Illuminati?????...... Josh, I think that you have been inhaling the fumes coming out from one too many wells!

This is likely true.

Looking forward to running another 33 rounds through each of the R9's next week hopefully.

I imagine we are getting closer to HIGH levels of confidence in the R9 platform.

Also, lovin the new (to me) sig 239 in .357 sig!!!

Great (but slightly heavy) sidearm in an amazing round IMHO.

I had 12 years of igPa atinLa in the public school system in IL.

Does that count for anything?

I figured they did because that's about all I was good at and I did graduate.

The important thing is that you put IL in your rear view mirror, which shows above average intelligence.

Well I ran another 25 rounds through the repaired R9.

I had one FTE out of a 147 gr gold dot.

Not sure why, but I am encouraged that so far it's only 1 out of 59 and not 1 out 15.

The testing goes on. Perhaps I shouldn't have switched to 147, but it's what I had in gold dot. I thought it would have been fine. Rats.

Thoughts?

I thought you decided to go with 124 gr.

Modified the post. I only had 147. Did I mess up the mojo?

I don't know but some of the forum members here who used the 147 went back to the 124. I just think this pistol requires a high level of consistency to ensure reliability. One FTE is nothing to be concerned about.

Agreed. I will get back to 124.

My Covert eats GD124 and Federal HTC 124 without a single hiccup.  It also seems to do fine with Lawman 115 for practice (just what I have available) and has had no problems with the few 147's that I have had in the past.  I will stick with the 124 in GD or HTC.  My other R9 is presently in a gunsafe in Florida, but when last tested (new to me and not shot much) it was happy with Lawman 124 without a problem.
