Personally, I'm not a fan as its painful to practice with, but given that it add a laser sight and is $45 cheaper than Bud's as well as other competitors, it's worth a post.
The LC9 is a double-action-only, hammer-fired, locked-breech pistol with a smooth trigger pull. Control and confident handling of the Ruger LC9 are accomplished through reduced recoil and aggressive frame checkering for a positive grip in all conditions. The Ruger LC9 features smooth melted edges for ease of holstering, carrying and drawing.
Includes: Factory fitted Trigger-guard-mounted laser from LaserMax One 7-round magazine One finger grip extension floorplate Soft case Gun lock Instruction Manual Spent casing

I remember the last time the same deal was $350 on Sportsman's Outdoor Superstore like either early or mid year. I don't recall if the shipping is free or not.

Can you please elaborate?Reasons some people don't like safeties: 1. one more thing to remember in an emergency - i.e., your life is in danger and you draw, aim and pull the trigger and nothing happens. Woops, forget to flip off the safety. 2. if you leave the safety off because of the above, risk that you draw and accidentally engage the safety and again, you pull the trigger and nothing. 3. safeties may encourage reliance on mechanical parts that may fail.
On the flipside, there have been many negligent discharges that could have avoided with the use of a safety (or with the use of trigger finger discipline).
I don't like safeties on my defensive carry pistols, but I am very attentive when it comes to trigger finger discipline as well as keeping the trigger guard covered in a holster.

No offense, but if you regularly practice with a gun with a safety, and actively engage/disengage like you should, those concerns shouldn't really exist outside of an extra 1/2 second to turn the safety off.

What is the purpose of the spent casing?

A symbol of proof that they test fired it for you, and confirmed it goes 'bang'..

Some states had a problem understanding the second amendment and required spent casing for record keeping. I believe Maryland was such a state. The manufacturer would test fire the gun and include the spent casing with the gun. You then had to mail it off to the state so big gov could record the shell casing's fingerprint. Some manufactures always include this so they can sell to any state.

NY is another state that requires a casing. The firing pin mark on the casing is the "finger print" of the gun.

great gun i have 2 of them one as a secondary and the other in my truck all the time and i have never had any problems with them and a good pocket gun ... this is a good deal for anyone looking for a concealed carry this is a good one .....
Just an alternative but the LCP with laser is $344 at Buds. Its not prone to all the issues that effect the mechanical reliability of the LC9.

I have this same pistol as well. Never had any issues. Ran about 200 rounds through it so far. Load a round in the chamber, top off your magazine, put safety on, and keep it in your pocket. The manual safety has a nice positive click and cannot easily be disengaged (like on accident in your pocket) Its easy to push the safety down with your thumb while gripping the pistol.
