    LC9 History, not good

    As soon as my gun guy gets in some P938s then my LC9 is going in the cabinet to stay. The sight thing is bother then hell out of me. Had to shave down the front sight and remove the roll pin so I could move it to the left some and I still have to have my rear sight hanging off the side of...

    SR9c - Loaded Chamber indicator, how I love thee

    Don't have an SR9C but on my LC9 I removed it ground a little off the tab so it don't stick up quite as high and colored it black so it blends in a little better. Love my LCI now since it doesn't stick up even a fourth as high as it used to. It will be better next time I do a full cleaning...

    Will Ruger ever make alternative grips for the LC9?

    Slip on is the only option unless you are willing to replace the frame. I doubt that you would find a replacment frame that had a better design anyway. Mine has Hogue slip ons on it and I really like them. They are not totallty flat. They are thicker in the middle of the grip which adds a...

    LC9 gritty trigger

    Ok I had this small issue but did not really think about it much. Just figured it would clean up as rounds went through it. Anyway, I was on the net doing some searches and came across a you tube vid about cleaning up the gritty trigger on the LC9. He goes through how to remove the firing...

    LC9 Questions?

    My front site is roll pinned also. Problem with mine is that the front site is off tot he right slightly and not centered. Why didn't they just use a set screw to lock it down??????

    Ruger LC9 Rear sights

    There is no elevation adjustment on the rear site. The screw in the site is just to lock the site down.

    NEW RUGER LCP RANGE REPORT

    I would love to get an LCP but if the trigger pull is anything similar to what my LC9 was then I don't want it. There is no way on gods green earth that a trigger has to have an inch of travel before it goes bang. Especially with these small guns. I am almost sure it can be fixed like the...

    LC9 first time shooting at an actual target

    I tried resting my hands on the hood of my pickup once but that really didn't help. But I really like this little thing once I did the mods to it. Redrilled and reshaped the ramp on the trigger bar. Milled the hammer to speed up the reset Shortened the two springs for the blocker...

    ProMag magazines for LCP?? Are they quality?

    If you want it to go bang everytime you pull the trigger, then stay away from promag.

    LC9 first time shooting at an actual target

    I would say I have burned up a total of 350 rounds through it now. The trigger pull length had been modified on mine. It is not the stock 1= inch pull anymore. More like around 1/2 inch or so. Also did some polishing etc to smooth things out and some work on some other things. I really...

    LC9 first time shooting at an actual target

    Ok, so yesterday I had some time to play. I picked up some targets and went down to my shooting place. Set everything up infront of a nice big dirt pile for a back stop. 25 paces out. First two rounds were 5 inches low and about 2 inches left. I shifted the site a bit 2 rounds at a time till I...

    LC9 - Aftermarket Trigger Options

    I had emailed Eric about sending mine in to get done up. He is a busy man so he did not get back to me right away. I am kinda impatient so I went back to my self modded hammer, redrilled my new stock trigger bar and reprofiled the ramp on the back of the trigger bar slightly so the trigger...

    Attn: LC9 Owners! I Need Your Help!

    I must have a different build of the LC9. Both my front and rear sites have a set screw in them. I burnt up a box of winchester yesterday and only 98 of them went bang. Both the non firing rounds had good hits on the primer. This was my first time actually checking the pistol out with an...

    LC9 - Aftermarket Trigger Options

    It only decreases the pull length from more then an inch to just over half an inch. It is not like to turns it into a hair trigger. You still have to pull the trigger with meaning or deliberation before it will go bang. Personally, I don't see it being a safety issue and others that have...
