    Just bought a new Ruger LC9 today. Brought it home,cleaned it thoroughly, loaded it up and was really impressed with the first magazine of FMJ's. Accuracy was good, trigger is good, no malfunctions. Second magazine was another story. Every other round was a misfire, had to cycle the slide and reset the hammer then usually the round would fire. Examined the spent brass and discovered that the primers were not dented as they should be but appeared to flow back into the firing pin dent. Also discovered shards of brass plugging the firing pin hole. Ran a mag full of the same ammo thru a S&W with no malfunctions and none of the misshapen primers. Ammo problem or handgun problem?

    Wolfe doesn't show any for the LC9, only for the LCP.
    You might call them at 800-545-0077 and ask.

    Rong,

    Galloway Precision used to offer modified hammers & trigger bars, but it appears that they only modify your existing parts now. I purchased the hammer & trigger bar a while ago. it made a great difference in the trigger pull.

    I liked having the new parts as my original hammer & bar are not modified & I can go back to factory condition if I want to.

    They are also selling reduced power springs and other parts on their web site.

    Galloway web site: http://gallowayprecision.com/ruger-performance/lc9-performance-parts/

    The quality seems to be very good.

    I can't tell from their website whether
    they want new mail-ins or they're
    in a state of confusion with current orders
    and their move.

    Loose the LC-9 like I did, and get a S&W Shield. Truthfully, If I had been able to put my hands on the Shield, before I purchased the LC-9, it all would have been different.

    I do believe youhave to send in your trigger bar and hammer for mod.

    Rong,

    I got my LC-9 long before the Shield made it to dealer's shelves. While it is a nice gun, the Shield is just a tad bigger, much more ergonomic to me, and the trigger blows away the LC-9 out of the box.

    Too long a trigger pull .
    I have both SR9C and LC9-
    Winter and summer carry.
    I want them (trigger wise) to be
    similar.
    I can get use to the long pull but
    it takes a while to get that muscle
    memory back.

    They will never be similar. They use two totally different types of triggers. If you want similar sell the LC9 and get a Springfield XD/s in 9mm or .45acp and you will have similar triggers and the the XD/s is close to LC9 size.

    I don't know what I'm going to do
    but I want a single stack 9mm compact
    for Summer use as I carry everywhere.

    Just a little FYI...The Shield, to me, because of the better ergonomics, is way more shootable, and it id definately more accurate than the LC-9. I prized my LC-9, as it was a TALO limited edition with a scroll engraved, Nickle plated slide, with the golden Ruger emblem on the right side. As for all of my carry guns, I even got a $135.00 Alessi, CQC-S holster for it.
