Got to the range today with 115gr speer gold dots.  Three mags with a minor FTE on the first round.  So happy with this 6 year old gun, finally.  So stupid to have tried to make silvertips work for so long.

fgunnr.  Definitely good to use what works best in your R9.    :)   Some R9's have a preference; others don't.  I've never had a problem with 115 gr. Silvertips and never had to try anything else; now that's just me and I'm sure some others.

Stick with the Gold Dots as I'm sure you will.  Thanks for the update.

Fgunnr,
 
 I am glad you gave your R9 a second chance. Have fun "dialing" it in! The Gold Dot's are fantastic. I have used them for years. If you find they do work the best in your R9, I would suggest you buy in bulk. Hopefully you can get them all from the same lot.
 The R9 is a fantastic carry pistol. It deserves to be in your pocket not your safe.

My Robar R9 is coming home from the hospital tomorrow after I experienced some problems on the range the week before last. After a ftf, my slide became frozen and I found it impossible to work.

The problem commenced with a squibb(sp?) round and got worse from then on. The information gleened from this string is helpful and I thank those who made recommendations.

The factory, unsurprisingly, has performed well and I am on a countdown to happiness.

Love that happy feeling; knowing when you get it back, the Robar will be as new.  Been there with the Seecamp.

When back to the range today and fired 3 mags(speer 115gr GDHP) with no FTF or FTE.

I did have one round fail to fire.  Pulled the trigger again and bang.

Since your Pup, like mine, loves Gold Dots you might like to try Speer Lawman TMJ practice ammo for range work. It is designed to replicate the performance of Gold Dots at about half the price, allowing you to practice with what you carry without denting the wallet too badly. A nice system. I get them from Ammo-To-Go.

Good to hear your Pup is running well now.

RickP,

 Thanks for the tip on the TMJ lawman ammo! I will give them a try as I am getting low on W/W white box.

Welcome to the OP...

Being an "older" Pup,you still may want to change out your mag springs..The springs for your slide should have been updated when you sent to the R Bros..

As stated earlier,try different food for your Pup,it'll let you know what it likes to eat!!

fxgunnr-once again,Welcome..

they use federal champion in the red box at the rohrbaugh factory.

I am curious what ammo that Rohrbaugh uses to function test their pistols.  I too had a R9 that would not function with anything but Blaser aluminum.  Three of us tried with seven brands of ammo and never got a full magazine off.  I had a PM9 and the other two had PF9's and they all functioned 100% with the same ammo so I don't think we all were limp wristing it.

I sent the pistol back to Long Island and they said the gun functioned perfectly.  I purchased a different R9 and it is 100% through 150 rounds of the same ammo and my practice reloads.  I don't know what they used unless it was the Blaser aluminum.
