I think it depends on timeing for me. If it were to be loose and the triger NOT work when I needed it to (life or death) I would think the loose screw would be MUCH worse than if I had to drill a screw one day. After all, I do carry my R9 just incase of that life or death possibility and I need it to work!
Corey:
That makes perfect sense. What we all (at least 99.9% of us around here) appear to agree upon is that the Rohrbaugh R9s and K380s are superbly manufactured firearms which have exceptionally bridged the gap between functional tools and amazing works of art. How the owner elects to carry his or her little masterpiece or otherwise maintain it is entirely secondary.
My R9 is my "24/7 gun." Because of my life style, it often fills the backup role to a more traditional primary -- 1911, P7 . . . even a DE .50 on occasion. (At my age and with what I have managed to survive during work in some of the "armpits" of this world, I now always plan ahead.) One thing about my R9 is that it is always with me unless I am in court or some other place in which local law prevents that -- in which case it is secured in a safe, bolted in home or vehicle. Hell's bells, I even take the little "pocket rocket" into the bathroom when I shower. It is not my primary home-defense weapon at night (that one is chambered in 12-guage, as I have previously posted), but the R9 is there on the night stand.
Tracker once noted that there appeared to be a close and personal relationship between me and R9 132. He nailed it, as usual. This pistol has become not only a constant companion but also an extension of my now four-fingered right hand (a constant reminder of some past unpleasantness long ago and far away). I have developed a routine, much like a pilot preflighting his airplane. My R9 is inspected twice each day (morning and night), wiped down each night, fieldstripped and cleaned once each week whether or not it has been fired, and fired every month or so if I pass a range just to rotate the carry ammo and retain familiarity (here read, "muscle memory").
Do I bet my life and the life of "Herself" on this little masterpiece? You betcha!
I have owned many extaordinary and expensive firearms in my soon-to-be 74 years of life, but I rate this R9 of mine as the finest of them all.
But then, you obviously agree with that last comment, since you are closing up on or have already surpassed Brenden's record of five "pups" and counting in the kennel.
