I have carried a LC9s as my EDC for the last 5-6 years. Long but light trigger pull. very accurate. Reasonable recoil. Never had a malfunction during firing. Occasionally when dropping the slide after inserting a new magazine I would have a round nose down. Usually pulling the slide back and letting it fall again fixed the problem. Did not have that issue until about 3 years in. Never an issue when firing though. Probably ought to clean the mags, I suspect that is the issue since I have never done it....

I will say the LC9s is a PITA to clean though with the take down pin inside the frame. Had to use the magazine base plate to get the pin door open. Then lined up the slide and used a tooth pick from the other side to push it out.

with the 9rnd magazine, the rounds did NOT want to come out by hand for some reason. But they stripped out in the gun no problem.

In my extended experience the LC9s is a great little EDC gun and a reasonable range gun.
