Just came back from the range,1st time w/R9s
« on: April 21, 2008, 01:14:24 PM »
All I have to say is Holy Shit! this was the most fun i have had at the range ever! i shot 100rds of WWB in my new R9s.
This gun is my new favorite! whats very surprising to me is for such a small gun with so much bark, she is very accurate.
This was the best $1100 that I have ever spent on anything.
Couple of questions:
When i got home i went to clean her for the 1st time and i am a little confused. Does anyone have any pictures posted of where i need to lube & clean. i dont want to mess anything up.
is it ok to spray gun scrubber and then compressed air to dry?

What is the best/easiest way to get just a little more grip out of the pup? I notice after every couple of rounds i need to reposition my hand grip.
Thx for all of your advice with the R9s. You guys are the reason why i made this investment:)

Congrats.....I know how ya feel!!!  8)

I didn't do the Gun Scrubber thing but just used good ol' Hoppe's #9 to clean the barrel, wiped everything down well and put a dab of Brownell's Action Magic....moly grease....on any 'shiney spots'.  ;)

bill3571,
If I have not welcomed you-Welcome to the forum!!

You are good to go-100 rounds-that is almost twice as much as I have shot in one session!!

A bit of grip tape in pertinent spots help for some,and some have used something like a Hogue Handall..

To find some info on the cleaning,always know it is right HERE

Welcome again,and great to have you!!

Great report! And 100 rounds in one session! In the words of Rudyard Kipling, "You're a better man than I am, Gunga Din!"  ;)
