Ruger LC9 upgrades

[graycrait]

Just to check it out alongside the Galloway Precision Trigger bar and hammer work I already have installed in my LC9 I ordered the RTK trigger (black one) to see how well the trigger can be tuned.

I also ordered the 20lb spring kit to see how that might help muzzle flip. I also added a Hogue Jr. over grip and ground down the finger hump. Right now it is a nice size flat OWB carry pistol. In the Tagua slide holster it is much more thin feeling than a Glock 26, plus the LC9 has a thumb safety (for what that is worth) as well as a prominent but not obtrusive LCI. If the RTK trigger improves the already nice Galloway Precision trigger bar and hammer work then I may dub the "Harringtonized" Ruger LC9 with laser one of the best everyman's 'save yo ass' 9mm pistols. I still think the S&W M&P Shield may be the everyman's carry gun to beat but it looks like it will be several years before S&W meets the demand for their nice little single stack 9mm.

Your quite right about the LC9 being a different pistol with the Galloway Precision Trigger bar, RTK trigger and a spring kit. Nice is an understatement.

Question on the LC9 ... held a couple today in the store. Definitely comfortable to hold. However with the slide locked back I was unable to release the slide with just my thumb... it required me to pull up my other hand to slightly push back on the slide before it would release.


Is this the design of this gun?

My other previous handguns have been a Beretta 92F, Browning BDA-380 and Ruger LCP... on each of these I could release the slide lock with just my thumb on each of these. I also held a PF9 today and was able to release its slide with ease.
