Title: This Pup has quite a Bark and Bite!
Post by: R_Junior on March 07, 2008, 10:42:04 PM
Left post yesterday with pics of new R9s stealth.  Thanks for all your kind words of welcome.

Went to the range today with my new r9s stealth.  Fired 38 rounds of WWB 115 gr and 14 rounds of Speer GDHP.  Flawless operation.  

Not very comfortable to shoot, however.  But I expected this.  Not a range gun, but a pocket pistol to use to save one's life.  

Sights were hard to pick up as front and rear same color.  I know this is not a target pistol, so this is not really a complaint.  

Pic #1 1st mag fired from new R9 15 feet WWB 115 gr

Pic #2 bottom right target best group at 15 feet: 6 shots with one flyer

Pic #3 12 shots slow fire Speer GDHP 115 15'

Pic #4 Top center target 10' wwb slow fire

Pic #4 Bottom center target 10' rapid fire WWB.  Big difference.  Will take a lot of practice to improve here.  Really hard for me to shoot rapidly.

Pic #5 WWB 115 6 shots 30' slow fire

Any comments about how to hold this violent Pup to get good accuracy and keep your palms from bruising?

thanks
RJ

Well done.

I guess we all could practice more.  For your first time out, I feel that you did very.

Pat yourself on the back and enjoy the new addition.
