Oh wow, I can’t believe it has been this long since last shooting the R9. Sorry for the long delay.
First off, I need to correct my last post. I did not shoot 91 rounds in one range session. Ouch. I must have been so giddy that there were no failures… Here is what I really shot:
3 mags Speer Gold Dot 115gr
3 mags Speer Gold Dot 124 gr
1 mag Remington Golden Saber 147gr
As for the range session 2 nights ago, 41 rounds, zero failures (Speer Gold Dot 115gr & 124 gr). Now it has a total of 89 (or 92 if I include the 3 that the factory shot) rounds since returning from the factory with no failures (one bad primer). I now, for the first time, feel comfortable carrying it.
Before this last range session, I thoroughly cleaned it and used Eezox dry lube instead of the grease and oil I had been using. It seemed to work perfectly. Eezox will be my new lube (smells a lot better than Ballistol!).
Yep, that is another smile.
