Re: Happy Birthday To Me!
it's still pristine. just got it today.
i have a side rant:
i went to Bullet Trap and rented a PPS/9. that's when i knew i wanted to replace my Lc9 with the PPS. but i got NO counter help once i had the cash. seemed as if i was making a nuisance of my self trying to asking questions about it. heck, i'm willing to spend $500+, but couldn't give me the time of day.
went to Cheaper Than Dirt in McKinney. had a guy spend a lot of time chatting about this gun and that gun. even he was confused about the 3 prices: in store $633; online #1 $508; online #2 $499. instead of a high pressure "buy this one here", he said "go home and order it online". that shocked me.
so i did.
couple days later it arrived. transfer and paperwork was painless. great friendly folks. and i got a good deal! woot!
rant over.

Re: Happy Birthday To Me!
Your going to be really happy with that one! It is a well thought out and great carry piece! They have not caught on like they should have because the were close to $700 when they first came out and they had a few problems that have now been fixed. The other thing that happened was companies started coming out with micro 9mms right around the same time so a lot of people skipped over it. Which was stupid! It is very high quality and the perfect weight I think for conceal carry. What a great gun! I have actually thought about getting rid of my glock 27 for one and I am a big Glock lover. Congrats!!!

Re: Happy Birthday To Me!
If someone argued that it was the best single stack polymer 9mm for carry I wouldn't disagree! I am jealous! Makes you wonder why you got the LC9 doesn't it? It really is a step up.
