I remember you had tried the Winchester Silvertips without any problems.  I know they are hard to find, for sure.  I'm just thinking, with all the ammo you've tried, your R9 may have dreck and all sorts of stuff, lodged around the firing pin, and around parts that make it work.

Are you letting the R9 cool down between magazines?  That could affect the fte.  Just some thoughts.

As I've mentioned before, I started with Winchester Silvertips and have never tried or used anything else.   What works, works.  

Good luck in resolving the problem.

I agree with KJ. Unless you permit the R9 to cool down a bit  between strings of fire and keep it clean and well lubricated (for me that means a clean/lube after each 50-60 rounds or so), you're apt to have problems. The tolerances of a 9mm pistol scaled down to a 13-ounce package are minimal. Of course, you may have been doing all of the above described care and maintenance. If so, the factory will be able to identify any problem.

Good luck, and keep us posted.

abboberg:

I don't think I have yet welcomed you to the Forum, so permitme to do so at this time.

Now . . . if you will let me know when you are nearing completion of that .50 BMG project you mention, l'll send you a list of superb orthopedic surgeons specializing in reconstructgion of the human hand and wrist. You might want to include their contact information in the owner's manual for that new blaster.   ;)

As mentioned, If I can observe from another county...I will "GLADLY"[/i] give him some of my Barrett 650gr ammo

This thing below is bad enough! Its the CQB version and the muzzle brake is to close to ones face. Definitely don't shoot it with you mouth open!

Looks just like yours!  Scope is different.

You have the one I should have bought! Your barrel is at the "normal" length of 29 inches I think.

Scope on mine is NightForce 5.5-22x56. Yours appears to be either Burris or Nikon???

I didn't even notice the barrel length was different, but can see it now.
