Yup nice little backup guns. Mine has real sights and a colored trigger that is as nice a trigger as I've seen. It is actually quite accurate and shootable.

ive got 2 of the first gens. triggers arent great but in all the rounds shot through them even with cast bullets i dont recall either having a single issue. had an lcpII. it was dead reliable to and had a more comfortable grip and a much better trigger but my nephew stole it from me. i carry one in my jacket pocket and the other in a ankle holster when i take the dog for a walk in the wood in case we run across wolves that want to eat him

My son got one of the early LCP 9mm's when they first come out. Was the worst, and heaviest triggers I ever felt on a pistol. That kind of turned me off on LCP's.

Yeah, I had one of those too, the LC9.  Sold it and replaced it with the EC9.  Much better trigger and almost a hundred dollars less new price.

wife's lc9 has a fairly light but long trigger pull. she handles it fine so i would guess any man could master it with practice. thats the problem. most just dont shoot at all let alone put in thousands of rounds to master the gun their and their family's life depends on

The trigger pull was not particularly heavy, but it was VERY long and the reset was almost as bad.  If I have to use it in a bad situation, I don't want to shoot it like I'm at the slow fire target range.

i guess years of shooting my clark model 10i in competition makes long pulls a breeze for me. matter of fact i had a para double action 1911 that i wish i would have kept. my way of thinking is for a casual (not casull ;)) shooter a long trigger pull is way better than something like a 1911 that under pressure is more prone to accidental discharges. but its just my opinion and honestly ill go back to practice. thousands of rounds getting familiar with a gun makes about any platform work. i detest safetys and some wont buy a gun without one and probably shouldnt. even my wife insisted on a safety after me beating my head against the wall trying to convince her guns dont go bang till you pull the trigger. many bash glock triggers or for that matter M&P's and most black guns and think they need a 3lb trigger that breaks like glass to hit a man at 10 yards and thats what were talking. im not shooting ppc or bullseye with a glock or lc9. i defending my self. that said i have shot glocks in ppc just to play. hell i even did one match shooting my 454 alaskan da with full power loads and even took home a 3rd place trophy with it that day. after 100s of thousands of rounds out of handguns i can make any gun i pick up do better than most. because most dont see a thousand rounds out of a gun in their lifetime. trigger pull on a gun is way down the list of must haves that start with rock solid reliability and her lc9 will shoot some pop guns loads my glocks choke on. i hate to admit that because i bleed glock and for the most part was never a fan of ruger black guns. that said lc9s and lcp's are as reliable as anything at any price. ill say the same about smith shields. ive got 6 of them and dont recall any of them that gave me a single problem.
