Just to be clear...
I didn't drop test a loaded firearm!
Although Sturm Ruger has already done extensive testing to make sure that the LC9 won't "go off" when dropped, I don't like to test fate. Be assured that I did NOT have a round in the chamber when I conducted my test. I only had rounds in the magazine.
I wanted to see if the magazine might be released in a drop situation, and to do so, I wanted it to be filled since the weight of the magazine is a big factor on whether the mag may or may not disengage during a drop.
My apologies for not mentioning that fact.
