Any reason this would not be a good idea? Just curious. Doesn't seem to be too many so wondering if there would be any issues. Would be great for the extra grip plus one more round.

It's a great idea. I own one of those little pistols and the extra grip length would be a welcome addition. I'm going to order one or a few, thanks for the link.

I have a grip extension for my glock 27. I like it, makes it more comfortable to shoot (place for your little finger), plus adds an extra round. I doubt you'll be disappointed.

I got it today. At first I thought I was mistaken about the add and just got an extension but it does allow another round. I think it looks a little odd but other than that it feels good and I have an extra round now too. I will get use to the look I guess. Not about looks really but I'm a girl... Lol

Would be interested to get your impressions on how it changes handling while firing.

I definitely want one of those. Ruger is currently my favorite gun manufacturer.

I love it!! The range I go to now has an LC9 to rent, thought I might check that out next time.

I probably should have read the description better. It is an extender not a mag and it does not come with a longer spring so I have some concerns about the reliability with the lighter spring load. I haven't tried mine yet so if you think you are a buyer this is something to think about.

I've started packing my LC9 in a holster rather than pocket carrying my LCP. Mainly because the holster allows quicker access. Pocket carry is nice but it's takes too much time to retrieve the LCP from my there.

Yes, I was disappointed in that as well. At first I thought I was wrong but it does take another round. Will have to go the range to see how it works. That makes me nervous...

Thx! I holster carry my LCP or keep it in my purse depending on what I am wearing. Clothing isn't as much of a concern for guys though.

I carry a 3AT or LCP all the time in a Bulldog holster that looks like a cellphone case. No one ever pays any attention to me. This is the information about them at this link.

http://www.cabelas.com/assets/images/catalog/brandlogo/bulldog.gif Bulldog Cell Phone Concealed-Carry Holster



It looks like a cell phone/PDA case, but discreetly conceals a handgun. This innovative quick draw concealed-carry holster is an inconspicuous way to carry a small semiautomatic pistol. Specifically designed for the Ruger LCP, Keltec 3AT, Taurus TCP and similar sized .380 or smaller pistols with standard single-stack magazines. The unique grip up pistol placement combined with the two ambidextrous bottom holes provide the quick draw feature. Simply insert one finger through the front bottom hole causing the pistol to rotate out in a ready to fire position. Rugged nylon construction with magnetic snap closure.

I need to get that extension. Here's my "Gym Rig" I keep in my cargo shorts when working out late at night at the 24/7 gym (the bad part of town).

Crimson Trace sells them for the LCP and they came out with a version for the LCR not too long ago. I got the CT for my SIL last Christmas. She carries the LCR (.357) since she works nights away from home as a nurse at a hospital. The laser is just an additional "intimidation" factor.
