Nice shooter. I look forward to the range report. I saw the one at GRB this weekend and it was nice!
Re: Finally A 9mm That Fits The Pocket
That's interesting...a PM9 is only .09" wider than the R9S...and only .1" longer. Oh, and about 1 oz. heavier. So I guess I'm failing to see how a PM9 is "too heavy and thick," since it's, for all practical purposes, the same size.carlson1 wrote:I found the Khars to heavy and thick for the pocket.Aggie_engr wrote:What did you not like may I ask about the kahr weapons carlson?

Every little bit counts! I wear a lot of suits and suit pants do not hold up as well as blue jeans.

John Farnam asked Rohrbaugh about this one time at a SHOT show a couple years ago (2007, to be precise). Rohrbaugh told him +P would not break the pistol, just shorten its life. John did not that think that would be an issue for him or many others, since after a dozen rounds he was ready to put it down for awhile. I guess 9mm recoil is a bit more zippy out of a Keltec size gun. But of course it is not a service pistol, and not meant for an afternoon of plinking at the range -- it is a semi-auto snubby.

Re: Finally A 9mm That Fits The Pocket
Just curios, how does the extended mag work with the European style catch?

Our good friend Robert Locke in San Antonio makes beautiful pocket and IWB holsters for R9s. He's using exotic leathers now too. Look him up Meco Pocket Holsters if you are looking for something nice to carry it in.

He's one of my husband's best friends! WOOHOO! I'm happy for you. Aside from being a fantastic friend, his skill with leather is amazing! I'm glad you connected with him!carlson1 wrote:I talked to Robert yesterday and have already ordered my holster.
