+1 This. I found that by NOT doing this I have pulled the trigger back and the gun did not fire (ran out of leverage/angle). I have very long fingers. This could be an issue for an SD gun. Definitely have to train yourself to use the part of your finger that cause you to completely press the trigger to the point that the gun fires. This post has been going a long time. I got my LC9 recently. First shot was dead on center at SD distance. Same with most other shots. Apparently Ruger fixed, or tested better before shipping, the accuracy issues. I love my LC9. It is a sweet shooter. Trigger pull is long as others state, but this is probably a good thing for DAO SD gun (especially for pocket carriers).

After about 800 rounds through my LC9 I've gotten more used to the long pull and love the gun. Still do wish the long pull was just a tad shorter but it's not nearly as stiff now as it was when new back in March. Thanks for all the feed back and the link!

In a DAO self defense pistol that typically will be needed at ranges under 15 yards and carried concealed, a long trigger pull is a good thing.

Ruger SR9, Galloway Precision Asheville, NC LC9 performance parts

Where did you see the info about the trigger bar? IMHO the trigger pull could use a little decrease.

I think the trigger pull is excessive, my solution was to NOT use my "target finger" but to go ahead and pull the trigger with the first joint on my finger. I know it ain't right but it helped me. Still can't shoot tight groups but with this trigger do what ya gotta do, not bad for personal defense handgun.

20 yards

Not too shabby.

Those groups are all you need at 20 yards.

We are working on one to cut .250 inch out and reduce pull to 6.5-6.0 lbs
Shooting for release around mid November.

Awesome news Eric. I don't have an issue with pull weight but the drop in weight is an added bonus.

The trigger is the reason I don't have one, I'll be interested the the fix.

I had a chance to shoot a few rounds today. I was surprised that the trigger is very very smooth. No grit and not really heavy. I still think the trigger pull is just a tad too long, but I did get tricked once on the reset. There is a noticeable click about halfway through the reset. I have to treat this more like a revolver. If the new Galloway product removes that trick click, that would be awesome.
