I'll get something once I come back from vacation this year, not like I have to have one now, I do have a few around, it's just a whim.

An LC9S or EC9S is worlds above that LC9, since they went to striker fired. They even have the LC9S Pro if you for some reason don't want a safety.
They use the same mags so the ones you already have will fit.
The EC9S is the budget version with the sights machined into the slide instead of dovetailed in, they run about $220 or so.

I liked all the compact 1911 variants. I thought the combat commander was sweet , it took bog standard 1911 mags as well but we cant have short barreled handguns here anymore.

Almost done with this one, I need a new mag, Buffer and bolt handle. That trigger assy was a real headache to get back in, but it cycles all right now, polished the ramp and the bolt, took every llittle part out, checked it, clean it, oiled it and put it back together.

You'll have to cut out an outline of "Top" in plywood and paint it up and make a 3D

logo.

Someone handy with a scroll saw could do it pretty easily.

Oh heck that's a good idea.

. Barrel is a bit worn inside but still usable, it's made out of cheap metal, the whole gun is cheap but it has become a collector's item and they are selling for more than four times their original cost. A few are listed at Gun Broker.
