Boberg XR9-L (Full-Size) Pistol Performance Results
Using forty-seven styles of commonly available 9mm ammo during testing, the XR9 Full-Size produced 28% more kinetic energy than the "Brand A" pocket pistol in the chart at right, and 8% more kinetic energy than the "Full-Size D" brand pistol:
  • Pocket Pistol A is .2" shorter
  • Pocket Pistol B is identical in size
  • Sub-Compact C is .7" longer
  • Full-Size D is 2.0" longer

 

This increase in kinetic energy translates into deeper penetration than pistols of similar dimensions, and equivalent penetration to pistols of much longer overall length.  This is due to the Boberg XR9's patented design which integrates a full-size pistol barrel into a pocket-pistol form factor.

Boberg XR9-S (Shorty) Pistol Gives Glock G26 Performance

The XR9-S (Shorty) pistol duplicates the ballistics of the Glock 26 "Baby Glock" but does it in a gun the same size as the smallest pocket pistols such as the Rohrbaugh R9/R9s, Kel-Tec P3AT and Beretta Tomcat.

At left you can see the size difference between the Boberg XR9-S (Shorty) in blue and the Glock 26 in red. The XR9-S Shorty grip is the same size as the G26.

  • The XR9-S Shorty is fraction of the size of the Glock 26.
  • The XR9-S Shorty delivers the same amount of stopping power as the G26 because it has the same size internal barrel and is able to shoot high-pressure ammunition just as the Glock does.

The Boberg XR9-S (Shorty) Delivers 98% Of Glock G26 Muzzle Energy
