my new to me r9
« on: February 26, 2012, 09:41:20 PM »
got to take my new, used, r9 to the range last night. Thank you yankee 2500. 30+ rounds of walmart federal and 20+ rounds of handloads. No issues whatsoever execpt 1 fte with the handloads. I thought this was outstanding. Recoil was less than I expected and the little pistol handled great and got back on target quickly. My range time was cut short by a firecall, have been a volunteer for 40+ years, so will have to continue testing at a later date. Overall very impressed with the build quality and the way it handles. Thanks to everyone who contributes to this forum, you guys helped make my decision to buy this firearm. Ron           PS John, I can help with that F250 purchase, but there is a few papers I will need you to sign!

Ford999,

 Congratulations on the R9 purchase. I feel the same way as you do. I think the recoil is not bad at all and the R9 has very good natural point.

 Be safe at those fires! That is NOT my cup of tea!
