As you know, I am sworn to secrecy on these things.  However, I make two observations based upon experience and not secret knowledge...

1)  A bigger R9 wouldn't really be an R9, and would be a new model that would create many of the same problems as introducing a new R45 model.

and

2) A .40 caliber pistol would not, by definition, be an R9 -- it would be an R40.  For the record, I have never heard the R-bros speak of an R40.

+1 ;D

Maybe they've modified the slide design to install Tritium sights?

OK, John; now, how about a 2nd guess; I don't have a clue!    ;D

Sorry John, I missed your first post. My brain must already be on Thanksgiving vacation.

My vote goes for Polygonal Rifled Barrels, checkered front strap, and some type of 'Dot System' on the sights.

I don't think they would change the riffling in the barrels, a lot of investment for a little gain. Checkering or dot sights, maybe. ;D

My vote is to leave it the way it is now so I don't HAVE to buy another one. :)

They can outsource the rifled blanks like Kahr does and finish the machining in house which they need to do anyway.

Obviously Duane was instructed to announce this new model, so I assume the Brothers are reading this.  Looks like a good time to make our wishes known.
