I am really not that good
« on: March 06, 2017, 04:54:40 PM »
FINALLY got a chance to shoot my R9, I ordered Fed 9th. First 4 shoot group was 1.4 inch center to center from 21 feet. I can easily do that with my High Standard Sharpshooter but was shocked that a 9mm was that accurate. I shoot 3 times a week but this was definitely the R9 not me.

Eric, Rick, thanks for building not only a beautiful gun but a REALLY accurate one.

People say small guns can't be accurate.  BS.  They are just harder to shoot.  My NAA mini-revolvers shoot great.  It doesn't get much smaller than those.  If the shooters does what the shooter is supposed to do, little guns work great.

The R9 has great ergonomics and a great trigger.  What more could you want?   ;)

Before firing it I THOUGHT of it as a 'belly gun' but I can win some bets at the range with this.

I checked the trigger pull. On my Timney Guage it registered 7 pounds. That is fantastic on a small DAO auto.

6 1/2 to 7 pounds is about right Kevin. and I'm not sure who you are referring to (Rick?), perhaps you mean my brother. . . Karl.

Glad you like the R9 Kevin. Wow!. . . . . 1.4" grouping at 21 feet. . . . Sweet shooting there Sir!

Keep up the good work. . . . .

OOPS! Karl is who I meant, I was talking to a friend, Rick, when I wrote that.

I do shoot three times a week but I am NOT that good. That was the gun perfectly pointing, smooth trigger, and precision manufacturing that did it. I just stood there and smiled.  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
