 Ordered my second one today. I've had my first since 5/24/04. "BlackHawk" on THR serial #101 received the first sample to the "public." Talking to Karl, the lube they ship on the gun is Superlube. www.superlube.com  I ordering mine "looking" for the perfect BUG. Now with over 200rds thru it without any trouble, shooting mostly weak hand only, I just had to order another. Again, talking to Karl, my order should arrive in about three months or less, they added another shift at the factory. However, all bets are off as to wait time once the R9 is on the cover of American Handguner. The only ammo I've been using is PMC 115gr ball for practice and Federal Classic 115gr HP 9BP for self defense. The Federal is a "very accurate" load out of "my pistol." Yes the R9 is $$$, but it's worth it. I now have a reliable BUG, made of metal, that throws a 115gr slug at around 1000fps. Even at 900fps, the mass of a 115gr is 20% more than ball .380. This is my idea of a trully CQW.
