Happiness is a Warm Pup-py!!
« on: March 26, 2010, 05:25:32 PM »
Just picked up my first R9s pup and have been giving it lots of pats and hugs!! It seems very well behaved. Took it down and got it back together without much problem. (Having big hands certainly helps.) I've been lurking here picking up lots of great info while waiting for its arrival...thanks to all of you!! Can't wait to get to my gun club tomorrow and see how it performs.  
 
Only problem...my pup was shipped to my friend's gun shop with another litter mate. Consecutive SN's, identical twins. I was reluctant to leave it behind. I've always had dogs and never less than two at a time since they enjoy each others company.  Maybe I'll drop by the gun shop later today...

Yo park245,

Congratulations on your new pup-py.  Welcome to the forum.  

Re: the sibling pup-py - - - GO FOR IT!   :)   ;)   :)  You'll have double the happiness, double the pleasure and double the fun.  (Or maybe it would be a pup-py for "Mama" too.)  ;D

Regards, Quiet1

Congratulations on your new purchase.  These pistols are really great shooters and are made to precise tolerences.

I recommend that you put a bandaid on your trigger finger when you initially shoot it.  It is not difficult to handle, but can bang the trigger finger in the trigger guard.  

Enjoy your R9.

Park:

Welcome to the Forum and to the Club! A certain amount of fondling the R9 is expected for new owners. (Some of us old timers haven't really stopped the practice, to tell the truth of the matter.   8) )

Finally got my new pup to my gun club today. Fed it 115 Gold Dots initially which it gobbled like a champ. It was still hungry so I switched to 115 WWB. No problemo! Hungry little sucker! Good advice on wearing a bandaid on your trigger finger...too bad I didn't take it :-[. But I found that the trigger action was so smooth that moving to the finger pad from the first joint worked great!

Earlier this week I took an NRA Personal Defense in the Home course and used my 9mm Sig 226 Elite for the shooting part of the course. It is a terrific gun and my preferred HD piece. Knocking off 150 rounds in rapid fire mode is a piece of cake. Wouldn't want to try that with the pup! If I can draw an analogy, the Sig is a Rolls Royce and the pup is a Morgan, the tough, tightly strung little English sports car. They have the same pedigree, are both high quality products, and each in its own way is at the top of the charts. I'd take the Rolls for a long trip, but the Morgan is a hell of a ride on a winding, hilly road!

Looks like I'm going to be doing a lot of driving this year! Thanks to all of you for your advice and praise for Rohrbaughs!

Park,

Glad that you had a great range session with your R9.  The SIG is a great gun and more suitable for HD use, but the R9 is an exceptional carry gun for up close SD issues.

I only hope that I never have to use any of my firearms in a self defense situation, but I am always prepared.
