I purchased a LC9s last week and last night was the first time I had a chance to bring to the range. I ran through 2 magazines without any issues. The second shot on my third magazine blew the gun apart! I was using standard off the shelf ammo - Geco, not reloads, not +P. I was LUCKY!!!! I ended up with 2 cuts one below my glasses on the cheek bone and one on my forehead and a black eye. I should've done my homework before buying this pistol! Come to find out there's a lot of people posting on the web the exact same experience so if you have this pistol be aware.
