tips, etc



I did think of two:


1) Depending on your comfort level of course, carry it decocked with safety off. Then in a rush situation you are ready to go out of holster without messing with the safety. If you are not comfortable with that, then do not carry it like that.

2) Practice at the range with the first shot long pull on the trigger. When it is decocked, the first trigger pull is much longer than the rest when it is cocked. You may already be familiar with this at the range. However, once again in a rush situation, you are prepared for the transition. Obviously if you have time to cock the hammer back, then it is not really a rush and no need to worry about it. But I would practice it.


Just two things I have experience with this gun.

Maybe 25 years ago I bought a .380. Real piece of crap. I used a 55 gallon drum for target practice. I could hit it from 100 yards. Not bad for shooting a handgun like that. Most of the time the bullet would break thru the first layer of steel but not the second one and just drop inside. I suppose at 100 yards it would still hurt you plenty if it could hit you.

I just got myself a Ruger LC9 for Xmas.



How do you like the long trigger pull on that? *My SO is considering one now.



I don't mind at all, but I'm used to revolvers.

Also it's only 17.1 oz..

Its a pistol not a rifle range it between 25-50 yards

This thread begs the question: do the "women" of ACF use a funnel to get that much sand in their vagina or do they just slide around the beach like an angry Roomba? -deadcactus-

I know it's a pistol. I wanted to see if I could hit the barrel from that distance.

Just a new FYI,


I put a Pachmayr slip on grip on it and I like it!


and found this cool piece: Beretta PX4 Subcompact XGrip for a few extra rounds.

i never liked Beretta's though...always stuck with Ruger's.

i have a couple personal use ones, and it's my carry weapon at work.
