I finally got the chance to shoot my R9 again. I cleaned and relubed it as per the instructions prior to going to the range.
I shot 50 rounds and they were all Winchester white box FMJ.
Out of the 50 rounds I got 5 FTF, on rounds 14, 19, 24, 36 and 47 and it didn't matter which mag I used.
That's no better than the last range session when I got 6 or 7 FTF out of 70 rounds fired.
The wear on the inside of the frame rails didn't appear to progress any further this time, so at least that's one good thing.
I now have 120 rounds through the gun and it is averaging a FTF every 10 rounds. I don't really think it's a break-in issue, so I guess it's time to give Rohrbaugh a call and see what they say. I really hate shipping my guns out but I guess I have no choice.   :'(

Very sorry to hear that Harry - and puzzled too.

It won't help any except my curiosity - what nature of FTF's??  Were these those ones that come up too high and nose into top of chamber to jam?

Speak to Maria first and see if she can get Karl to speak to you - so you can describe the problem.

Chris - yes, all of the failures were the nose of the bullet jammed up against the top of the chamber. I'll definitely give Maria a call.  I want this gun to work out for me.
