DuggaBoye, Welcome to the group.
Great that the pup likes so many different brands and types of ammo, must be from the same litter as my pup. ;D

R9 Covert (Wilson ArmorTuff)
So far so good.
(It is wearing the coating off the barrel at the ejection port )
-
My pup started as a stock two tone model, sent it to Robar for the full NP3 coating (silde, frame, barrel & internals) and sight dots milled into the slide.

DB. Welcome to the Forum and congrats on the R9 Covert; excellent range results on all those brands of ammo.

What would be the cost of a similar upgrade?

question: isn't the "Federal 115 gr LE HP's" a +P+ load?
i ask because i was under the impression that we shouldn't use +P loads in the R9...
thank you
.

I just looked and wasn't abe to find any that were not +P or +P+ in the Federal LE.
-
About the +P's in the test-
Several loads were +P
Which equals--

At any rate, DB; still great ammo brand results. :)
-
If you have not done so already, be sure and change the recoil spring especially after shooting the +P loads. :o
-
I haven't thought of that; very good advice! :)
-
The "plan" is to carry the gun with the fresh "#2" spring
and shoot the "#1" spring to failure.
(I also have #'s 3 & 4 on hand already.)

Dugga…welcome to the best forum made up of many Great Americans. Great ammo test report. I too had a plan to shoot a spring to failure….some wise members on this forum informed me that the spring should not be used to failure as it protects the gun from impact damage of a slide that is slammed hard because of a weak spring. Others with much more experience than I can explain better as Toads aren’t real articulate. But please, Friend, use caution and protect your Pup….

After 400 rounds through my pup, no FTF or FTL that I can recall. I did buy it 08 so I may have forgot something.
My girlfriend has shot it too without any problems, she limp wrist a bit too.
