Ruger LC9

When I went to buy my first gun this January, I had just received my LTC-A unrestricted just an hour before. I was at Four Seasons buying my SR9c and they said my LTC was not valid. I told them it was and I just got it. I had to call my PD and ask them what happened and after an hour of waiting, they said it had not been activated yet. I was pissed but they did activate it and I got my nice Ruger.
The LC9 is a great 9mm, but I found the trigger to be way too long and did not feel like getting a trigger job done. People get the trigger job and love the gun. It is reliable and very concealable. It's a Ruger so you can count on it being a great firearm. Have fun with it.
Good guns. A little jerky for my taste, but it's my BUG or pocket unit. Great in cargo pants, top pocket. No printing at all. Get the pinky extension on the mag though. I find the gun to be barely usable without it.

I had one but sold it due to the loooong trigger pull. I liked it otherwise for it's size and weight, a good tradeoff for concealed carry. I have heard good things about getting the trigger pull shortened with a custom trigger job, but I decided on something else in 9mm instead.
I have one and like it. I sent my hammer and trigger bar off to Galloway for modifications. It makes a big difference in the length of the trigger pull. I shot a few hundred rounds before the mods, and was pretty accurate with it, and a couple of hundred after the mods. My teenage kids said they hated shooting it before, but they are much better with it after.
I also removed the magazine interlock when I first got it. It's easy to do, there are some good youtube videos to show you how.
I actually shoot mine better without the pinky extension. I carry it with the flat floorplate, and keep a spare magazine with the pinky extension in my pocket, but I haven't found that the extension helps my shooting at all.
I think it's a good gun, especially for the money. I got mine when it was on sale for $329, and I just couldn't justify the added cost for a Kahr, which I really wanted.
Oh, and I get delayed about 75% of the time that I buy a gun. I expect it now, so if it doesn't happen I feel like I won a prize.
Good luck

I did put a Laserlyte side-mounted laser on mine. I had to wait for a cloudy day to be able to get it zeroed at the outdoor range. It doesn't change the weight, grip, or concealability of the gun, and I figured it was better to have it and not need it.
I've gotten delayed ever time that I've purshased a firearm. I've had my class A ltc since 2004! I just picked up an LC9 from fourseasons last week. I havent been to the range yet. I'm trying to sell the laser max that came with it if anyone is interested?
Delayed, cant you get a federal pin number that is supposed to help with this. Also useing your social on the form any help. My gut feeling is Delay= We here at atf just really dont want to deal right now.....we are putting to gether a lunch order ?
