We keep 2 LC9 in the house mine has the laser mounted under the trigger . Fits perfect in ankle holster.
@Retired_Engineer I wonder if the new pro you speak of has a better trigger pull because these are quite long .
@staylifted: Oh, Yes Sir/Ma'am. The LC9 is a recoil-partially assisted double-action trigger with a hammer. Not too bad once you get used to it. However, Ruger then came out with the LC9s which is striker-fired instead of hammer fired. This reduced both the trigger pull length and a little bit on the force needed. The external dimensions remained the same, but they improved the internal mechanisms. This is a picture of an LC9s.Note that the trigger also was changed to a trigger safety like Glock and many others are using. For some reason, Ruger still retained the tiny safety lever near the back of the slide. I always keep this safety on fire because it is too small to manipulate quickly. They did get rid of the chamber loaded lever on the top of the gun and modified the extractor so that it also functions as a chamber loaded indicator.For the LC9s Pro, they finally got rid of the redundant (and too small) safety lever near the rear of the slide. The trigger safety has become industry-accepted so there is no need for an additional safety, which can accidentally lock your trigger at a critical point. Ruger also eliminated the magazine disconnect in the LC9s Pro. A magazine disconnect means that if you remove the magazine from the gun, but still have a round in the chamber, you cannot fire it until the magazine is reinserted. With the LC9s Pro, you will still be able to fire that last round while retrieving another magazine.The LC9s came out and gun shops stocked up on them due to the high demand. Then shortly afterward, Ruger came out with the LC9s Pro. You can find the LC9s Pro, but many dealers are trying to sell off their stocks of LC9s's before they stock too many LC9s Pros. Note: since the external dimensions remain the same, all holsters/concealed carry devices fit all three models just fine. The magazines are also the same for all three models. Ruger's MSRP for the LC9s Pro is $369, but you should be able to find one for about $310-320.Even after I purchase an LC9s Pro, I plan to keep my original LC9. It's still a fine gun and I keep a few guns stashed around the house.
