Decided to switch carry ammo to HST 124 grain.

Ran 18 rounds and I did have 1 failure to feed.

Can't blame the R9 though.

I think I will have to slowly, methodically and patiently work on whether or not it's worth the switch from gold dots.

The impressive gel test on MRC's shooting the bull has convinced me of the superiority of the HST round.

The HST has a longer profile and quite a sharp leading edge that contributes to the issue IMO.

Anyone else have good or bad success with the HST?

They are both at the top of the list but best to go with which one functions best for you and not the test ballistics on penetration, etc. I have not had any issues with either the Gold Dot or the HST.

+13 more perfect HST.

Of these 13 rounds I let a young man going off to the marines run a mag and my 11 year old run a few rounds.

Nice to know that it's reliable without having the tongue held just right.

Well with summer here and a good record on reliability I have finally been able to carry the R9 more than ever. I've even been sporting it in an IWB crossbreed lately when the shirts are a bit tougher to conceal under and I have been very impressed with how it conceals! Really like no other.

Also carrying it front pocket in the awesome milt sparks sharkskin concealment holster and have found it very concealable and comfortable with most pant selections.

Thanks Rohrbaughs for the great pistol. I'm diggin it.

We could have bought Josh a lot of Elites if we had been able to charge .30 to .50 cents a word for this wordathon. But, then it wouldn't have been as much fun as kicking Josh around the block. He has a great sense of humor and his pups are barking, so all is well at 42, almost.

Never had so much fun getting kicked around the block. I know the reports have turned to boring, but it's so exciting after the rough start and TRULY wanting to love my Rohrbaugh I feel quite excited and compelled to post the good (though simple) report. Thanks for not getting too annoyed about it.

As for the marathon... Hmm... Idk. It's hard for me to not post. I guess I got addicted to it. Stop replying and I promise I will quit posting here... Eventually 😉
