Is it the LC9 trigger? I shot an LC9 years ago that a friend bought brand new. It had a laser on it, but even with that I couldn't get the rounds to group at 7 yards. None of us could. I swore I'd never buy one, but then I bought a well used one from rantingredneck and he let me shoot it before buying. Trigger was great - totally different that the one I'd tried before. Tried to get my wife to carry it, but it ended up becoming my EDC. RR said he had put thousands of rounds thru it, which I think helped the trigger. Then I removed the mag disconnect and fixed a factory "interference" issue with the firing pin block, and it got even better. I had considered putting the Galloway trigger goodies in it, but have not felt the need to.

I put the Galloway shorter stroke trigger bar and lower power hammer spring in the little brother, LC380, and if it had been a 9mm, I wouldn't have ever traded to the Lc9s pro. That said, I couldn't shoot either one worth a flip, but I sure liked everything else about them.

Think I carry the smallest. 22 lr naa mini revolver. 1.2" barrel. I carry that thing everywhere
I have carried the 1-5/8 barrel 22 mag NAA since 2013. For a while it was my primary, but now it's a BUG. Has the folding holster grip.

My wife carried it while we were camping this spring and was impressed how small and light it is, so she now has a 2-inch NAA 22 mag Black Widow which has better sights than my "plain" version. She also has the folding holster grip. I'm happy that after several years trying to get her to carry, she has now been carrying every day since May.
 
The LC9 trigger wasn't to horrid.....it just jumped around in my hand no matter how hard I gripped it/ held it.....rappid follow up shots were a joke.....
 
Beretta centurion 92d. 18 round mecgar mag. Does me just fine. I kinda gave up on finding a small gun and just work my clothes around a full size.
 
CZ P-01 for me as well. I absolutely love that gun. Nothing fits the hand like a CZ.
 
Been carrying a Sig 227 Carry for some time now and really like its feel. Fits my meat hooks a lot better than some of the other smaller pistols out there.
 
I have 5 that see edc rotation, but the one that see's it most is my year 2000 G23.
Something about this one. We just happen to get along extra-good and I shoot it well.
And I like the 40 S&W so there. :p
 
I alternate when i am not at work between a Glock 19 and a Glock 23 just comfortable for me and i carry them in a desantis intruder IWB holster works great. I always have a light in the left pocket and GIBBS rule #9 always have a knife. At work LCP
 
It all depends on where I'm going . Around my area it's my performance center S&W Shield. If I go to Durham I always carry 2 handguns and spare ammo. Second gun is a S&W model 696 L-frame 5 shot 44 special 3 inch barrel . The Bull City has gone to crap. I even have my RR AR pistol most of the time.
 
Normally I have the XD45 Service in a Chief Jason OWB and a P32 backup in a pocket holster. Right now it's just the P32 until I get healed up and cinch my belt tight again. Not going many places anyway, lol.
 
Right now, it's the G43. Depending on how I'm feeling I may carry the G19, G26, or G21 with G30 as my BUG (usually winter months). Also carry my mouse gun no matter what the carry of the day is.

My buddy from Texas and I were talking the other day and he said, "I've got a wheelbarrow full of Colt 1911s and revolvers and I carry an LC9. How sad is that?" We got to talking about what we carry and why. I've gone from a S&W Model 36, to a Glock 19 and now a Colt Agent. The Glock makes a lot of sense because it works, holds a lot of ammo, and it works. But, there is no pride of ownership in the Glock. Mine looks like yours and yours looks like his, and on and on.
Give me an old S&W or Colt revolver and I'm proud to show it off, scratches, wear, and all.

I tried putting a nice old 2.75" Ruger Six series on you a while back but you were having none of it!
