The Pup has returned home

[yankee2500]

 ACP, done any more shooting with your pup?

[ACP]

John,

No is the answer to your question. It has been an unusually cool and rainy summer in New England and I haven't gone to range much. However, heat and humidity have finally caught up with us and I am more likely cooling off by staying indoors or swimming in the river that goes through the property.

I am an autumn guy and that is around the corner. That is when I shoot the most, before leaves fall and it gets too cold.

My initial concern about my Robar R9 has gone away. That was a tendency for the trigger to stick when I dry fired it. So, my Robar R9 is carried everywhere I go and I stare at it, in admiration, about 37 times a day.

ACP:

I "exercised" my R9 Monday afternoon and, as usual, was awed by this extraordinary pistol. And after more than five years, I also find myself admiring it many times during the course of each day. To be truthful, this R9 of mine has just about achieved what might be described as "talisman status" for me.

It does have that supernatural capacity for sure.  I just like opening the case and looking at it, sometimes not even picking it up.  Weird?.....I don't think so.

[ACP]

When I open the case of the R9 I carry it is not there. I'm wearing it.

[kjtrains]

I don't wear mine around the house.   Maybe I should.

KJT:

I am always mindful that home invasions usually happen very quickly, can be very violent, and are nearly always unexpected. A weapon stored in its case or in a safe may do one little good under such circumstances. An R9 in the pocket is quite another matter.

My bachelors degree is in English. I am a passionate reader. Every night I put the book I am reading on the end table, next to my bed, and my gun on top of my book.

Richard.  That's good advice.  We live in a quite community in NC  and while in Ga. live in a place that reminds me of your Critter Creek, with deep woods all around.  Probably all the more reason to carry while at home.  I will start carrying mine in the house.    Thanks.

ACP.  I do have a .45 in a holster strapped to my bedpost  and it lives there, easily accessable.  I will, however, start carrying the R9 around the house during waking hours, and probably some,  the new Glock 33.

[Richard S]

The extraordinary thing about the R9 is that, while it is chambered for the full 9mm Parabellum cartridge, it is so light in weight and so small in size that it can be carried concealed on the person at all times and in all places where it is legally permissible to do so. I find that . . . comforting.  

[kjtrains]

Very much so!

[kjtrains]

Definitely a problem!

This belongs to my wife. She calls it "Bitty Bit." It might work for "Speedo concealment."
