Title: Additions to the pup
Post by: yankee2500 on November 27, 2010, 10:25:02 AM
If you could have features added to the pup at the factory what would they be?

I'm not suggesting everyone has something they would like different or added to the pup. But I'm sure some have thought I wish the pup had ?? or this would be perfect for me if ?? :D

Well, wishful thinking; but.....maybe mag release in a different place; no problem where it is, but if I could wish!    :)

     I would like the bore made larger and R-.45 added to the slide.  ;D Seriously, I like mine just as they are.     Gene

2 point sight reference like a Kahr or Walther PPK

the white U like a Glock G26 would also be acceptable

something that could make for a head shot

Exactly.  Does it help?  Could you make a head shot better with them than without them if you had to?

If sights are better than no sights, as most of us seem to think given sales of the R9s vs. the R9, better sights would be; um, even more better.

I'd like to see 2 white dots on the stealth and will probably do something like that on mine.  But it should be done at the factory.

Given time to acquire a sight picture at an appropriate distance yes, in what I would imagine an SD situation would be I wouldn't even try, center of mass and start shooting.
  I don't think you will ever see the factory add sight dots of any description.

It would be nice if the factory offered a hard chromed model; just another wish.  I know that won't happen.

1.  A magazine release in the standard location or as on the Beretta Tomcat.

2.  A Slide stop

3.  As long as I'm wishing....  A 7 round factory magazine with grip extension.

Eric once indicated to me that the slide stop on the prototype was eliminated from the production models in the interests of keeping things as lean, clean, and simple as possible. Fewer operational parts equal fewer things to go wrong in a "micro 9mm."

I can understand that and maybe thats why the grips are as thick as they are on the proto type to accommodate the workings.

Yep!  I can understand it, too, but man, that would be nice to have.  Just wishing, again!

Checkered/stippled front and rear would be a nice choice.  I think most of us use some kind of tape - which is OK, but its something which I think really should be on the gun.

I agree 100%, it just makes a gun feel secure in your hand when there is checkering on the front and rear.

When I was chatting with Karl Rohrbaugh at last year's SHOT show, I told him the only thing I'd like better was if it had my name engraved on it instead of his.

Truely a masterpiece of engineering and industrial design.
