    Trigger pull

    Thanks for the inputs. I agree with mavracer, the trigger brakes too far back. So it is either the LC9s or Springfield Hellcat. Would like to try each one. Either way I don't think I can go wrong.

    Trigger pull

    Looking for opinions on the Ruger LC9s and the Springfield Hell Cat trigger pull. I heard they both had excellent triggers. My current carry is a Ruger LC9, which I want to replace because the trigger pull is terrible.

    Floridians: Take your guns, concealed carry prohibition suspended during evacuation

    What if a person was evacuating say to the state of Georgia. Would they not have to abide in their laws. I know states have reciprocating laws but not all honor other states CWC. I live in Virginia and Georgia does not recognize Virginia's concealed carry permits. I was traveling to Florida...

    EDC/CCW: how many rounds do YOU carry?

    My Ruger LC9 holds 7 rounds. When I carry it I bring a spare mag. My Glock 17 holds 16 rounds so I leave my spare mag at home.

    NPR: Does carrying a pistol make you safer

    I don't think I feel safer carrying but I do have the option of defending myself/family. Practicing at the range gets you acquainted with your weapon and shoot with accuracy. In a real life situation you will have to make a quick decision and it needs to be correct. Make a wrong decision and...

    Wearing Bifocal glasses

    I am having a problem sighting in my sights when shooting my LC9. If I bend my right arm which brings my gun closer to my face I get a clear view of my sights. Bending my right arm feels strange though. Anyone else have this issue. I tried not wearing my glasses but my sights are fuzzy. Any ideas?

    Open or Concealed

    Do you prefer to carry open or concealed? Now that it is summer I find it hard to carry my 9mm concealed. I feel uncomfortable with open carry. Is open carry something you need to get used to?

    Thoughts on LC9

    I bought my LC9 a year ago and I am disappointed with the trigger pull. It has to much play. I would suggest going with the Smith & Wesson M&P 9mm. If you can try shooting different guns at a range.

    LC9 trigger kit by Galloway

    Galloway Precision Kit for LC9 Yes I ordered and incorporated the 35% kit myself. I had a problem making the trigger adjustment as per Galloway's video. I called Galloway and they said the trigger bar would have to be ground down some. Just got my LC9 back and went target practicing. There...

    Ruger LC9 Accuracy

    Thanks for suggesting I go to YouTube. Great material concerning LC9 trigger problems. I was amazed how well Jeff Quinn and Hickok shot the LC9. Also there is a fix to reduce the trigger travel.

    Ruger LC9 Accuracy

    Thank you all for the inputs/recommendations. I'll try to loosen my grip some and give myself some time to get used to the trigger. If that doesn't work I will trade it in.

    Ruger LC9 Accuracy

    I recently purchased a LC9 and went target practicing. At about 14 feet I shot 21 rounds and only hit the target 6 times. Thinking it could be me I had a buddy of mine try his skill. He had the same problem. I shot his S&W MP 9mm and put all rounds in the target. With that said I'm thinking...

    Broken firing pin

    Firing pin Thanks Jim for your feedback. I believe having a new pin installed is the way to go. I sent the pictures to a local gunsmith and waiting for his reply. I would be nice to get this old gun in working order. My 94 year old father-in-law owned this pistol.
