Emjimb,

Welcome to the forum.

Glad to hear you have the new R9.  You are at the right place, to meet all the fine R9 owners.

I'm just coming up on my first 50 rounds, and the gun will receive its first cleaning at that time.

Never tried the Bore Snake.  I've spent tons of money on cleaning kits (really cheap ones), and finally decided to get the Otis kit which does both rifles and pistols.  It contains unique patches with multiple slots, such that one patch fits all when you fold them a certain way.

Welcome, again.

Bill

Emjimb, Welcome to the forum. You will enjoy posting and reading all the great info here on your new pup.
I would follow Karl's suggestion. Give us a range report, when you can.      Tom

Emjimb,

Let me also welcome you to the forum.  I highly agree with Brenden.  Go to Chris's (R9SCARRY) site and learn.  Let us know how it shoots.  If you been reading the posts you will see the recommended ammo.

Emjimb:

Welcome to the Forum.

As for cleaning, I am one of those obsessive/compulsive types who cleans a pistol after every trip to the range, regardless of the number of rounds fired.  Old habits die hard.

I use a Bore Snake on long guns but not on pistols or revolvers.

Congrats,

  I sit and wait patiently for the time when I'll be able to get my hands on the pup that I ordered.
