One more thing - I've carried for over 30 years and have never been satisfied with my weapon of choice.
Always searching for sometihing better.

That search stopped 5 years ago when I laid eyes my R9 at a gunshow.  I litterly snatched off the table immediately in fear that someone would  recognize this jewel.  I paid the asking price and was glad to pay it.

My search had ended.



Until I wanted another R9  :D

Picked up an R9-S on total impulse yesterday. Have been looking for the right carry pistol forever. Have a Springer EMP 40 which is awesome but too heavy for me to carry. Have a Seecamp .32 but have mild reliability issues and feel underpowered. Have a Glock Gen 4 27 but too bulky. So I walked out with the R9 only to later suffer from a case of buyers remorse. Read what I could find online and was even more discouraged. The one thing missing...Hardly anyone talks about how they shoot. If I knew it was going to be a sweet shot I'd keep for sure. Don't want to shoot it and lose the NIB status and value....any feedback...thx!!

margator.  Welcome to the Forum.  The R9 shoots so well, that some of us have two or more.  A lot of times one gets his first one and can't wait to get the next.  Just something about these things.......they do shoot.  Do read the range reports.

And yes!  Shoot yours.  You'll be impressed!

I have to agree with Reinz. I found out about the R9 three years ago. Once I bought, shot and carried my first PUP for about a week, i was hooked. I have stopped looking for the perfect pocket pistol, I have found it!

These things are like rabbits around my house, they just keep multiplying! ;D

I am working on that.

I have to wait for some funds to free up.

It would be a nice addition!
