send it to nutinfancy.....LOL
Dude you totally got to get one of these ruger LC9's, the ergonomics are totally ergonamical in a tactiacal way, the price is excellent and the weight is around 17oz which it easy to pack in my tactical underwear, you should totally go buy one like right now dudes, you won't be bummed and tell them nutinfancy sent you dude.
well that wraps up this 2 hour video later dudes......
I am curious how the recoil is on the LC9. I had a Kel-tek PF9 and loved the light weight and the fact that it was easily concealed. The thing I didn't like was the fact that recoil sucked. It was harder to get follow up shots. I ended up selling it and bought another Ruger SP101. I already had one with the hammer and got one without the hammer so it wouldn't snag on stuff when I drew it. It is my new favorite revolver to carry.

Yeah, I have actually been wanting to get a SP101, but in the back of my head I feel that I should get a compact 9MM for carry--I've got my reasons, but let's just avoid that for this argument.
What I did notice from hikock's video was that the recoil on the 9MM looks almost higher than what I've seen people get with the SP101 in .357.
Look really nice otherwise, I might get it over the SP101 just to try it out and see if I don't like it.

Hickok45 has a PF9 Vs. LC9 video up. You can kind of see for yourself the recoil difference.
Hickok is an above average shooter. I've watched others handle the LC9 and they show a lot of recoil. The PF9 and the LC9 are very similar guns.
