I had one of the first LC9 back when the first came out. Liked everything about its size and thickness and weight. But I could never shoot it good with the long trigger pull. I even put the Galloway trigger parts on it , I still always pulled the shots due to the long and stiff trigger. So I sold the LC9. I Just shot my new LC9S Pro today, what an improvement. It is easy to shoot good, the trigger is excellent. It is a very accurate pistol for its size and intended use. I believe it is perfect for concealed carry. I shot 100 rounds of various types of ammo and brands with no problems. If you are considering one , don't let any experiences shooting the LC9 affect your decision. Even thou it is the same size it shoots completely different.
