I finally got a chance to get an LC-9 in my hands yesterday. It seems well built as all Ruger's are, but I just could not buy one. The idea of a pocket size 9mm that would be easy to conceal during the hottest summer days I do like, but I think I will just get a good IWB holster for my Hi-power and have twice the capacity. I guess I am just old fashioned because I still prefer the feel of a metal frame than the composite ones.
