Received my R9s back from AP&W ...
« on: April 26, 2010, 10:49:10 PM »
Sent my R9s off to Bob Cogan, at Accurate Plating & Weaponry, for porting, checkering (front and rear straps), sights milled, and brushed chrome plating.
Just received it back today.
I hope the photo link works.
This is a sweet, beautiful piece of engineering, made even better.




I cannot tell you all enough, about how knowledgeable and helpful Bob and his office manager Jason have been.
They have also 'remade' a SIG P226 for me.
They're the best there is. Period.

whkrog.  One excellent piece of work, for sure.  It was worth the wait, though, hard to do.  Now, enjoy!    :)

Additional photos of Bob Cogan & Co's work:









About $600.00 for all the work, and well worth it.

Now that is a double WOW, for sure; brushed chrome plating, you say.  Excellent.

Very nice!

So how does it shoot? details, details. Any significant difference in recoil?

I love the milled sites.

My experience with the Holy Rohrbaughs is that the recoil is much less.

whkrog,
The pup looks awesome, and the close up pics are excellent
    The only thing I would change is the mag extension, and the grips.
I think the silver extension would be my choice.

I agree the silver extention looks really good with the hard chrome frame.  I like the extreem grips better too but with the checkering on the frame it not needed like it is without the checkering.

I'll agree with the silver extension, as well.  Complete one tone.  It's still a double wow, though.    :)
