Hey gang,
I'm curious about the LC9S and would like to hear from some owners. How are the , reliability, accuracy, and overall shootability? Also, if you've shot the LC9 or LC9S and also the XDs-9, I'm curious how the recoil compares.
I'm shopping for a female shooter who is 5'3" with small hands. She has narrowed her search to these two guns, with the edge going to the LC9/LC9S due to the feel of the gun, the lighter weight, and also the presence of an external safety.
I'm concerned though that the recoil is going to beat her up. She is a chiropractor and makes her living with her hands, so she won't tolerate any abuse from a gun. I am concerned if she gets an LC9/S, she will be trading it towards an XDs in short order. Not a huge deal if that happens, but I'm trying to help her do her homework.
Edit: She has handled the Glock 43, and 26, the Shield, the Sig 290, Kimber Solo, Walther PPS and CCP, Sig 938, and a few others. She doesn't want to carry cocked and locked, and the other guns I've listed were not really to her liking. So please oh please, keep the comments to the LC9/S and how it compares to the XDs.
2nd Edit: I've started a number of threads with this common theme lately. Sorry if it's gotten repetitive or annoying. We are very close to a purchase and this is likely to be the last thread like this for a bit, until a gun is purchased and tried out.
