Excellent review and range report. It was very thorough.

Thanks for sharing.
I put my name in late for the waiting list. I should hear from them in December of this year. I cannot wait.  :)

Ljutic.  Great review.  I really enjoyed it; you really battled that wind.  Thanks for showing.  The Boberg certainly is an amazing little gun.

I shot another video last weekend.  I was more comfortable with it the second time around.  It's a sweetie.

One last video from last weekend.  Over 500 through the pistol with 20% of that being +P.  I'm signing off on the check out.

Excellent range report.

I am on the list for the end of the year. Reports like this make it an easy decision to purchase one!

As always Ljutic, excellent video.  I've got a ways to go before hitting 500 rds, however, really like the Boberg.  One fantastic pistol.

As always great info.  Thanks for sharing.  I've been stalking a HK P7 PSP at my local gun shop that the owner has been keeping out of sight.  I deliberate almost on a daily basis on that gun, but now the Boberg has emerged again and now I cannot make up my mind.  Thanks for complicating things!!

Both?  Seems to end up being the solution most of the time.   ;D

That would be the simple solution.  The problem lies with patience.  I will be attending the Wanenmacher show in Tulsa, OK this year, and need to have some money put back for it!!  I won a friendly wager with a friend of mine on the OKC Thunder / San Antonio Spurs playoff series and he has honored the bet and paid for my hotel room in Tulsa for that November weekend.  I only live outside of OKC, but who wants the 4 hour daily commute each day!

I cannot be in Tulsa during the show with light pockets!  I have always had a hard time selling firearms (with a few exceptions) so I don't think that I want to sell anything I currently own to offset the cost of either of these.  So I must decide which one would be easier to find at the show.  I'd be hard pressed to find a Boberg at a decent price immediately available right now, but they will be available at the show.  Anything and everything is there.   I even found me a nice little R380 there last year.   So I think I'll probably lean towards the P7 right now since I have a bead on one, and be on the Boberg hunt this November in Tulsa.

Not sure if this will help answer the recoil question.

One of these days I'll spend a day doing all of them individually, but for now this is the best I have on the R9.  Personally, I don't have a problem with recoil from the R9 or XR9.

I made a weekend out of the November show last year.  Had a great time walking the floor with a friend and met up with several more friends for dinner, drinks, and cigars after the show.  I'll probably plan a repeat for 2012 so I may see you there!
