I have one but not fired it yet. I like the trigger, but I have a Shield 9/XDs 9/45acp/Sig 290RS 9mm also to carry till then.
Hickok's video is now up of the LC9S. I'm really liking the possibilities in my mind, I'll admit...

HOWEVER - that safety still nags me. Anyone who's got an LC9 or LC9S - is this the kind of safety you could leave off and forget (yes, I'm sure I just provoked at least half a dozen "train with the safety" people, but hear me out!) - ie, is it so easy to engage and disengage you'd best train on it like crazy, or is it like my wife's M&P Bodyguard 380, and so hard to move one direction or another that it isn't a problem?
I notice that you buy a new pistol and sell or trade it every few weeks. You have 46 ads for handguns for sale/trade in just over a year. Why worry about training on something you don't want?
Honest question.
I do not have the S version of the LC9, I have the original. but it is my opinion that you could train either way with it. The safety is fairly easy to click off, but not so easy to click on due to it's size. YMMV
Well! At least I've been judged! Yay!
Honest answer:
I'm searching for "the one" for carry. Think I find it only to find something that bugs me and pushes me on. I've not had an LC9 to judge from, so it was an honest question to pose to someone, I thought. Didn't realize I'd exceeded my allotment of buying and selling. Although I don't think there is one....
FWIW, I've had some guns I've kept for quite some time, if you must know. Not that I think it's anyone's business, necessarily.
I try a gun for a bit, "training" as much as I can with it between dry fire and live fire, carrying, etc. Then I either decide it works (keep it), or it doesn't for some reason (trade or sell). Sometimes I even sell one because I need some cash, then later buy another because I liked it.
Not that ANY of this really pertains to the topic at hand. Pretty sure the question was about the safety of the LC9, not my buying and selling habits....
