Welcome to our newest Forum -- for the R-380

--- Quote ---It is official! The R-380 will be produced. This is, for lack of a better description, and R-9 chambered in .380 ACP.
The R-380 will look identical to the current R-9, but will have a different breech face, extractor, ejector, barrel and magazine.
As I mentioned in another thread, I had the privilege of shooting the R-380 prototype up at the original Farmingdale factory over two years ago. What a sweet gun! The recoil is negligible. It is nothing like shooting a blowback style gun like the NAA .380 Guardian. The 380 is a real pussycat and will be very popular.
The R-380 will be the answer for people who don't like, or can't handle, the recoil of the 9mm.

Duane,
I am particularly interested in this for my skilled but recoil sensitive wife. What other guns would you say are the closest comparison to the recoil of the R380?
Thanks.
DDGator:
As I recall, it was truly neligible. Less than any pocket .380 I have ever fired. Less than a KT .32 ACP. Maybe along the lines of a Ruger Mark II? It won't bother anyone.

I have some on order, the price is the same as the standard R9s. Tom
