Sadly, my experience with the LC9 was disappointing. I purchased mine brand new from Bud's and as usual, cleaned it thoroughly upon receipt and carried it to the range. I was excited by the Press on that weapon and had purchased a IWB holster for it, extra mag and mag holder in anticipation of it immediately becoming my EDC. At the range, I incurred a host of problems before every squeezing off the first round. Fail to feed from a full magazine for starters. Then fail to extract, etc... it would run a couple rounds, then hiccup again. I tried the new mag with it and everything from WWB to Fiocchi to UMC to Hornady in every grain from 115 thru 147, and it didn't seem to matter. My LC9 had gremlins. Disappointed, I returned it to the LGS that I had had Bud's ship it to, and had them send it to Ruger. Ruger had it about 30 days, and said after thorough inspection and test firing, they could only conclude that possibly a 'lint' ball or some other object caused interference with returning to battery & 'blah-blah-blah'. I was very alarmed that after a thorough cleaning, that a 'lint' ball or some other object cause the weapon to fail to operate. I have my doubts that they were on the up and up with me, and I have had many Ruger's run flawlessly for me, but once I am tainted or concerned about a weapon's reliability for EDC, I get rid of it. That's just MY personal experience. I have seen many run flawlessly, and I have since fired several without issue, and I have it's baby brother, the LCP, in my boot as a backup to my Glock 23, which is now my EDC. I enjoy and trust Ruger products, and would not hesitiate to explore new additions to their offerings, but for me, the LC9 was a no-go.
