In the past I've carried Glocks, CZ's, S&W, Kahr and Kel-Tec. All were nice semi's. But I'm a small guy (5' 6) and could never get one to fit and conceal well. Then I tried a KT PF-9. Not a bad one, plenty small enough but had problems with it. Looked at the LC9, and had a friend give me details on the actual pistol when he was at SHOT. I've got a LC9 on reserve at Bud's. I'm hoping it will be the one. I would've liked to see more reports before I bit, but I'll take my chances. As soon as I get it I will get her out and report back.

My brother-in-law, who also went out to SHOT, told me the LC9 looked and felt sweet. I know it takes a lot of flack for all the "California Safeties" etc. As far as I know the magazine disconnect can be taken care of, and the manual thumb safety doesn't have to be used. My BIL told me that he really doesn't see a way that the thumb safety could be accidentally placed 'ON." He's a serious gun guy and carries daily and I trust his opinions. Hopefully I'll have mine soon!

I'm thinking a lot of people are going to see one locally before Bud's fills their backlog of orders for this. I'd wager they have thousands of orders at that price. :wink:

That is true about the thumb safety. Mine is pretty hard to push into the on position. I don't see how you could accidently push the safety on.

There seems to be some huge differences in price on the LC9. Last I saw Buds had them at $389.00 and I just checked Kentucky Guns and they have them at $329.00...both on backorder still. :shock:

I have heard from a little bird that Ruger is working hard to try to meet the demand. Me, I'm waiting for awhile.

Well false alarm on that price of $329.00 from kygunco.com. I got an email notice that they now have the LC9 in stock so I followed the link and their price is NOW $389.00! Looks like they were playing a game with the price. :roll:
No bite from me, I'm going to ride this out and see what prices and more reviews tell. My SR9c is running excellent and I have carry pretty well figured out with it...I'm in no hurry at this point. Maybe by summer they'll have a stainless version to match big brother.
Handled one in a shop yesterday. I didn't like the feel of the grip. I believe I perceived it as too narrow...

Remember how hard it was to find an LCP for over a year after they first came out ? I'm afraid it will be the same with this one.
We will probably start seeing silly prices on Gunbroker before long.
As I remember, some people paid as much as $500 for the LCP.
