R9 Kick and accuracy?

[kjtrains]

I really don't think you'll have a problem with recoil of an R9.  Recoil is stout but manageable.  That's just my thoughts, of course.

Just thought, I shoot a .454 Alaskan a bunch, one handed, and my thoughts as to recoil may not matter.  Another way to put it is, the recoil of the R9 is not a concern to me.

A few posts back on this string the Glock 29 was mentioned; a gun I previously owned and enjoyed. I disliked the cost of the ammo more than the recoil of the gun. Stout? Yes, but enjoyable. As stated previously I don't like double stack guns but Glocks are great.

Recoil of R9, of which we all tend to agree is substantial, (because of size and weight of the gun), but very rewarding, if that is the right word. At least it is for me.

Here's this beautiful little gun that packs a great punch. What's not to love?

If you can carry a Glock 29 you can definitely handle the recoil of the R9.

[kjtrains]

I definitely agree.  I didn't realize the Glock 29 was a 10mm, so looked it up.  That being said, you should have no problem.

Profiler999.  Just wondered if you had an R9 in your life yet?

No not yet.  I have not found one that has thrown me over the edge, so to speak.  I'll get there when the right deal comes along I guess.  Summer is approaching in the south and I'll try to step down to something smaller from my glock 27 just due the fact that shorts, t-shirts and flip flops are standard wear.

Hope you find a good deal.  Good luck, for sure!

Thank you for approbation of "carrying a model 29
Glock". However, I owned that gun when I resided in NJ; the home of horrible gun laws in which you can only carry your (unloaded) gun to and from the range. CCW does not exist in that rancid state in which I spent much of my life and career.

I think kjtrains has me beat with the .454 Casull but the 10MM Glock, in compact configuration, was serious business.

[kjtrains]

The 10mm.  I'm going to have to look into this jewel.  Stirring up some interest here.

The glock 29 was my first gun. When I got others they were like cap guns compared to what I was accustomed to with the g29 (except my .50 cal DE, of course). But the g29 is still my gun of choice - controllable with practise, has never failed to fire and is incredibly accurate with devastating effect (200gr @1250fps) - just doesn't slip well into a front/back pocket. I got a g26 but it is only slightly smaller than g29 and hence my interest in the robars. All the talk of the r9s being stout just had me worried - you guys have put my mind at ease - thanks.

Check on ammo first; I always coveted the Colt Delta Elite Gold Cup but didn't pursue it. Now, maybe an MP10--that would be something.

The wife and I have 10mm colt delta elites - they shoot smoother and a little more accurate than g29, but not nearly as concealable. As for the ammo - its not quite as bad if you buy it in bulk (1k rounds orders from doubletap), and its not really expensive compared to the 50 cal rounds for my M82A1 rifle - now every time I get a bulk order of that gives my wallet cramps.

You and KJ have some light artillery machines.

[kjtrains]

The 50 caliber rds. sure aren't cheap.

I usually get the ammo first.  That sort of paves the way for my getting the weapon.  That's just me.
