Got my first R9s!
« on: August 10, 2009, 03:37:13 PM »
First - thanks to everyone that helped me with this purchase! Much info was gleaned from this site but also thanks to those I spoke with directly too.

OK - she's pretty much the "regular ole" R9s. A local shop had them in stock - actually they also has a robar version and a 380 as well.

I hope to get to the range tonight on the way home. It is in my pocket now waiting... ;D

It sure feels good - and zero worry about printing or being made!

Thank you Mr. Rohrbaugh!

Congratulations, hk.  Enjoy the ownership of the R9s.  Truly, a wonder of its' own.

Congrats HK.   I shoot an R9 better than I shoot most any other handgun I've ever shot.  Kinda scary.  However, having no real sights other than the front post, emphasizes front sight picture.  That's my explanation and I'm sticking to it. :)
