Hey guys! I just picked up an LC9 over the weekend. It's my first handgun purchase. I have a Hi Point C9 and an American European Armory .22 revolver that I received as gifts, but I needed something that lent itself better to concealed carry. I had planned on picking up a Kel-Tec PF9, but after handling it, I simply couldn't bring myself to buy... it absolutely felt like junk, and they looked beat up even though they were brand new!
Anyway, I haven't fired the LC9 yet, wanted to make sure I understood all the workings first. I've read the manual twice and done countless internet searches without finding an answer to this question: why does the LC9 half cock? What purpose does it serve? It seems odd to me that it does this when it's already double action.
Also: I can't find a way to un-cock the half cock. Can it be done? Should it be done?
Thanks a bunch!
