Thanks so much for that very complete information.

One additional question. Why would Karl Rohrbaugh in his email classify the R9 as a "locked breach blowback design"?

I believe that is Eric's email and I don't know.

Maybe part of the confusion here is that a locked breech can incorporate a delayed blow back but a straight blowback can never be a locked breech. Here is some more discussion on this subject.

Just did 400+ rounds today and my R9 is far from falling apart, it devoured everything I put in it and I didn't even clean it or change the spring. Step back nonbelievers.

#3 R9 has 3000 rds. through it in 6 years; at this rate you will surpass him in seven more range visits.
