Would you recommend the LC9 over the PM9?

[hickok45]

@TheBeckaD, No, but I put them very, very close. We'll be posting a side-by-side comparison before too long. You'll learn a lot, I think, but the essence of it is, you can't go wrong with either one. It comes down to which trigger you prefer and whether the fact that the LC9 is just a little bit longer matters to you.

Hey Hickok I'm looking for a good beginner semi auto. I'm 21 and have shot revolvers and rifles since I was 7 but I want a good all around gun for ccw, range days, and LE training. I'm a poor college student studying criminal justice and I was thinking either glock 19, 23 or and xd 3" in 9 or 40. 9 is cheaper for ammo but 40 is better for defense (imho), any ideas?

@robbeddenluck, You can't go wrong with either one.

@hickok45 I just got back from the range today with a buddy of mine. He had a Walther PPS, and I've never given compact designs much thought (I just assumed I wouldn't like them because of the lack of a full grip) and I gotta say I was really impressed.

If you are able to, you should do a review on the PPS by Walther. It is pretty much the same action as a Glock, same take down, same trigger, striker fired, polymer frame, but better ergonomics (in my opinion).

@Alexn1067, I shot mine in the "Glocks Not Allowed" video. We'll be posting a video with it soon.

@robbeddenluck given those choices the glock 19 is the best i feel 9mm is potent

[tccoup355]

LC40 anyone?

I like the Lc9. It took me a while to get use to the long trigger pull on the Lc9. About 3weeks ago I bought 2 extra magazines for my Lc9. I wish the Lc9 came with extra mag from the factory.

I have the sr9c and the lcp and may be I will have to get this too..lol

Nice vid..... I ordered an LC9 for my wife for carry. I cant wait to pick it up. I hear a lot of good things about the gun.

I enjoy these vids because I don't have to worry about him screaming cus words and what not and everybody hearing it lol

I had quite a bit of experience with the LCP yesterday. it didn't have pinky grip on the mag and I hated the fact that i could not shoot this gun because i felt like without my pinky gripping something, my shots would be worthless. I am very interested in the lc9, but i haven't even seen one in person. the lcp felt like there was nothing to grab. does the lc9 have the same exact feel, thin? did the pinky extension make a huge difference in confidence and accuracy for you?

i have the kel-tec pf9 and for the most part i like it. Its just got such a long trigger pull, i was wondering if anyone can tell me how the trigger pull is on a lc9 as compared with a pf9
