This might be considered a double post, if so I apologize, just looking for insight and others experience with the issue.
I have owned my LC9 since mid-December and only have around 250 rounds through it currently and have been in love with the gun up until my last range trip. I purchased 2 new clips for my little 9 before heading to the range. (Was excited because I had been waiting for a month for them, apparently they are very hard to procure currently.)
Upon arrival to the range I loaded up all 3 clips, and slowly put the first clip down range with a nice grouping @ 10 yards. I then proceeded to fire the second clip also at 10 yards with horrendous results! I had them sprayed everywhere. I got to looking at the gun and noticed my rear sight had come loose and was sliding 1/4" inch left or right. No biggie, I tightened it best I could with my pocket knife until I could get home to an allen wrench.
I then loaded up and shot the third clip (One of the two new clips) with much better results accuracy wise. The second to last round stove piped on me. I don't think I was limp wristing it, but I guess I very well could have. Also I wonder if it had anything to do with the new clip.
The stove pipe concerned me a bit, so I loaded up all three clips a dumped out all the ammo as quick as i could trying to replicate the stove pipe. Chewed up all the clips with no issue, but the rear sight was getting loose again.
I packed her up and brought it home, tightened the sight properly and gave her a good scrubbing. I have also swapped my XD45 as my carry gun as my confidence is a tad shaken in the ruger. (Could of been the new clip, or my limp noodle wrist) I just know my XD45 has never faultered in over 2,000 rounds.
I have also been reading up on the light strike issues people have been reporting, and I can honestly say that I have not inspected my spent casings, but I will on the next range trip with great detail. I plan on throwing 200-300 rounds down range with her this weekend and will update on how it goes, maybe I can get a little confidence back in her.
Has anyone else had any experience with stove piping? It seems everyone has either had ZERO problems or horrible light striking problems.
FYI - I clean ALL of my guns religiously after EVERY range trip if they fired 1,000 rounds or 10 rounds. I was also using winchester white box target ammo from wally world. I have also ran a box of 50 federal hallow points and a clip of speer gold dot. She stove piped with the white box wally world target round.

. The LC9 has never stove piped for either her or me, never. Incidentally, the SR9c does not ever stove pipe when I fire it. Go figure. Three different magazines (not clips) used in the LC9 - all good!
