Howabusa Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 I have decided to buy the Ruger LC9 as my carry gun. The question I have is this, Sportsmans Den has the LC9 on sale for $319 & Buckeye Outdoors has the LC9 LM for $369. Is the Laser Max worth the extra $50 or not?

Bad324 Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 I had a crimson trace LCP and held out to get the laser because I thought I needed it and well turns out I never used it so if you ask me, no its not really worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad324 Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 wouldn't it make it easier to hit your target?i assumed the same thing, then I got one and it doesn't really make it any easier if you're a shitty shot or don't have steady hands to begin with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howabusa Posted December 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Yes. Does not have the laser though.OK, An LC9, 1 mag with the flat bottom plate on the mag? When & where can we get together, Mike? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) So, Laser is not worth the $50 extra?I would argue that a laser on a CHL is a bad thing even if free.You will become dependent on it because you will use it at the range and will not learn how to quickly and properly acquire the target through the sights. And then when you are fighting for your life it won't be on, it will malfunction, or the battery will die and so will you.

magley64 Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 If I thought this was a legitimate question and not troll food, I would answer.I'll be the first to admit, I don't know shit about shooting. Just the expectation is that if you put that red dot on something, the bullet would go there...Kinda like a laser level, line up the bubbles, flip the switch and you get a straight flat line.

I think the laser could be beneficial in certain circumstances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2talltim Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 I would get the lazer to have to play around with but i would not use it to carry, one less thing to think about in a bad situation. When you need to draw down on someone you dont need the distraction of making the lazer turn on and or looking for a red dot. But i would buy it with the gun because if you want one later they are closer to $100. But if carry is 100% if the gun use, save the $50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine it would be the same in most outdoor/daytime scenarios. That and the light doesnt always activate.

walther_gsp Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Lasers are for no low shooting. They are not there to improve marksmanship.The question to ask is "will this work better for me in low light than a set of night sights?".

buildit Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Is the LC9 pocket carryable?How deep are your pockets? In a pinch I've done it but prefer the gun holstered IWB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admittedly, I know its not the best option however I found it to be the most comfortable so I'm trying to see if a pocket 9mm can be had Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 I only pocket carry as I see it being the best option. The LC9 doesn't fit a jeans pocket well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madcat6183 Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Thats because Maxpower wears tight rolled jeans, you know the new "skinny" fag jeans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cdubyah Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 I only pocket carry as I see it being the best option. The LC9 doesn't fit a jeans pocket well.I bet I could pocket it in a pair of my jeans. Because for some reason manufacturers think fat guys need space to hide dinner rolls and what not in the pockets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
