R9s Range Report
dctfn:
Hello Folks,
First and foremost my first experience with the R9 was quite pleasant and I am very confident that the R9 will go bang everytime I pull the trigger. Cheers to the bros Rohrbaugh for producing such a great CCW auto pistol.
I'm a lefty and recently had surgery to repair a ruptured tendon in my left hand. As luck or misfortune may have it the tendon leads to my index finger. Therefore I shot the pup right handed today.
The results by ammo using both magazines shot from 5-7 yards:
12 rds Win 115 gr fmj A+
12 rds GoldDot 115 HP A+
12 rds GoldDot 124 HP B+ FTF fifth Rd
24 rds Win 115 STHP A+
24 rds Win 115 FMJ A+
Comparing Kahr PM9 to R9. The PM9 advertises a 200 rd break-in period and with the PM9 I did have a few FTFs during the first few mags and then it work flawlessly.
The R9 was flawless from the box, but difficult for me to comment on accuracy considering I was shooting with my off hand.
My opinion the pup likes to be held firmly but white knuckles is not necessary. Rigid wrist is a must. Here is a photo showiing some rounds shot today. Again I am very pleased with the performance of the R9. My choice of carry ammo due to what felt to be a lighter load is Win Super X Silver tips 115 gr HP.
Kindest Regards, Fred
Michigunner:
Sounds like a great first outing. I'm glad you are enjoying the new pistol.
I will also carry Super X Silver tips 115 gr HP but still need to test them for reliability.
Congratulations, dctfn.
