mdfili,
I'll add something that hasn't been mentioned. Even though the R9 came oiled from the factory, I would suggest cleaning it before you fire it.
I'm sure it was put together properly at the factory, but if you disassemble, clean, oil and reassemble it yourself; you know it is put together properly. I consider this a MUST DO to every gun before you fire it!
It would also be great if the R9 would take any ammo made, but it likes quality ammo. I have other guns that have their ammo preferences too.
After the local shop checks it out and you still don't like it. I'll give your pup a loving home!
