Y'all all know this but I'm late to the party...Y'all remember y'all's 1st time?
So, the Rohrbaugh R9 I found last year, had to stay in the safe until Christmas...and I didn't cheat. I put some checkered G10 grips(pink was all I could find but hey, it is for CONCEALED carry, right?) on it, added a new recoil spring in it, dug through my 9mm ammo and got out some Remington UMC 115 gr ball and some IWI 115 gr standard pressure hollow points. I fired 3 mags full plus 1 of both ammo. That is a very lively gun!
I'm a big guy and have very large hands and the gun was beating up a couple of fingers and the web of my hand. I have small and tiny guns from Seecamp and Keltec and on the large side I have 45 acp and 10 mm pistols and revolvers ranging from small to large frame 41, 44 and 45's and the R9 seems by far to recoil the most of any of my guns.
The R9 was reliable with 1 small exception that I don't think counts...I fired 1 mag full weak hand only and the last round failed to eject after firing. Not the guns fault and really, not a problem. I was shooting at a Bates Boots box from about 20'. The box didn't survive.
I am very pleased with my little Rohrbaugh.
