Title: NEWBIE-R9S STEALTH
Post by: SCC1XX on March 17, 2008, 09:01:17 AM

Hey, new here as a member but have been reading for several days. Just picked up r9s stealth -  put 50 rds  silvertips thru yesterday- only 1  ftfeed - that was on initial round from clip and possibly round was not loaded or seated in clip properly-loaded rd after bumping rear of slide- best group put 5 rds in 3''  with 1 wild bringing group to 6 rds in 3-1/2'' at 25 feet from rest. I was impressed with every aspect of this gun- most important to me is 9mm in such a small package . also shot as good as operator would allow at fifty feet although don't expect that to be likely -but you never know- I noticed shiny areas where black coating rubbed off in/on slide rails but is not visible on outside- i would expect this to be normal- also found some minute particles of aluminum??

Welcome to the forum and Rohrbaugh ownership.

BTW- They're called magazines, not clips.

Welcome to the forum SCC1XX!  Hope you enjoy the pup (Rohrbaugh R9 stealth if someone needs the proper name) as much as I enjoy mine.  Call it what you want.  Clips, mags, magazines, it don't matter, we knew what you were talking about.  I guess if we have to be so formal to call everything by its proper name I'll have to drop out.  I can't spell that good.

Hi Guys!

New to the forum as well!  Picking up my new R9S Steath tomorrow.  Very excited!  Does this pistol require cleaning and lubing before I head to the range like other pistols?  Also, should I run various types of rounds through the pistol during initial break in?  Please advise...

Thanks in advance!

Marco

These guns have their likes and dislikes when it comes to ammo. I suggest Gold Dot 115 and WWB 115.

No, the gun does not need to be cleaned before your range session.

And by the way, welcome aboard.
