Is there something special about this one?

I would try 124 hydrashock first. 👌

If you are going to pocket carry the best, and thinest that stays in the pocket during a draw, is a Blackhawk #2. I got mine from Amazon for like $10.00

 Since I know nothing about collecting modern firearms, I am looking for input. I have another one of these rascals. Another stealth. It is new in the box, never fired  and has all the accoutrements. I even have the original receipt where the original owner paid $1200 for the gun.  If it would cost $1200 new but you can't buy it because it's out of production, then how much should you pay for the brand-new unfired gun?  Is an unfired gun Worth more than a gun fire 10 times?

As a long time G-broker seller/buyer I have found that most 'unfired' guns are just clean used guns with just a few rounds through them. Enjoy your VERY RARE bird and somewhere down the line it will be worth a lot more. Keep it clean, keep ALL manuals, and NEVER scratch or knick it.

As I said you got a great gun, I was the other bidder, I just gave up too soon.

Well I have two but I guess I can't carry either of them so now I'll have to buy a good used gun.thx for everyone's help

Three is always better than two. I am SLOWLY getting there.

Delivered as described. Pin retainer shows evidence of gun being fired but not much. Otherwise, in new condition.  Seller did very nice job.

Silvertips were the recommended ammo for the Seecamp pistols but are somewhat underpowered.  The single most favored 9mm round here seems to be the Federal Gold Dot 124gr JHP.  Federal Lawman 124gr FMJ is excellent and relatively inexpensive practice ammo that was developed to mimic the Gold Dots.  Some others use 115gr and others 147 gr., but 124 seems the best received.  Each one of these tiny pistols will have its own preference in ammo, so find what works predictably in yours and stick with it.  No +P allowed!  Remember to tighten grip screws after each practice session, keep it clean and it will do you proud.

I bought a R9 that was customized by Cogan which included his Double ported barrel.  I took it along with another R9 that I have shot a lot and chronographed three factory loads in both guns,

Here are the results:

Federal Hydra Shoks,   124 grain  - Std R9  -   964 fps,  SD  - 14 fps
                                       -   Ported R9 – 964 fps, SD -  5 fps

Gold Dot  124 grain   - Std R9  -  1021 fps,  SD – 21 fps
                               -Ported R9  -  1009 fps,  SD – 14 fps

Gold Dot 115 grain   -Std R9  -  1062 fps,  SD – 12 fps
                              -Ported R9  -  1062,  SD – 18 fps

My everyday carry is a Kimber Solo which I carry the Remington GS 124 gr +P Bonded.  They choronograph at 1050 fps out of the 2 3/4" barrel.

Have you tried Federal HST 124 gr?

[MRC]

I have shot them but I do not have any standard pressure ones left as I went to using 124 gr HST +P and that is all I have in inventory.

I never carry a R9 any more.

Hi MRC,

Thanks for the effort, GREAT info. Looks like I will be switching to the Gold Dots from my Winchester JHP's.

You might want to try HSTs also.
