LC9 recall

[longbow]

Got you to look! Has it been recalled yet? I'm holding off on getting one until the first recall is done.

How does it shoot or not shoot?

Your thoughts?

 

[jamstutz]

I'm getting one as soon as I find one.

Very nice video review... [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeLxP6Kywzk"]here[/ame].

Manual safety and mag disconnect on a DAO gun, and little parts to get lost during disassembly/reassembly. Bleh.

Still, I'm sure they'll sell like mad.

Manual safety and mag disconnect on a DAO gun ...

Deal breakers for me.

Nice title. Yea you got me to look and your gonna have tons of other people with the same thought =P

 

[Kick]

If it has not been recalled yet it will be.... I'd wait a good year before picking one up, let the other suckers be the test dummies and pick yours up when they are working right...

 

[Fireaxes]

Sure, they'll fly off the shelves. I will not likely get one. Wait and see what happens.

I don't think I would like it. We have an LCP, and it fills it's role, but I don't enjoy shooting it, and I don't like the way it breaks down. So I cant imagine that I would rather have this than my FNX-9 or my M&P9c.

Id pass. Seemed extremely similar to my keltec P11. I really see no reason for a mag disconnect though.

 

[rimfire_crazed]

Ugh. Mag disconnects are about the stupidest "safety" invention the lawyers have ever imposed on us. The external safety would likely end up getting me killed - I don't think i could ever train to effectively use a manual safety ever again after switching to and training with exclusively dao guns or DA/SA guns that I never use the safety.

Very good video, thanks for posting. I really can't wait to handle this pistol.

What is it with the allure of Ruger labeled weapons?

I've shot a few. P90, P89, MkIII, 10/22, probably a couple others that don't come to mind. They were all well built, reliable shooting firearms. I'd expect nothing less.

Ruger has some very good things out there, but I don't know if I'd consider them very great.

Some I hear go gaga over Ruger products just as glockies do Glocks. Isn't this a design not of their own?

In this day and age, finding something well built and reliable at an affordable price is a pretty amazing feat. That's the attraction of both Ruger and Glock handguns for me.

...And while the LC-9 may be a reworked, improved Kel-Tec PF9 just as the LCP is a reworked, improved P3AT, I think the improvements have some merit. Most reviewers are pretty impressed with the trigger having a smooth pull and a shorter reset--things that are important to me. It's like "build a better mousetrap and the world will beat a path to your door."

I'm not a big fan of magazine disconnects, frame-mounted safeties, or loaded chamber indicators, and I despise internal locking mechanisms, but I'll try the LC-9 with an open mind and if Ruger has made something that works well even with all of these legal encumbrances, so much the better. If not--the Kel-Tec PF9 is still there to choose.

If they had managed to stuff a 9mm into a package the size of an LCP, I would have been very impressed.

As is, I am not buying one of these.

You dirty rotten. I was all excited and laughing my butt off over here.

 

[jffyg]

That was funny....had me saying no way, he must be kidding right until the screen changed...I hope it does not really happen!

+100

Exactly why I have bought Ruger firearms in the past and why I always welcome something new from them.

I would REALLY welcome something new from them that isn't stolen (copied) from someone else. The LCR was a good'un.

I am personally going to pass on this one. The safety is poorly placed, undersized, and not easy to manipulate. Also as it was designed as a carry gun the magazine safety it is equipped with is an absolute no go for me. I'll keep my eyes peeled for the new Kahr CM9 (The PM9's less expensive counter part) for an ultra compact 9mm. Heck after handling this gun, and seeing the size of it, I'd opt for a CW9 or P9 as well. Much slimmer and better feel to me than the Ruger. Needless to say i was disappointed in the LC9 after the what seemed like a great ad campaign to hype it up. The overall feedback from the last gun show pretty much confirmed my take on the firearm.

 

[Kveldulf]

I personally am fine with the frame-mounted safety, which a lot of people don't seem to like for one reason or another. If I'm contemplating putting it in my pocket, I want it to have one. Obviously, though, this means constantly practicing with the safety on drawing and shooting.
