Best fit handgun I've ever owned, or even had in my hands for that matter. I own 2 Ed Brown 1911's (which are incredible), Colt Special Combat Competition Series 1911's, and several other high quality firearms and I can tell you people doubting or leaving negative comments you are horribly wrong. This pistol shows what quality craftsmanship and precision machining can do. I think that most of you people cant justify the cost, but if you could, you wouldn't be talking bad about these.

@adamytacct Well stated sir! 

[kowskiman]

do any of these whinny asshole accually own a r9 because there not pieces of shit, yes they are expensive but so are bentleys.... yes they need a new spring after 200 rounds but that is minor these guns take alot of beating for being the lightest and smallest 9mm luger on the market. so shut the fuck up cheap basterds

@kowskiman Well said!

@edteach2u That is a very simplistic, misinformed, and ignorant review of this handgun. There is absolutely no comparison in workmanship and quality, let alone a 9mm to .380 caliber, to a Taurus.

@JohnBT333 you're a fake ass gear snob. end of story. the R9 is made for people that dont think they need to train. you know, the same kind of assholes that think buying a 300k ferrari makes them an F1 professional driver. till you hit a brick wall

@devcon67 What constant attention? Mine is running perfectly after 5 years and I bought it used. If I wanted to carry a 17-ounce gun I'd just carry a 15.8 ounce S&W 442 or my 23 ounce Model 649 .357.

[JohnBT333]

@IzInAZ You clearly don't understand gun design when it comes to tiny guns. The high wear rate on the spring is the result of designing a gun so small and light that the slide puts a beating on the spring. Sure, redesign the gun with a larger slide, but then it's no longer a tiny gun, is it? It's a $4.95 spring, no big deal if you have a job. One spring is the price of a pack of Marlboro's at 7-11.

@LeaveItToBeaner You're giving advice about what's smart and what's not and you can't spell or use a shift key. What a joke.

If you can't shoot a Rohrbaugh it's because you haven't practiced enough. Or you're just a bad shooter. You and your mid-priced $1400 1911 and your multiple assailants are a laugh.

love my R9 and as for the people who bitch about the spring needing replaced so often?i replace the springs in my 1911's too really is a sweet pocket pistol,less recoil than my Seecamp .380 and much better trigger just my 2 cents

[YIDfuck]

This gun comes with instructions that say to change the recoil spring after 200 rounds. I am up to over 400 rounds already, and never had a FTF or FTE. That recommendation is apparently quite conservative. I have the "Stealth" model, and it shoots just as well this week, as when I first got it.

[YIDfuck]

The purpose of this gun was to be the smallest 9MM on the market. If you want to have a 9MM instead of a .380 in your pocket, and you want the smallest one around so you will be most likely to carry it at all times, this is the gun.

[LeaveItToBeaner]

@kowskiman theres a difference between being cheap and being smart. smart is spending 1400 on a 1911 because its a handgun you can fight with, not some yuppy boutique handgun that is more of a status symbol than a practical self defense option. i give it that its small, hell its the smallest around. but why buy a handgun you cant train with? the felt recoil is too high to be able to be effective on multiple assailants. hell the mag heel catch makes it slow on the reload too!

That loooonnngggg trigger pull reminds me why I sold my Ruger lc9 after shooting only 150 rounds. I got rid of it because my hand started cramping because of the trigger pull being so far back. Couldn't take the pain of the cramps so I sold it. Bye bye Ruger lc9 and every other real small conceal weapon made out there,
