I scored a Black Friday deal on an LC9 ($330 w/free shipping) and I'm impressed with its compact size. I've been carrying an LCP for the past year or so, and wanted to move up to a 9mm that I could conceal. You know.....baby steps. The LC9 passed a couple of range outings with flying colors (I'm still trying to become more proficient with it and my LCP). LC9 carries well IWB, which is my favorite method of carry, but still have days when the LCP wins the concealment battle. It's nice to have options!
