I, too, got an LC9 early this year--my previous carry was a CZ-82 and before that a 1911. I removed the laser and magazine safety, and hope to upgrade with new trigger when finances allow. Have put about 1,200 rounds down range without a single malfunction using a half dozen ammo brands, which is not bad for a pistol right out of the box. I would suggest not carrying it on a Versa-Carry, had bad experience which I wrote about in previous post. Quite satisfied with LC9 as it's probably last sidearm I will ever buy.
