... wants to buy me a pistol for my birthday.
I've always been in the camp of dressing around the most gun you can reasonably carry and the SR9c has been a perfect carry gun for me for several years. Fits me like a glove, I shoot it great, love the capacity (28 rounds on tap if needed) summer or winter.
Fly in the ointment is an ever degrading back problem. Pain meds are ever increasing and I'm constantly having to make allowances. I've been slow to give up on the SR9c, but I've been looking all summer at options for something lighter.
Until recently I had narrowed my choices to the Sig P938, S&W Shield 9mm or the Walther PPS. I've put off the purchase until I could put my hands on the Walther (the Sig being the top runner otherwise).
Then Ruger releases the LC9s. I've handled the LC9 previously, and the feel is similar to the SR9, just in a smaller package. Just didn't like the DA trigger. Now with the better trigger of the LC9s, I think the die is cast. I also love the non-ambidextrous safety, a plus over the P938 (in addition to cost savings). We'll be off to the LGS this weekend to check it out.
I have a cool wife.
