Yep.  Been reading where some are having bruised fingers and one even had a cut finger from shooting his 340 PD.  However, each one said they still liked it and glad they had it.
My son had bruises on his hands this week after shooting his Glock 22. Of course had fired 1,000 rounds. I am glad I am retired. I don't think I could keep up with the young LEO's anymore.
I can get about 25 rounds of .357 through my 340 and then it is to .38's.

  One of the things I miss about being retired is that now I have to buy all of my own ammo. I used to love it when they would hand me 300 rounds of ball ammo (45 ACP) for range time.  ;D

ehb86.  Thanks for the suggestion.  After two days of thinking, I think I'm going with the 627 with the 2.625" barrel.  I like the looks and it will fulfill my want for a S & W .357 Magnum.  

If you get the chance check out the 627 PC. The trigger is really nice.

That's the one!  Noticed it had a chrome flashed trigger with stop.  Thanks.

 Yes, I have a Hornady Lock-N-Load system. It saves me money most of the time, my problem lately has been breaking in my Wife's Kimber Ultra Raptor. Kimber made a big deal about running factory full powered loads through it for break in.  Took 500 rounds before they concidered it reliable enough to carry.

Will Pick up my new R9S in two days.

It will replace an LCP for work and light clothes days, and a PPS for W/E and winter or heavy weather days. Bought the R9 so I do not have to pic a different CCW depending on the weather or dress for the day. R9 will be in a Crossbreed MiniTuck or Nemisis daily.

Keeping the LCP for days when going into no carry zones. Leave it in the car, locked in a handgun storage box. I would HATE to lose ther R9, but hate it less to lose to LCP to bad guys or thieves.

What if an armed bad guy, as totally unlikely as it sounds ;), decides to disregard the no-carry zone rule, and sticks a gun in your face or even worse, a family member's face, during a robbery?  What if that McDonalds shooting a few years back happened in a no-carry zone, and all those people started to get shot?

I know I would be devastated if i left my gun in the car and came face to face with a violent armed predator.

I know what you mean.

For twenty years I carried concealed illegally before the right to carry was passed in Texas.  I felt very strong about my right to protect myself.

Now that I have my CCW, I obey all the CCW laws completely, in fear of losing my right to carry.

Go figure

You are a better man than I.  I put five +P rounds through my S&W 337 (10.5 ounces) and had a sprained wrist for a week.  

It's gone and the R9 now rides in its place...

I do have the large CT grips on it and it absorbs a lot of the recoil.  I do not have any problems shooting .38's through it.  

I don't carry my R9 much because it is such of work of art I don't want to scar it.  If I have to use it I would be sick to have it sitting in evidence for 2 years before I could get it back.

I would rather them have a $400 pistol.  ;D

Always great to have two Rohrbaughs, RB; not necessary, just good to have.    :)

New guy from MI. Recently purchased my 1rst R9 (R4866) it's a stealth model w/sights. I got the R9 to support my 2 S&W 340pds and my Kahr PM40 for concealed carry. I hope we get big enough for Crimson Trace to take notice but that is most likely for another site. So far I have about 300 rnds. thourgh it and have not taken it completly apart or replaced the spring.So far I'm enjoying the R9 and the site.I bought the 2nd one I ever seen like a pup it was too cute to let lay  :)
