I really do not see anything special about this Boberg.  Crazy price!

Holy $#i+!  I didn’t know the stainless frame was worth that premium.

It looks like equity man, or whatever his name, is on the prowl again.

I should sell this one, it's fired but like new.  I think the grips really look good on this Platinum Boberg.

I have the XR9L in platinum #00069 with tritium night sights (original box, etc. bought preproduction)...an incredibly nice pistol to shoot with maybe 120 rounds through it....wonder what that is worth?

I have one of the Platinum XR9L's that I never fired.  I know there are a lot fewer of the L's than the S's but the shorts are more popular.

I have a Platinum and an Onyx 45 also that I have shot quite a bit.  Not very good pistols but they were made is super low numbers and go high on GB.

On the Colt Forum I saw a guy that bought a Bond Bullpup in Platinum so I bought one of those.  I have not shot it yet but it certainly looks like Bond is doing a very good job on them.  The machining inside and out is just beautifully done.

I have read about but not seen the Bond version.  For some reason I never knew about the need for grease in the innards of the Boberg version...noticed it was greasy but just cleaned with EEZOX and never had a problem.  Is there a special grease required, or will any quality gun grease do/

Here are some links.  The first is the only product that Arne recommended.

Here is how to apply it.

I doubt that you did your pistol any harm not using it.  I think it was needed for long shooting sessions and for the guys who don't clean or lube their guns.

Don't use any more than what the photo shows.  I used it before the picture came out and used about twice that much and it gooped up the whole inside of my gun.

Good luck

Coincidentally, I also use the LPS Micro X cleaner on my guns. It is safe on all surfaces, even plastic:

MSRP is $1099.00

Bond was selling them direct for $977.00 and at the first of the year went to using distributors so they raised the price.  Street price should settle down to $1000.00 I would think.

Bond just ran a special selling them for $977 and throwing in 2 extra mags.  That is what I paid.

Thanks all.  I just realized why I didn’t know about the grease on the unlock block...my shorty was a face to face purchase without a manual.  The subsequent XR9L was just cleaned the way I always did the shorty...didn’t read the manual (color me embarrassed).
