About the Cartridge

This cartridge was introduced along with the Luger semi-automatic pistol. The pistol and cartridge was first adopted by the German Navy in 1904 and then by the German Army in 1908. This cartridge has since been adopted by the military of practically every non-Communist power. It has become the most popular and widely-used handgun cartridge in the world. Performance wise, the 9 mm cartridge has somewhat more power than the .38 Special but falls well short of the .357 Magnum.

Great carry gun & accurate too.
By gma on 20 Sep 2021
I am 90 & still carry & shoot handguns. I carry this gun because at my age I can rack & load the mag ok & for everything this gun has & it's light weight & great trigger & accuracy I would give it 5 stars. My LC9s is very accurate & I have a laser on it. I love lasers & they work great. I have had & traded 3 regular Shields because I could not rack or load them without an Uplula & racking tool.. I also have the S&W EZ 9 & it is super..

Easy to carry

Mine shoots well. I hit bullseyes @ 7 yards all day. Owned it four years, and can carry / conceal easily with it. I use the mags with the ''pinky extension "", and + P high quality ammo. Fun gun

good E.D.C.

Nice size for conceal carry, and plenty of stopping power. Have to practice with it to be accurate with it. Practice with the same ammo you are going to carry.

Needs work.

This handgun is nice sized, but has poor accuracy. I have the LCP II also and I can aim that better which is not good since the LCP II is smaller. I stopped carrying this pistol due to accuracy issues.
