Title: Hello, my name is Tom and I'm.......
Post by: Thomasconnor on November 30, 2016, 09:46:52 AM
Hello, my name is Tom and I'm suddenly an R9 fan! I've been reading here for years.

I've pocket carried for many years and always wanted an R9 after my failed Seecamp experiment five years ago. My hands are too big for the little blowback beast and my trigger finger nearly crippled by the inside of the trigger guard; well perhaps not that bad but I couldn't shoot for a couple weeks afterwards. Being a smart guy, I only tried it twice with the same painful result, to both hands both times. ::) ::)

So while wanting an R9, I wasn't in a position to fork over the money until recently. There was no where to handle one that might persuade me so I watched the market patiently. I recently came upon an R9S Stealth #5024 and the seller, 2000 miles away, assured me it was reliable and we came to terms.  :) :)

I like the locked breech action, the sloping shape of the slide at the rear, and even the heel release since I'm left handed and don't carry a reload. I've had pocket guns (with side mag release) in the left front pocket drop the mag because I leaned against something and hit the button. All my side mag releases have been ground flat and still (rarely) release inadvertently; well that's no longer a concern!
 
On reliability,........ wait I need something for the R9 forum so that's it for now...thanks...Tom
