I'd recommend staying away from an LC-9 unless you're going with the striker trigger'ed LC-9s or LC-9sPro, both of which get away from the original's heavy and long trigger pull.
My primary CC right now is an LC-9s with a Viridian R5 Reactor green laser on the front trigger guard. The Reactor series of lasers are new, and are able to control the laser's on/off cycle through the use of a holster mounted magnet, so that when you holster the gun, the laser goes darl. But, upon drawing the gun from the holster, your laser is on, and pointing where the bullet is going to go if you pull the trigger.
I wasn't too convinced about that system at first. The LC-9s came with a pocket holster, which I didn't use much as I wanted it as an IWB rig, so I got a holster that did not have the integral magnet in it, which promptly helped to run the batteries down. Fast forward to last Spring when I bought a Comp-Tac Infidel holster with the magnet pre-installed, and my opinion has swung 180 degrees. I hardly wear anything else, these days.
I haven't had the opportunity to fondle or shoot the Curve, yet, but have no doubt it probably is OK. But I do know the LC-9s with R5 Reactor combo in a magnet equipped holster, is very comfortable, and I know I need not worry about excessive battery drain if I forget to turn the laser off.
