Hello all,
After reading about and researching the R9 (Google, Yahoo & this forum) I would like to say hello and thanks to all the members here for making this an interesting and informative forum.
After months of research (including running a “GUNFAX” with Maria), I ended up buying a used Stealth online at GB and am quite happy with the purchase so far. I received the gun, took it apart, cleaned it and reassembled it. I found the grip screws to be a little loose so I tightened them up. The next day I headed off to the range. I alternated between the R9 and my Beretta 92FS. I was using WWB and also shot some Winchester Luger (Parabellum) 115 GR. SilverTip Hollow Point. The R9 liked both and it had no problems – shot a total of 42 rounds. It did come with the stock Rohrbaugh grips and it did become a little squirmy in the hand due to the Texas warmth, humidity and slightly moist hands. Best R9 shot group at 15 feet was egg shaped (1.9” x 2.4”)
For those members who are using aftermarket grips (I’m considering VZ Grips, black, checkered), do they seem to help holding on to the gun? I have large hands and usually wear x-large gloves for work and cold weather.
Also, after I got home from that range trip, I found that all 4 grip screws had gotten loose to various degrees. I’ve been reading here { told you all it is a great place
}, about some o-rings available for the screws. How are those working out for those who are using them?
As for dis- and re-assembling the R9, I have to love David’s SlideBlock. Definitely made that job a breeze.
Thank you all again for making this a terrific and very informative place.
Sincerely,
Roger @FortHood
