New R9S - WOW....!!
« on: May 01, 2008, 09:42:55 PM »
My wife picked up her new R9S yesterday and today we were able to hit the range for a few hours and have a blast, so to speak!!.
Wow what a gun, after shooting 50~ rounds we will need to both get shooting gloves., or shoot less rounds. I wanted to be sure it would feed both range ammo and HD ammo, I tried to different types of Fedral, ammo. I really like the EFMJ ammo but the gun also likes standard HD FMJ was well.

We did have two rounds that did not fire, the dent on the primer was very light? but after we loaded them in a new mag they did fire, other that than it was GREAT!!

What a great gun, my wife will now carry it has her primary carry gun in the park, shopping, running errands, etc. I bought her a Uncle Mike's in the pocket holster today and that should work fine for now.

Thanks to Rohrbaugh!!

Actually she loves it, she looked at and fired a LOT of guns and she really liked the R9S better than any other gun she tried, and to top it off she is 66 years old and one hell of a good shot, she put a lot of holes in the black at 20', I know that is not far but that is the distance she likes.

welcome to both of you. 50 rounds each might be alittle much. I have 4 female customers that carry the R9 every day. Tom

Thats cool Tom.  Thanks for sharing.  So there are at least 5 female R9'ers around.
