left handed story... I have a friend that is a very talented amateur pistolsmith....this was several years ago....3 USMC   C-130 pilots came into the shop.. all had privately purchased Springfield P9s, and one was left handed.... he was not able to drop the hammer shooting his pistol left handed, but it worked flawlessly right handed... the trigger applied just enough pressure that the sear block would not release the hammer... we shimmed the sear block so that it would not move, and solved the problem... it took a little head scratching to figure it out...

Galloway has some parts to improve the Ruger LC9.
Youmight check with them. They have a hotter striker for the SR9c.

I'm surprised at how easy shooting this little LC9 is.
I've had a Kahr CW9, Taurus 85, Kel-Tec P-11, and a J-Frame and they all were "un-fun" to shoot, for me, even with lighter loads. I haven't tried it with the flat base on the mag but it didn't bother me at all as it was, (when it shot)..
I busted my left wrist/arm up pretty badly about 7 years ago and never did get full range of motion back. Trying to get change back at a drive-thru looks like I'm getting twisted out of my seat.
I was more than half expecting this to be something I wouldn't be able to figure out for a left handed BUG, but it was great..
I think we'll be very happy together...

Got the new slide Tuesday. Haven't taken it out yet but that was quick. Just making that note. Seems Ruger is as good as they say. I will note that I loaded the thing to drop in my pocket today (yard sales) and it hung up/ftf.. I don't know yet.

Work it to smooth out the burrs and rough edges.
In a production shop you will not get rid of all of them since the operator can only spend limited time per part.
Most parts are made with an area or 2 where machining may raise a small burr, or the tooling will leave some roughness but it is left to be worn down through use.

Got it out Sunday evening after cleaning up the slide and it ran Lawman, S&B and GDHP, all just fine.
It's an accurate little gun! Most of what I've done has been left/one handed, just because I need to discipline myself to be able to do it effectively, but right/two handed will chew up the inside of a painted CD outline on some craft paper like nobodys business..
I'm sure it's just me but it does seem a little more snappy than it did before, (but that may have something to do with it not firing the projectile before too..  )
I got a new, (for a total of two) magazine in the mail today. Once I run a few hundred through it, having had no issues so far, it gets to be my official pocket/bug gun.. Got the holster for it today too..
I went with a DeSantis "Super Fly"... Not much of a name for anybody who lived through the 70s.. It's gonna crowd the wallet but it'll do till I figure out something I like better..
What I really want is button holes in the holster and two buttons on the inside of the pants behind the pocket, or thereabouts..
