Joining the club
« on: June 01, 2006, 10:43:20 PM »
After quite some time of hanging out here, I just ordered an R9s "stealth" from Tom Watson's "Irish Guard Firearms."  This forum has been quite a resource in deciding to do so, and will likely be even more so a few months from now.

Bill, glad to hear you ordered the Stealth model.

Please tell about your experiences when receive it.

I'm very interested, too.

Nice going Bill on the Stealth.  I'm going to wait to see how it tests out - no hurry given I already have two R9s.  If it is a remarkable improvement I may consider it.  It does look nice.

I spoke with Tom today, and he expects to have my R9s Stealth next week.  It will be tested with various ammo very shortly thereafter.

What are the big differences with the stealth model, color and grip?

Well
I'm in the same boat!! New to the foum and a new pup.
I just got the pup from Tom Watson's "Irish Guard Firearms."  on thursday. Thanks Tom, He's a good guy!!
I took it to the range today and put 50 rds throught it. Absolutely Flawless!!! No miss feeds no stove pipes nothing.!!
My only complaint is not realy a complaint. It is more of a flaw on my part. After the first 12 rds were shot slow with sights, I was pleased with the groups that I got right out of the box. So I tried the next 6 rapid fire double taps with just pointing at the target. Well the first 2 were on paper. Then the next 2 rds the little pup tried to bite back!! Thanks to the slighly rounded corners of the slide I only got a set of red welts on my hand. LOL I got lucky no blood!! I wont do any more double taps without inproving my grip with the pup.
I can say that 50 rnds is about the limit for me with this gun in one session.
But I have to end this report with a simple word "PERFECT"

IDM got a R9s. Anyone that wants to get a Stealth quickly PM me, as I have some coming in the next week or so.
