Domestic Violence?
« on: October 20, 2005, 11:16:24 PM »
I'm not sure if this qualifies for DV, or Abuse?  Although my test wasn't as rigorous (according to Glock), or scientific... it never the less has satisfied me that my R-9 won't fail me when the chips are down.  I've treated my R-9 with little or no respect.  In fact, I've carried it daily over the last six months & have let it become hot, cold, wet, dusty, dirty, full of lint, stored it in a leather holster, fired it upside down, sideways, off hand, limp wristed & put a little more than six hundred rounds through it.  NO FAILURES! ;D.  I suppose it's time to clean it now.... let's see, drift all pins out to the left and hope to heck I can put it back together!  Just kidding.  Kudos to Rohrbaugh.   :D

P.S.  The only thing I'll drive over for testing purposes is my ex wife.  Again, just kidding.   :(

I'm glad it takes a licking, and keeps on ticking.

I knew what you meant - I guess you have to be over 50 to remember that one.

The commercials were originally narrated by John Cameron Swayze.

Bill,
Sorry for the late reply. I do remember the John Cameron Swayze Timex commercials. Like the one where they towed the Timex watch behind a motor boat pulled it up and showed it was still running... "takes a licken and keeps on ticken!". For all of you Michiganders, do you remember: " Which way did he go? Which way did he go? He went for Faygo!" The TV ad for Faygo Pop?

Anyway back on track, my repaired R9S seems to be "ticken" along as well as any of my old Timex watches ever did.

Ed,

I'm glad to hear that your "repaired" R9S is working fine.

It's a great feeling to have confidence in the little fellow.  I tried a variety of ammo in mine, and so far everything looks very good.

CaptBW,

Do you have plenty of snow up there in Northern Michigan?

I'm going up there around Christmas time.  It would be nice to have a White Christmas.

I am returning to northern Michigan tomorrow (22nd).  Hope the snow is deep because new skis are on my Christmas list!
