No more unsolicited legal advice from a non attorney is desired or necessary.

That's just some simple common sense and sorry it's offending you.    :)

WOW... I've seen some bad hijacked threads but this is one of the worst. :o
   I don't think anyone on here would endorse breaking the law.  Unfortunately if the OPs Daughter carried a gun before she was of legal age that's there decision, not that I think that would happen.

My appologies, Moonshine, for being a part of that!

Well, thanks to Irish Guard I'm now the owner of a R9S Stealth, and I put the first 50 rounds through it today.  It's running 100% and the recoil is not an issue.  What I am struggling with is that the front strap is so short that I can only get one finger fully on it.  My ring finger keeps slipping off, and with my middle finger being the only one that gets a decent grip the muzzle flip makes keeping it under control for multiple shots a bit problematic.  I measured the front strap at 1.25", and the front straps on my PM9 and P380 are both 1.50".  Apparently, my fingers need that extra 1/4".  Although I've never been a fan of magazine extensions one may be in order with this gun.  I found pics of Yankee2500's curved mag extensions, but not the straight ones.  Can anyone post a pic, or point me towards a pic of a straight mag extension?

I tend to bury a gun in my hand and I've noticed the pup has a tendency to railroad track the web of my hand just like my Glocks do.

Overall, a well made piece, but it's going to need a little fine tuning to really work for me.  I can certainly see why people enjoy carrying one, as it splits the difference in pocket feel between the P380 and the PM9.

Glad to hear about the good range report.

It's not a glamour shot, but here's a pic of the straight mag extension on mine:

Moonshine.  Congrats on the Stealth and on the good range report which is to be expected from the Rohrbaugh.  You'll get the tweaking down to a science before long, I'm sure.  Enjoy!
