Just ordered an R9S
« on: January 03, 2011, 02:22:12 PM »
I just ordered a stainless R9S this morning! Should be able to pick it up by the end of the week.  Can't wait!

I'll post a range report after this weekend.

Congrats,   I just got mine yesterday.   I have not shot it yet, but just picked up some gold dots and Golden Sabers.   Does anyone have experience with the Sabers out there.

WOW!  A member since 5/23/04.  Although I wasn't a member at that time, a belated welcome and congrats on ordering the R9.  You'll be proud!

Yeah, I was a very early member here.  I closely followed the development of the Rohrbaugh, but my financial situation was not great at that time.

I can't believe it's been so long, but I finally decided to buy the Rohrbaugh I was never able to get back then, and retire my Kel-Tec PF-9.

Good luck with your PUP. That was a fast turn around on your order.

Congratulations on ordering the pup.
With that many years of reading the forum you probably wont have a lot of questions. ;D

No, I haven't been reading the forum this whole time, so I'm sure I'll have questions.

Speaking of questions... why does everyone call them pups?  :-[  ???

RSCarry, one of the moderators of this Forum, coined that name in the early days of the Forum and it has stuck ever since.

I do. Until last year I was loading 147-grain Golden Sabers in my R9 but dropped down to 124-grain loads for compatibility with my HK P7, which often serves as my primary. (The P7's gas retarded recoil system was designed around the NATO 115/124 grain loads and can be thrown off by a heavier bullet.)

My impression is that most of the members of this Forum favor Speer Gold Dots or Winchester Silver Tips, and I have supplies of those on hand as well. I personally just prefer the Golden Sabers. Reasonable minds will differ.

Here is the post where RSCarry named the R9 the pup; about half way down the page.

Thanks RS,  sorry to get off topic.     Congrats again to OP.   I think he will like it.  I can't stop admiring mine.

Gold Dots are a good choice and usually pretty easy to come by. First and foremost whatever the pup likes and you can shoot well. :D
