Went to the indoor range to run a few rounds through my new Stealth R9S. I hadn't field stripped it yet (couldn't find my 1/16 pin punch), so I pulled the slide back and clamped one hand over it to hold and added a little lube to the little beast. Found some Ballistol and thought I'd try it due to some member's recommendations. Had a mixed bag (really a bag) of ammo...was a mixture of mostly Blazer FMJ and Speer with some kind of frangible bullets. I didn't have any non +P hollow points so I wasn't able to check reliability with hollow points. Using both mags, I shot 50 rounds at a range of 7 yards. The only malfunction of any kind was a light primer strike, or maybe just a hard primer....don't know because it fired on the second pull of the trigger. I wasn't as accurate as I would have liked, but it was me not the pup. All shots were on paper and basically center of mass. I shot each mag full once with strong hand and weak hand, then I shot the rest using both hands. I learned that I shoot closer to point of aim using my weak hand than I do with my strong hand, which was a surprise. I guess my flinch is a little more pronounced with the strong hand, which threw all shots to the left of point of aim. I also learned that 50 rounds is about my limit for a range session with the R9. Trigger kind of gouges the side of my trigger finger where it rubs on the front/bottom of the trigger during recoil. All in all I was pretty pleased with the performance of my Stealth. Next trip I plan on buying a couple of boxes of SD ammo so I can check reliability with hollow points.
