I also have a Ruger LC9 and have compared them closely. The LC9 does not appear to be as sturdy and well-made as the Shield. The Shield just feels more substantial in my hand. It's a keeper.
That's the first thing I noticed. It beats out many on that basis alone. I think it will have a long service life. IMO
