ROUND #2

[R9SCarry]

Rooster - welcome from me too

Sharp - please - find a way to avoid this proceedure of yours.  I can see why but - it makes me shudder.  A gun is less use than a club if empty - and the lil' R9 well, not even a club!!

If necessary then yeah a touch pad safe - something - so as to keep the pup loaded.  Even a place of total concealment whilst in bed ... as long as gun is within your personal control.

As for rechambering - I think in many guns the top round will inevitably suffer long term.  That is why I and I think Duane may do similar - when practice time comes around I will shoot off my much carried rounds and load afresh - apart from any practice with std ammo.

Do not depend on electronic locks.  Stick with mechanical ones.

EXACTLY! The V-Line stuff doesn't use any electronics.

Sharp (et.all),

        Regarding your original problel of Dented Cases - It may not be from the internals of the pistol.

Is it possible that the dents on the Cartridge are comming from the repeated process of re-inserting the round that( you took out ) back into the clip each morning.  

Think about it- to insert that ejected round you have to push down on the top round in the clip with the base  of the round that you are loading into the clip  - this can cause an indentation in the case of the round below - especially  if you are loading the last round in a full clip and it requires a lot of downward force  AND you do this repeatedly.

This situation happens to me on my Tarus PT145 - when I take out my carryload and replace it with target loads to go practice.  I noticed that after awhile my carry loads start to show wear and dents in the cases from repeated unloading and loading cycles.  

Just a thought.


Hey evererybody else-   I'm new on the forurm and am currently doing my research on the best / smallest conceled carry pistol to get.  I just got my carry permit a week or so back.  Came across the R9's and found the forum.  I don't have and R9 but am considering it - hope you don't mind if I ask a question or two and throw in a comment now and again.

Welcome duke3k!

Until I got my R9, I had been through a host of guns trying to find the best carry pistol for me.  I've been through a Glock 32C, then a H&K USP, a Kimber Ultra CDP, and now the R9.  In my case, the R9 is the end of the road for me.

I'm sure you will find all sorts of great information on this site regarding the R9 and all sorts of comparisons to other guns that some of the more experienced members have carried, as well.

Plus, you get to ask questions, if you don't see what you are looking for!

Duke - welcome!!

I think you will find much info to help you .... take a peek at my FAQ link in my sig .. that'll get you to other stuff which might interest you.  And - if you have the patience I can but recommend you do some searches here or - simply trawl thru old posts ... we have covered a lot here in under a year!

Enjoy.
