I would like to hear from actual owners of the Ruger LC9s if they would buy one again after owning one, if not why would they not purchase it again.

No.

I've owned mine for 9 months and it has about 2500 rds thru it.

Pros: Looks, size, weight, ease of carry, reliability (after being repaired by Ruger-over 2000 rds since coming back without a single hiccup)

Cons: Cannot get used to the double action trigger (despite a complete Galloway tune-up--which I would recommend to any other LC9 owners)

I can shoot it just fine but it doesn't come naturally like some of my other pistols.

Yes, if I needed a very slim 9mmP pistol again I would. Now with that said I will also say that I've since discovered that the SR9c is thinner than the Glock 26/27 and can fufill the purpose I'd initially intended to use the Lc9 for.

No. I don't get along with the trigger and there are better options such as the M&P Shield. But if I want another single stack 9, I will go with either the Kimber Solo or the soon to be XDs in 9mm.

Yes...over 600 flawless rounds through it, accurate, easy to conceal. Would do it again, although I may check out the M&P Shield first if I could range-test one. I've been very happy with my LC9.

Probably, although I still can't get used to the trigger. It carries so nicely though, and has been very reliable.

+1 except I traded mine for a 1911

I would buy another one, it is a pretty good for the price. Been carrying mine IWB and practice with it often and it has been reliable. I am not a real fan of the long DA trigger but I also have an LCP so I am as used to it as I can be.

No---Trigger sucks, several FTF and FTE at under 400 rounds.

Yes !! it beats the heck out of any other gun the same size .. The LC9 is 9mm and a good defense cal with low recoil and easy to conceal. I bet in a life or death situation you won't notice the long trigger pull.

WGolf

Yes. If I had to buy a replacement I would stick with the LC9. It is compact, accurate for it's size and to date (had it two months) has been reliable so far. I learned to deal with the trigger so I guess since that's been the chief complaint I'm over it. Now, if I were to buy a new firearm to add to the collection, I'm leaning towards a revolver. Maybe an LCR chambered for 38 special.

I actually plan to purchase another one for my wife, I like it so well. I feel the same about the LCP which I plan to buy a second of as well. Great little guns, ya the trigger isn't trick but it's safe and if you practice a non-issue! Check out an after market trigger if you really feel the need.

Now the disclaimer: I carry an SR9c as my primary and depending on where I'm going the LC9 or LCP as backup. Sometimes even the LC9 as primary and LCP as backup, again depends on my plans for the day/evening and how tight I want to conceal. It's a system that I'm confident and practiced with. Your mileage may very.

Captains1911

If the trigger causes one to severely push or pull follow up shots when practicing, what makes you think the same wouldn't happen in a life or death situation?

I also don't understand this logic. Yes, the adrenaline rush would hide any pain associated with firing it, but I'm a firm believer that most people are going to shoot much better at the range than in a real life "situation". So, if I'm not comfortable shooting a gun at the range and can't accurately shoot it without concentration, then I certainly don't think my accuracy is going to improve with a BG shooting back at me.

No.

I really wanted to love the LC9. It was so easy to carry but I could not get used to the long trigger pull, so I traded for a Springfield XDS .45ACP. If the long trigger pull doesn't bother you, it is a great pistol for self defense.

I love Ruger firearms and own a Ruger Mark III Target .22LR and a Ruger SR1911 .45ACP [which is the best firearm in my collection].
