If I get one, I will leave the mag disconnect in place.

I took the mag disconnect out of my SR9 after reading in Ruger forums how easy it was to do so. Fast forward a couple years, and my striker was randomly failing to reset. For some unknown reason, I decided to shoot it in a weekly IDPA match instead of my normal carry gun. In 50-60 shots, it failed to fire about 10 times. I called Ruger to send it in, and customer service told me that removing the mag disconnect voided my otherwise lifetime warranty.

Well, I couldn't find the mag disconnect part in my parts box, so a little help from Brownell's and I had the SR9 back in factory configuration. Not a single misfire since.

Now, I have no idea if the LC9s mechanism is similar to the SR9. However, I would not wish to void a lifetime warranty.

Oh, and when I checked the Ruger forums a couple years later when my SR9 started having striker reset problems, low and behold I found out it is now a commonly recognized problem.

I remember reading about the LC9 before physically seeing one, and the premise of a small pocket pistol offered in 9mm instead of .380 ACP was appealing.

So the first time I spotted one in the LGS, I was receptive and interested in the gun and it was one debit card transaction from coming home. However, the first dry fire saw me handing the gun back having lost all interest.

If they have actually fixed the trigger pull, I may revisit the gun with an open mind.
