does anybody think the first third of the trigger pull is a little rough?

Although the trigger pull is smooth, for me the trigger travel seems to be a bit lengthly prior to release. Any pros or cons on this subject? Thanks in advance for your reply.

Relative to some other guns I agree with you, but after awhile it
grows on you. I will take long and smooth over rough and short
any day. I returned a Sig Mosquito to the seller because the trigger
was like extra coarse sandpaper.

Speaking only for myself, I prefer a lengthy trigger pull (smooth, of course) on a DAO pocket pistol without a manual safety. The lengthy trigger pull becomes the safety -- combined with a good holster covering the trigger and that "stuff" between the ears.

Whoever it was that gave me the advice "pull it like you mean it, it's not a target pistol!" was spot-on.

My first couple of times out I lined up my shot and pulled the trigger slow.  A few shots later I was flinching from the perceived recoil, hitting who-knows-where, and generally not enjoying the experience.

My last trip to the range I took their advice.  I lined up and just squeezed off the shot.  What a difference!  If it weren't for the price and scarcity of ammo I would have gone through alot more rounds than I did.  True I was all over the paper, but at least I was ON the paper.   :)

I am jumping on the bandwagon as to great trigger pull. I have never experienced a bad R9 trigger pull in the four I have owned.

 I also enjoy stacking. The best acuracy I have enjoyed is when I stack the gun; pull the trigger to the threshold of when it breaks, prior to shot, while focusing on sight alignment.

While I realize stacking is not a very good realtime pursuit with the R9, I still enjoy it occasionally.

With my R9 Stealth (no sights) stacking has less meaning and I pull it until it says Bang.

Sounds like most have great trigger pulls.  I can add that the ones I have owned have been very smooth all the way through the pull.  I have sold/traded off four of them but still have these ( :'(why ol why did I sell of my Farmingdales? :'() .
