Range trip today with the R9 and the Boberg.  Tried aimed fire from 25 yards with both from a rest (my range bag...forgot to bring the tripod).  Boberg's long trigger pull resulted in most shots going low...I just couldn't keep the barrel from dropping at the end of the pull.  My first range trip using a perp target from 8 yards with standing Weaver stance relatively rapid fire the pistol was scarily accurate.  I went back to visualizing the target and putting the front site on it and at 25 and 10 yards accuracy improved markedly but still with flyers with rapid fire.

Interestingly, I also shot the R9 Covert from the 25 yard rest and it was more accurate than the BB, but perhaps a little less effective at 8 yards rapid fire off the front site.  Used Lawman, gold dots (124), silvertips in both and a few Golden Sabres in the BB....no issues of any sort with any of the ammo.

I obviously need to keep practicing with both, and will definitely need get used to the Boberg trigger pull for aimed fire...it just seems to do better with a quick trigger pull than with a deliberate slow fire, at least for me.

Both pistols have been getting cleaned with EEZOX after range trips and I must say I'm really impressed with both the cleaning power and the effective lubrication of the weapon after cleaning.  It also works great with the Seecamp, which is off to the engravers and out of the rotation for now.

Looks like I am up on the list! 2 new limited editions. Like the look of the new Platinum edition (satin sheen chrome/nickel). Onyx edition looks nice as well

"The XR9-S Platinum is for those of us that like to show off a thing of beauty - classy, less tactical, a showpiece that likes to be shot a lot and still looks great afterward. 
All natural stainless parts are standard. Receiver is Satin Sheen Nickel/Chrome. Red or Olive Green grips are on order - they should be available by the time we ship; otherwise, we will ship to you later at no cost if you order now.  Please state red or green color in comment field.
Available in limited quantity only. "


"The XR9-S Onyx combines the revolutionary engineering of the XR9 platform with an extremely durable, self-lubricating, tactical all-black finish. Trigger and transfer bar have natural finish. 
Available in limited quantity only. "

I got back in the queue for an Onyx and asked about unique order queues for each model.  We were told these new variants are no longer "limited editions" and will be available as options for all future orders.

I wish I had an Onyx.  I'm probably over a year away from getting one.

Looks like maybe demand is down on Bobergs.  A three day auction without a bid at $100.00 over current order price.
