You are right nice little gun.

Bootsdeal , Like I said before and from reading most all these posts it's a great little gun. I know at least ten people in my group of friends who have a LC9 and love them and trust them 100%.
The trigger is not hard to get a feel for at all most people get it very quickly. Mine can hit 8in steel plates at 7 to 10 yards all day long. I have carried mine in a parker holster every day for two years.
Good luck and have fun !

The LC9 is my first handgun and reading some of this makes me a little nervous. I've read so many positive reviews of the LC9 and picked mine up for 299 -- figured it was a no-brainer. Now I'm wondering if I made a big mistake, considering I'm not an experienced shooter.

I know that lots of practice is critical and I'm up for it but are there any tips for this longer trigger pull? Just be patient and get used to it?

Yikes. Now wondering if I should have picked up the LCR instead. LC9 buyer's remorse?!!

You will be fine, practice and know your gun , the trigger was made to have a long pull because it's a carry gun. Not sure why people complain about it. If it was a target pistol that would be different . Just shoot it !
Don't pay much attention to some of the rants you see .. Most all people will agree it's a great little gun. There's not many perfect guns out there. I have over 1000 rounds through mine.
Enjoy your LC9 and just shoot it.

A carry gun does not need a 1+ inch long trigger pull. The Shield doesn't have a super long trigger pull and it was designed as a carry weapon.

The Sig P 238 and P 938 are both carry weapons and don't have super long trigger pulls.

Also just because it is a double action doesn't mean it has to have a long pull to it either and that has been proven with the Galloway mods to the trigger system.

A 1+ inch long trigger pull makes this weapon no more safe then a similar sized weapon with a 1/2 or shorter trigger pull.

Another thing is the mag disconnect. A weapon does not have to have a feature that dissables the trigger simply because there is no magazine install in the grip.

Further more, no weapon needs a blade ticking up on top of the rail just to tell a person the weapon is loaded. Each and every weapon should be treated as loaded until the chamber has been properly checked.

I bought the LC9 thinking it would be a nice carry weapon. After owning it for awhile, I have come to the conclusion that it is nothing more then a lawyered up POS mess. Also a person should not have to run a 1000 rounds through a weapon before it starts to behave. That gets spendy and takes time. Save your money and time and get something that doesn't need 100s to a 1000 rounds run through it before it starts to behave properly.

Wow ... first of all I did not run 1000 rounds through my LC9 before it behaved , it works just fine. I shot it because I enjoyed it. I shoot a lot of round through all my guns ..You may not understand getting to know your weapon . The LC9 is a very good carry weapon , if you know how to shoot it correctly.
Most people don't have a problem with the trigger. It may not need a long trigger pull but it has one so get over it.
The mag disconnect and the chamber indicate don't have a problem with it .. You have bashed the fine weapon enough, Thank you for your view... if you want a shield or a Sig go get one there also fine weapons. But you may not like them either .

Just put 200 rounds through it and WOW what a fun little gun. Quite a bark! I had no accuracy issues (pretty good for a first-time shooter), no FTE or FTF. Flawless.

Felt solid and the trigger was smooth as could be. Long trigger doesn't bother me because I don't know better...

How often do I clean it? After each outing?

I'm hooked.

Glad you like it . I clean mine after each trip to the range .
Good Luck and Be safe !!
