |

I'm wondering if the posters complaining about the trigger are familiar with firing a revolver. I own 21 revolvers (Colt, S&W, Charter Arms, H&R, and Ruger... I'll admit that I haven't fired everyone of them... But the ones that I've fired have a better and shorter trigger pull than the LC9. |

The original LC9 is a good gun. The trigger pull is long but it is not much different than a double action revolver. One of my daughters has one and she can easily keep all her shots in a 4" bullseye at 7 yards. She did that the first time she ever shot it. One of my friends daughters is 22 and wanted a gun. He got her one. I took her shooting with it for the first time. I did not realize she had never fired a handgun before. She left that range session sad about her gun. She was the worst pistol shot I have ever seen. No kidding.
We went back another time. I let her shoot a Ruger 22 pistol a little to warm up and get grounded and then switched to her LC9. She shot it great. She got her permit and qualified no problem and even put some head shots on her target. If I can take a 125 lb 22 year old girl who has never fired a pistol before and have her shooting accurately after two range sessions, I think the talk about the LC9 being no good is just whining. It is also a very safe gun with a loaded chamber indicator, mag disconnect, and the long trigger pull makes it hard to shoot by mistake. A gun is like a guitar. I can buy a vintage Gibson guitar but I can not play a song. It is not the guitar. It is me. Practice with the LC9 and you will like it. |

I'm eying these myself and trying to decide between the two types. I normally prefer hammer driven. |

Been wanting to get the Galloway trigger for mine. Even stock, I shoot it a lot better than my dao j-frame. This, for me too. I think about getting the trigger kit for my LC9 then I shoot the gun again & realize it's fine without it. I don't want a CCW/truck pistol to be too easy to go off. I want the firing of it to be a committed movement, just like a dao j-frame is. The LC9 trigger is just WAY smoother, the pistol carries more rounds & is reloaded a lot quicker. |
As the old saying goes...When you snooze,you lose.
After asking about this pistol and receiving fairly favorable feedback from several here I decided to watch several you tube reviews on the pistol and decided for the price that I was going to go ahead and just buy it for the low price alone and just get use to the trigger. And even if I found way it to hard to deal with I could always sell it and not lose a cent. So after dealing with some things here at home I got on the computer to GunBroker and every single one of them were gone.
Probably grabbed by alerted arfcomers of the smoking deal. 
Anyway now that the best deal is no longer available so I will look into maybe a PF9 or maybe another LC9 will surface at a near price as those others. Who knows maybe a LC9S will pop up at a deal to good to pass up. Moral of yesterdays lesson...Don't wait...Bid!! |

I jumped on a PC9S Pro sold by an FFL dealing out of his kitchen for really cheap. Once shooters started realizing how nifty new these pistols really are, the deals dried up |

Especially for a car gun that doesn't need to be the pocket sized LC9. How about a used glock 19 or 27? |
