If and when you buy a R9 you will never look back. The trigger is great and smooth about 8 pounds like Richard said. No need for a gunsmith to work on it. The best thing about the R9 is it's a pocket pistol in 9mm. I also come with a Seecamp background having carried a .32 for over 20 years. Both Rohrbaugh and Seecamp have customer service done right.
