Good Evening from Southern California to Ruger Nation !

This is my first Ruger firearm and I plan to add many more in the years to come. Anyway, my first range visit with the LC9.

2/16/13

1500 PST

Indoor Range

Distance : 7 yds

50 rounds of Winchester White Box 139 grain. No FTF, No FTE, 47 rds center mass, 3 flyers.

50 rds of PRVI Partisan, 139 grain. No FTF, No FTE, 4 inch grouping, no flyers.

* 50 rds of House reloads 139 grain. No FTF, No FTE 3.5 - 4 inch grouping. No flyers. ( conventional wisdom states that reloads are to be avoided when breaking a gun but my LC9 did just fine.

Summary: The trigger pull takes some getting used too. It's a lonnnnng pull and an even longer return but once I got used to it. The gun turned to be a pretty accurate little shooter. It's only going to get better.

Anybody had any trigger work done on this? thoughts on customization if any?

God Bless our Nation and the Freedoms that we are inherently born with.

I'm sure there's folks here who can give you tips on smoothing the trigger pull. Having said that, I have some friends who are very familiar with Ruger designs and they tell me the LC9 emulates the firing system of a double action revolver. That's why it has a long trigger reset.

Tried out a buddies LC9... Thought the trigger was a LITTLE HINKY ! Didn't feel quite like the SR 9C's & 40C's. recommended a LC380 to friend of wife that wants to upgrade from her snub 38 revolver. Told her she might go to range that carries them for rent and try it out first.
