Title: Finally, after 10 months...
Post by: harrydog on August 26, 2005, 05:32:40 PM
I finally received my R9S after ordering it back in October. Interesting that the serial number is R25x.
I had handled one before, so no surprise as to the fit & finish. I'm really looking forward to taking it to the range, but won't be able to do it until next week.
How many rounds should I put through it before I consider it broken in and reliable for carry? Not too many I hope.
Now I just need a holster. Is RJ taking orders again?

harrydog:

Congratulations!  Let us know your impressions from the first range session.  I'm betting that you're going to love it.

RJ may check in, but if he misses this thread send him a PM.

Two observations I'd like to mention.

1)  I field stripped the gun today and it was surprisingly easy! I'd been expecting a real nightmare based on all the posts I'd read about how difficult it was but I found it to be easier to disassemble and reassemble than my Kahr K9 or even my 1911's. No problem at all. That's a real relief.

2)  It was very clean and well lubed as it came from the factory, so I didn't bother to clean it. I just added a tiny bit more grease, which wasn't really needed, but I tend to err on the side of over lubing my guns. Maybe I will clean and re-lube it before I shoot it, but if I don't get the chance, it won't matter.

I like what I see so far...

Congratulations on your new pistol, harrydog.  Glad to see you were able to get the Hedley holster, too.  It's a perfect combination.

It was good to see your favorable report about re-assembly.   Mine will be getting a workout this weekend and come apart for the first time.
