I'm old school. I like to know visually. Yeah, yeah - loaded chamber indicators, firing pin indicators . . . My eyes suck.

I have always preferred hammer fire in revolvers and semi-auto pistols. Except for my CCW when I moved from the Ruger LC9 to the LC9s...a great improvement in my accuracy.

That makes sense, the dao pull on the LC9 was wretched. Don't know why they did that. The hammer was internal, or at least spurless so not so useful anyway.

Looks like they are phasing the LC9 out for the LC9s.

The device can be as complicated as you want to make it......me, I don't multi-task that well.
