I have an LC9s, the slightly more expensive version of the EC9. It's very reliable and very concealable. The trigger is among the best striker fired pistols available. It is, however, not fun to shoot. The grip is extremely narrow, and for that reason it is painful for me to shoot the pistol. I have heard from several others that have had similar experiences.

You may or may not find it painful to fire. We all have different hand sizes and shapes as well as different pain tolerances. I put a Hogue handall grip on mine in the hopes of making it more comfortable to shoot. It still causes me pain to shoot it. No other 9mm is painful for me to shoot. Only the little Ruger.

You may find it an acceptable tradeoff - a pistol that conceals easily, but is painful to shoot. At times I have as well. Really the only way to find out is to shoot one. I've thought about selling mine, but they are so cheap now that used ones aren't worth much at all. So I guess I'll keep it - at least for now.
