LCP 9 Versus Glock 27

[Travelador]

Just purchased a LCP 9 and took it to the range with my Glock 27. Well, I can tell you I sure can hit the bullseye with the Glock but the LCP 9 is no where close and the pattern is not nearly as tight. Seems to shoot high and to the left. Guess I must need a lot more practice with the Ruger.

I HAVE TWO LC9'S AND BOTH ARE EXTREMELY ACCURATE!!!I ALSO HAVE A GLOCK 27 AND IT ALSO IS ACCURATE.THE LC9 HAS LESS RECOIL,OF COURSE IT'S 9MM VS.49S&W.I USE BOTH THE LC0 AND GLOCK AS BUG WEAPONS WITH NO PROBLEMS WITH EITHER!! YOU MIGHT WANT TO SIGHT THE WEAPON IN FOR YOURSELF EVEN THOUGH I HAVE HAD NO REASON TO TOUCH THE LC9 SIGHTS ON EITHER WEAPON.PRACTICE IS ALWAYS A GREAT SOLUTION TO MOST PROBLEMS.

Please do not type in all caps, it looks like you are SHOUTING, and is considered rude.

When we first got the lc9, it seemed to shoot low and to the left. We had an experienced shooter test it at a bench and he felt it was a little off too. We wrote to Ruger, they said send it in, it came back, now shoots more accurately. The instructor thought maybe the sights were off and given the better groups we're getting (and we're new to shooting), maybe that really was all it needed. Maybe you could have others shoot it and see if they have the same issue. Just a thought. I happen to really like this gun. It was my husband's but I've co-opted it.

The larger or heavyer guns will almost always shoot better groups, the LC-9 is more of a close up weapon, I have a 27 and a Taurus 709, very close in size to the LC-9, with the Glock I always do well, but with the Taurus I do ok but really have to try a lot harder to get a good group

I've said it before, Ruger should be ashamed of the LC9. It is junk, absolute junk. I've handled a couple of them, and they are poorly designed, sloppily machined, and functionally unreliable. You can practice with it all you want, it'll never, ever, shoot like the Glock. Stick with perfection.

Agreed. Get yourself a Glock.

I own an LC9. And I own a Glock. Saying the Ruger is junk because you like the Glock is kinda ridiculous. I agree that the LC9 is no Glock. But my Glock isn't a Kimber Aegis either. I have about 350 rounds through my LC9 now, it's not failed me once...I pull the trigger, it goes bang. I'm not putting them in the 10 ring at 25 yards, but it'll kill a paper plate at 5 yards every time.

Just like anything else, different isn't necessarily better or worse. Play with it, get used to it, and see how it goes. If you decide you don't like it, dump it. If you do dump it, shoot me a message, maybe we can work out a deal. My wife doesn't care for my Glock and I'm thinking about picking up another LC9 :)

Yeah, the Glock is better than both of those options.
