Picked up my Pup today
« on: January 20, 2011, 04:48:06 PM »
Momma said I could get a pup if I was good.  ;)
So I promised to feed it , pet it , and take it out every day.
Today I picked up ''Blackie'' , my new R9 Stealth.
I will take very good care of her , hope she does the same for me ! Range report coming soon.

The bark is probably worse than the bite - they more playfully nibble ...

Congrats on the new pup - you will enjoy your first range day!

I would be a little bit careful with that Pup, they not only nibble they may bite if you are not careful and do not treat them right. Congratulations, you should be very pleased!

WB:

Welcome!

Just keep that pup clean and well lubricated, allow it to cool down a bit following strings of fire, and it will serve you well. You now own what our member Reinz aptly calls "the Holy Grail of pocket pistols."

Get your support thumb behind that slide and you will get one heck of a bite.

It will be YOU that bark!

I've heard it can happen to someone on their first shot when they aren't ready for a little "flip".

Probably just a rumor though.

The first I heard about the improper grip you describe was last week from the instructor in my CHL renewal class. I thought he was just blowing smoke but they must see everything. For example, one of the shooters in our group released his slide on a loaded magazine prior to firing but then he racked the slide and ejected a live round because that was his normal firing sequence. The instructor was all over him for that little faux pas before he settled down eventually. It is astounding what some people do with their weapons.

I've seen it a lot, actually, at the public ranges.  Either bites on the web of the primary hand, or, a chunk missing from the support hand.  I think it would be easier to do on the R9 because it is just a touch smaller than some others!
