A lot of guns are safe to use without a safety because of long trigger travel and eight pounds or more of force required. You have to mean it to discharge the weapon. On some of these, though, it takes almost nothing to discharge.

I experimented with that LC9 and the light trigger combined with the reset was eye opening. They make a pro version without a safety and to me that's a bad idea for a gun meant to carry.

I'm giving serious thought to updating my mini. I just don't look forward to rebuilding MacPorts and all that other stuff.

When sidekick expressed interest, I made her carry around a unloaded gun until it became second nature to.

  • Never touch the trigger.
  • Always make sure the barrel is pointed in a safe direction
  • Always press check it when picking it up.

And so on. Those behaviors have to become autonomic - like breathing. You shouldn't have to think about them.They should just happen.

Prior post is why I am dead set against the whole constitutional carry thing.

It makes as much sense as, "This is America and if you want to drive a semi, you shouldn't have to get a commercial license."

You know I am right. Don't argue with me.

Review no one here will find useful.

The Ruger LC9s has a very good but light trigger. If you insist on carrying one, do not be a macho idiot and refuse to utilize the safety. Just don't. Spare me the "I know what I am doing" nonsense. People like you are why the term "Glock foot", exists.

Okay. Two pistols cleaned and oiled. Warm coffee sloshing around inside of me. What next?

I have a espresso ground that sounds heavenly right about now.

Otherwise. I don't find that man a laughing matter.
