Total Thickness
« on: October 05, 2004, 12:37:45 PM »
What is the total thickness of the R-9?  The website lists the slide thickness at .812.  How thick are each of the carbon fiber handles?

I'm considering a new carry gun.  I want to compare apples to apples.  My G27 is 1.18" thick (although I've not measured to confirm that).

I have a G27 and a R9. Trust me, the R9 is thinner.

I would go so far as to say "WAY" thinner.  Sticking a G27 in my pocket after carrying my R9s feels like I have a brick in there!

I understand that it is much thinner.  Before I spend $1,000 I want to know 'how much' thinner.

Thanks in advance.   :)

While not *just* what you ask for, this is what my R-9 measures.

Slide .816
Over all grip .932  [total, w/ both grip panels in place]
