I was able to make it to the range agian today. I am happy to report that things were much improved. I shot the R9S first this time, I left the Ed Brown alone untill I had a chance to put the R9S to a test. I shot Gold Dot, 147, and 115 grain. In around 50 rounds, no malfunctions of any kind. I would advise agianst using WWB. I know it is accepted by other members here, but in my humble opinion, it is too dirty. WWB left tons of brass all over the inside of the slide. After an equal amount of rounds of Gold Dot, no brass, and less fouling. I know how cheap it is to buy WWB, but your not saving any thing. Having a defense pistol that never hiccups at the range is priceless. The difference in price between cheap ammo and good ammo is nothing when you pull the trigger and you aren't sure what will happen.
Beyond that, the R9s is very accurate. It is not an easy gun to shoot, the recoil is sharp, and the grip is slick. But, the trigger is as good as it gets. Smooth, and consistent. No stacking or creep. The gun points like your finger. If you do your part, the gun will make a hole right where the sight rests. I will need to practice a bit more, but so far I am able to shoot groups good enough for government work.
I am looking into getting the front strap and back strap checkered. It needs a bit more grip in my opinion. If you guys could point me in the direction for some solid 25LPI work, I would appreciate it. I saw some 40LPI pics on here. Anyone do 25LPI? Lead time and price would be great if any of you have already had it done. Thanks agian!
