New R9 coming Friday
« on: January 11, 2005, 05:13:15 PM »
Hey Guys...........glad to be in the world of R9's, ex NYPD now in Florida. I wil be receiving my R9 this weekend, what do you think of "magsafe" ammo?? Or what is the best ammo you reccomend?? Does the gun pinch anyones fingers? Which really is the best Pocket Holster (back or front) always in shorts in Florida. How accurate is this wonderGun??? will be looking forward to talking with you guys... Thanks Dan :D

Welcome to Florida and the forum.
We have lots of opinions here and all get along,  for the most part.  ;D

We have all sizes of pockets here and three or four Holster Makers on board...

>>Hi Dan...

Check out the various threads around here on what to feed the R9 as this gun can be ammo sensitive.  Many folks, myself included, carry .115gr Speer GDHP...however recently there has been some positive discussion about various frangible ammo.

I have rather large hands and I have never been pinched by the R9.  However, this gun will definately teach you how it likes to be held...or you will be hurting after more than a mag or so.

I have several holsters for my R9...and for the money I have to tell you - this guy RJ Hedley (see one or two posts above) makes several mighty fine, fine, super fine beddings for this gun.  I generally wear shorts, often with a vest, year round and I usually go with front pocket carry with pants or vest.  I Believe it is RJ's "Limited Edition" for the R9 which has the extra leather flap for back pocket carry...which is removable for easy front pocket carry = nice piece of leatherwork, IMO...TW<<

Hi,

I just received a front pocket holster from Lou Alessi,
and it is excellent for $45 plus $6 shipping.

Question for geminidan.
When did you order your Rohrbaugh?
The order for mine should have been placed on 11/15 and I am getting jealous of you guys, who are getting your guns.
Thanks.

I've used Magsafe since 1990. Recoil is far lighter than FMJ or JHP, because the bullet is lighter.
