Title: Where - do your cases end up?
Post by: R9SCarry on July 18, 2004, 10:56:49 PM

Just idly wondering, where you find your cases end up when shooting the R9.

I am amazed at how far mine travel .. they go to right and a bit rearward ..... for it seems several yards!!  Heck of a job finding them all!  Now and again, they seem to go almost stright up.

The indoor range that I shoot at has barriers on each side of the lane all the way up to the ceiling - the lane barriers are about 4' apart.  That said, when I shoot the R9S, the case hits the side of the barrier, bounces off, and 1 out of 10 times comes back and hits me in the head with quite a bit of force!  I find myself flinching - not from any expected bang or recoil - but from the case coming back at me!  :P  Kind of funny.  My other guns throw the case out to the side much lower.  The R9S seems to throw the case at a high angle.

- Dang - and there's me worried about finding them!  Indeed, they do go pretty high - thus I'd say, why they can travel so far! :o
