The new "R-45"?

[DDGator]

I shouldn't say too much about this because I am going to get one to review for Shooting Illustrated as soon as they are avaialble.

However, assuming this works well, isn't this A LOT of what people were hoping to see in the fabled R-45??

I will buy one for sure! Waiting patiently....

The weight is listed as 25 oz one place and 28 oz another.  Either one is too heavy of my pocket.

A fixed barrel design on a 45 ACP stumps me a little.  I wonder how they retard the blowback?

I think I will stick with my XDs 45 for now.

Duane,
How about throwing in a review on the BMW 5 Series you picked up last year in Munich?

I tried to buy a platinum model for a few months with no luck...bought a platinum xr9s when one came avaliable ...this gun for the price I must have ...

What's the price, I need a new toy.

XDs 45, not XRs.  I have a couple of Boberg 45's but I finally gave up on them and went back to the Springfield.

The pull length on the XRs is just too long and too heavy for my size hands.  The Springfield is a much better fit for me.

They will be under 600.

I guess I am allowed to hijack my own thread...   

My 2015 528i is awesome.  I've had it just shy of one year now, and put roughly 15,000 miles on the odometer.  This is the best car I've ever had, for certain.  It is comfortable, fast, sporty and generally awesome.

Duane, I'm glad you are pleased with your BMW 528i. My daughter has one on lease and loves it. Meanwhile, I'm still roaming the roads in my 2011 Cadillac CTS. Its manual paddle shift option certainly saves the brakes here in the mountains. So far, so good.

Heizer's fascination with 45 ACP.

I'd buy one chambered in .32 - it would have the best sites of any .32 ACP on the market.

Did you guys know Arne Boberg is working as a Mechanical Design Engineer at 3M now?

Why no I didn't

Well there ya go then. Arne and I had a long talk quite a while back. He's around.

There is this huge segment of the gun-owning population who complain that there's never anything new, then there are these gun owners that criticize anything new, saying "Its a solution in search of a problem, it's a fad, its just marketing hype, it doesn't do anything my 45 doesn't do, it's a gimmick, it doesn't do anything my S&W revolver doesn't do, it's too heavy, it's too light, it's too thick, it's too thin..."

On and on and on.

Sometimes I think those two segments are actually the same gun owners.  They complain that nothing is new because they want something new to attack and criticize.

I think Arne is a great guy, I hope the Bond Bullpup stays around, I'd like to buy one someday.
