I'm sorry Rev but I reject your idea that polymer framed rugers or the lc9 in particular have persistant problems.Again...Do you have actual experience? The fact that a few dozen owners post a complaint doesn't add up to persistant against maybe 200,000 owners that have no problems.Actually less...

Doc,I was reading on another forum the same problem with an lc9,they said some mag release springs too short were installed by ruger.The fix was to call ruger and get a replacement.

Happy with my lc9 including the trigger.Took me about 25 rounds to get used to. I sold my glock 26,it was to big to pocket and i have better choices for holster carry!
I just swapped the plastic guide rod with the galloway stainless rod today and fired 50 rounds thru it. No problems and no difference in function.No damage to slide or barrel.
