I had four LCp's and did have broken parts. I presented a number of pics of split rails, cracked frames etc. Regardless, I really don't care what others buy. I moved on from the LCP's. No Big deal.A Rolex has small parts too, doesn't make it a bad watch. I know many folks with LCPs. I don't know of any broken parts. I have thousands of rounds through mine without a problem.
I was at the range today and handled the Security9. Personally I really did not like the gun. I did not like how it felt in my hand and really did not like the light weight. It just felt unnaturally light. Then moving on to the LC9E, it right away felt so much more solid. You could tell they skimped on the frame quality a little, but for a trainer it might be a good second gun for my LC9s. The Security9 did seem to be a big brother of the LCP. Some may like that. If so, then this will be a great gun for them.
As far as the conversation on safety vs non safety. Not sure Just Newbies would want one. I prefer a safety. Use to using them all my life. Actually no safety might be better suited for a newbie. It takes time to develop the mind/muscle memory of a safety. I think many that buy this gun will not be frequent shooters to the range. JMO.
