I tend to be kind of a practical sort of guy, and the best idea I saw was the guy on here who made one out of an old tooth brush handle.  A little grinding and maybe drilling a hole and he had one.

The Engineer in me made me jealous I did not think of that.

I've got the tools confused...is David's tool the black plastic form that fits the R9 barrel slide to push back the slide, or is that the RJ?  I thought RJ was the chopstick, which I've never had or used.  David's, if I don't have them confused, makes the job so easy that I actually enjoy cleaning the R9...unfortunately, I'm in process of moving to Florida and tools and such are packed and unavailable.  Can anyone send closeup pictures of David's tool to Garymass?

Hello everyone.

I would like to see how much interest in getting an RJ style breakdown tool. The reason I ask is because a member who has made them in the past and may make them again if there is enough interest, so please respond to this and I will create a list.

John---RJs tool was the brass "chopstick" with the notch cut in one end to use on the recoil spring when you reassemble the pup.     Very useful!

It will depend on the quantity ordered but should be within a few dollars of the original price which was $33. Obviously because it's been a couple years I would expect a small price increase just due to the price of brass increasing.

  Actually the purpose of this thread is to determine if another run is worthwhile if there is not enough interest it will cause the per piece price of the machining to be unacceptably high.
