I just looked at your bio. Thanks for your service. The LC9 will be a handful, but you’re no newcomer to firearms. I considered getting an LC9 a few years ago when I was looking for a pocket pistol. It was just a little to big for me for that role, but some people manage it. Hard to go wrong with a Ruger though. Ruger is one of my favorite companies.
Yeah, I hear you. I have fired the LC9 before and it would not be my first choice but as an inherited firearm, I would rather have it than not. The only think is that without a magazine, it is pretty useless. I just need a recommendation as to the best place to go for an after market replacement. I also need to find a good .22 or .25 semi auto to train my wife / grandmother with / on.
