I use my LC9 for personal defense use and i use personal defense ammunition because it is the highest quality available. I removed the MDS because i don't like them, they were only added to comply with California laws, and California exempts law enforcement from that restriction. If someone likes the MDS then they are a good feature and they should have it, but if someone don't like the feature they are not good at all. It is a personal preference thing, what is best for one person is not always the best for others, kind of like some people prefer pistols and others prefer revolvers, neither one is wrong, just different.
