This is kinda interesting... This guy's LC9 chokes down because of some loose primer fragments. Thats a "one in a million", but if it happened in a gun fight it would be bad news.

LC9 Review

Via Haus of Guns

They've got a great write up with vid and pics.

It’s not perfect in our opinion, but it is an improvement. Due to it’s weight (almost 2x the LCP), the LC9 is more of a pleasure to shoot with standard 115 grain range ammo, and while we didn’t fire self defense rounds through it, we feel comfortable saying the same would be true regardless of ammo. The sights are a MAJOR improvement but we were disappointed to see that even from a solid bench rest the LC9 doesn’t reveal much better accuracy at 20 feet and 45 feet than the LCP in 380 Auto did at just 9.6 oz. While the accuracy wasn’t that of a target pistol, a lot of satisfaction relies in the fact that in a couple hundred rounds fired with breaks just to reload the single magazine that comes with the gun, we had no misfeeds, failures to feed or eject from all 3 ammo types we tried.

Shelley Rae covers the LC9

Over on Gun Nuts, Shelley talks about her impressions of the LC9 that they recently started carrying at the rental counter of the gun shop she is at.

Even though it did better than I thought it would the gun was was still a beast to shoot

Ruger LC9 Review

From The Truth About Guns

RATINGS (out of five)
Style * * * * *
Black goes with everything; Ruger’s house style gets even more suave and sophisticated.
Ergonomics * * * *
Slim fits, and the pinkie extension makes all the difference. Star withheld for overly aggressive checkering on the front of the grip.
Ergonomics Firing * * *
This is not the range toy you’re looking for. Still, not too punishing to practice. Highest quality ammo (e.g. Wilson Combat) helps reduce felt recoil.
Reliability * * * * *
Fired everything fed without complaint.
Customize this * * * * *
Crimson Trace makes a clever snout-mounted laser. What else do you need?
Overall Rating * * * * 1/2
Drop the slide-mounted safety already.
