OK, well I actually do not own it yet, but I put a downpayment on the LC9 before they forever disappear in my state. I have an SR9c and an SR9 and I hope the LC9 is as good as the other 2 have been. No issues with either yet. One question... Is the trigger oull really that bad? I know it is long, and have read lots of complaints, but my state must have a 10 pound pull or it is not compliant. I think the complaints are outnumbered by those who like it but rarely speak up.

Congrats on the new gun. I think it's just a matter of getting used to it. It will seem terrible after shooting your 9c. My son in law has one and the trigger is longggg. I was watching him shoot one day, and as he was slowly squeezing the trigger I couldn't help it and said " if you pull that much farther you will
be able to shoot your gun and pick your nose at the same time" It's a nice gun but I think it would make a better ccw than a range gun. But you have to shoot it a lot to get used to it. Congrats again and I hope it works well for you. He's never had any issues with his.

It's a good trigger, but it is very long. Just practice and get used to it. It took me a little while, but it is really a nice ccw gun. You won't regret it

The LC9 is a very well made pistol that work's very well and I am pleased with the one that I own. It does have a rather long trigger pull with a long reset but I cut my eye teeth learning to shoot DA/SA revolver's so it feel's natural to me. Once you've put enough round's through your's to get a feel for it you can descide whether you want to tweak it a bit. If you do it shouldn't be any problem for you and LC9 owner's I know who have used the Galloway and Wolff Spring kit's swear by them.

Welcome from Nj where the government hates your guns.

I don't mind the long trigger pull. I figured out early though that you don't go shoot a Springfield XD and them expect to hit anything with the LC9. Going from a light trigger pull to a heavy one in the same session doesn't work very well. But I don't mind it myself. Better to have a long pull when carrying concealed in my opinion. I've had a 50/50 experience with mine. One has functioned flawlessly. The other has been back twice for the extractor flying out. This time they replaced the whole slide assembly so I have confidence that it will begin working like the other one. I'm not sorry to have bought either one.

I have the LC9 & SR9c also & enjoy both.
Clean the LC9 well prior to use & lube the trigger & do a lot of dry-firing drills, paying attention to your point of aim. It helps the trigger & you a lot. After a few hundred rounds it really smooths out, at least mine did.

Mine has been completely reliable. It does take some getting used to the trigger, especially at the range when switching from the SR9 to the LC9. I don't shoot it as much as the SR9 but I'm finally getting better with it. Hit a soda bottle at 25 yds yesterday, so I was pretty pleased with myself...

I shoot double action revolvers too, so the LC9 long trigger pull is more consistent when moving between the types. The main thing I had to get use to was the bottom of my finger rubbing on the inside of the trigger guard and making sure I don't pull the aim off before the shot breaks. Figuring out my best trigger finger geometry worked better than listening to the experts telling me where I should be placing my finger on the trigger.

If you still haven't bought your LC9 yet and have the opportunity to shoot one first, I highly recommend it.

It's not that the trigger is that "bad". It's just very, very different; nothing like your SR9. People with larger hands (like me) are the ones that seem to have the most problems with them. I liked everything about the LC9 except the trigger and that was enough to make me get rid of mine. Galloway is working on some kits which I expect will solve this problem. His early prototypes worked well for many people.

If you consider it just for what it was made for, a light weight, concealable 9mm, then you'll probably like it. But if you shoot it a lot, you may not.

The proof is in the putting, as the saying goes. See if a range has them for rent or a buddy can loan you one.

If you have large hands, may be a problem. I found I was pulling during slow shooting, but did fine at higher speeds. As others have said, not a range gun, but do need to practice with it. I now have over 700 rounds through mine, and it's a keeper.

I did put a Galloway trigger kit in, and makes a difference.

We have two LC9's. Mine is approaching 2000 rounds through it now. Her's only has a few hundred through it. Both guns have done well, no major problems. You can search my threads to see the few issues I've had.

I like the gun for what it is for. I do not so much enjoy it as a range gun, it compares to a double action revolver with a heavy trigger. It is a long trigger pull and long reset.

Best advice given here so far is to go shoot one first. I like mine, don't plan on changing soon.

EDIT: oh, I gave $349 for the first one and $299 for the second one. Both new.

The trigger pull takes a little getting used to. I find mine to be very accurate for a compact. The thing I like about the long trigger pull is in a crisis situation, someone sees you pulling back on the trigger, they know you mean it and may change their behavior.

Thats awesome!
