I would leave it in, either stone hone to smooth your trigger or shoot it alot and it will smooth out. To carry without a round in the chamber is like leaving the gun at home.
I know a guy who is dead from old age now, but when a young man working in his construction equipment shop out in the boonies one night his pocket .22 fell out of his top pocket, shot himself between the legs and was paralysed waist down and in a wheel chair the rest of his life, maybe 50 yrs or more. I know he should have been better trained to handle that little gun. We all make mistakes.

thanks for the reply,kind of proves no bullet in the chamber,you can rack in abullet preaty fast it also tells the perp you mean bussiness! I need someone to tell me how this blocker works.I have a extra blocker. Do you round the face of it and get rid of the small step on it??

No round in the chamber is great in an ideal situation. If you have to draw fast and fire or if you are hands on with a perp, it's not going to help you at all. Many encounters require speed of action, having to rack the slide doesn't allow it

Were talking about the LC9 here folks. It has a manual safety. One in the chamber with the safety on is as safe as you should need. The problem with not keeping a round in the chamber is that you need both hands to rack a round. it only takes one hand to flip off the safety.

The safety does not stop the hammer from accidentally slamming forward. it only stops the trigger from being pulled.
What I did to my blocker. Pulled the rear sight, pulled the blocker out. Used my 1 inch belt grinder with a worn belt on it to remove a tad bit of material from the front of the blocker and it also polished it real nice. The gritty pull issue is now gone.
The problem is that in a rest position, the firing pin is being forced against the blocker by the firing pin spring. There is a groove in the firing pin and with a pin that goes in this groove to keep the firing pin from going too far backward. The firing pin is stopping against the blocker instead of the groove.
I would pull the blocker and get after the front (muzzle) side of the blocker again.
Either that or not use it as a carry weapon because not having one in the chamber will mean the difference between you protecting yourself or someone taking over your firearm and possibly using it against you.
I guess what I am saying is fix the blocker and put it back in.
