Several weeks ago I pulled the LC9 out of the safe to go play at the range. Once there I pulled the trigger, and click no bang, chambered another round, and the same thing. Picked up both rounds, and no dent in the primer. Unloaded an striped the gun down but couldn't see anything wrong other than the click from firing sounded a little weak. Called Ruger an was sent a mailing slip, RMA # an shipped her off. One week later I got the gun back, an was told some springs were replaced, an the gun was fired, and all functioned fine. Went to the range yesterday, and the same thing happened again with the same sick sounding click, and nothing. So its off to Ruger again. I hope they get it right this time, cause if not they are going to have to make this right. Besides my LCP-II, this is my gun for when I just can't carry my G-19. I don't know but I might have to go with Glock's little single stack 9MM.
I gotta say, much to the chagrin of men all around me, I love my Glocks. I rather like my 43.

The 43 is a great little gun. I've got that and a Kahr CM9. While on paper the Kahr seems significantly smaller, in reality the G43 is no harder to carry; and shoots way better. It's also heavily supported in the aftermarket already.
You are all wrong - go M&P Shield. 
I carry a Ruger LC9s Pro. Never a hiccup. Sorry yours is acting up.
You are all wrong - go M&P Shield.
The Shield is a fine pistol, but sadly, it seems to have fallen into the "budget gun" category. I had one, and bought a Glock 43 too. Still have the Glock. No...seriously, considering that S&W is giving a $75 rebate on the Shield right now, that's a heck of a deal. (If you like budget guns that is, like mugsy does).
Hope Ruger gets it right this time.
Man that sucks. It dont take much stuff like that for me to loose faith in a carry gun and get rid of it.
