While not exactly the same, I did get the LC9s Pro -- and now I see that as of today, through the end of the year, Ruger is offering a $100 trade-up deal when you bring your old LC9 to your FFL.

I love my LC-9s... it's become the primary in my EDC lineup, and my poor Walther PPS is feeling put-upon.

I was more curious about the comparison between the LC9 and the LC9s, not necessarily the Pro variety, as the LC9 trigger caused this to collect dust in my safe. Sounds like you're liking it! Thanks! In bound PM on the link to order the Pro -- after all, who likes the magazine disconnect, another possible point of failure?!?

Thanks, Taypo! It's one of the rare incidents where you can see the hand of G-d operating in the open, not obfuscated, no longer concealing the action he takes, which is often through "natural" means.

We are beyond blessed and our cardiologists risked everything in their own careers to put the care for our patient first and make sure we had the cutting edge experts nationally to take care of him. On Thanksgiving Day, a mere three weeks after the open heart repairs we were able to bring him home -- a Thanksgiving Day indeed, beyond our wildest wishes and he could meet his brother, aunts and uncles, grand-parents, and cousins. Truly miraculous, as we were originally told to wait until 3kg, weeks and weeks outside the successful window for these repairs and then also avoided what locally was expected to be a 3 plus month CICU recovery time. There were at least 15 independent failure points along the way and at each juncture the "random" events (no such things, of course) went all in our favor.

Of course we are blessed with his incredible health, most important of all. But I also truly feel that my wife, family, and I were blessed to witness a true, undeniable miracle firsthand. These may happen all of the time around us, but we've been desensitized to recognize their occurrences. This, however, was a wake up call.

Looking for feedback from the LC9s Pro owners on the board, please! A few years ago I picked up a LC9 and even with some of the Galloway updates, it just sits in the safe. Too poor a trigger and the other guns in my edc rotation don't have external thumb safeties or mag disconnects. I've got a smaller frame (although over the years getting wider), so I like pocket guns as my edc; I've been generally carrying a Springfield XDS in 45 or, when I really need to hide something, a Kahr P380. Saw a LC9s Pro for $298 and figured it was worthwhile to revisit. After searching prior posts, a few folks seem to have shot the new(er) LC9s and only one person said they had it, so was looking for some broader input if available.

On an unrelated note, it's great to be on the forum again! I'm an infrequent poster but used to be a daily reader for several years since signing up. This past year our youngest son was born with a complex congenital heart defect (surprisingly not detected in utero) and life was turned upside down for a while. We're very blessed and we thank G-d he's had truly a miraculous recovery after being sent across country for repairs his first week. Needless to say, I've missed the community and following all the banter on here!
