"Last week I fired Speer Lawman, Gold Dots, Winchester Silvertips, Remington Golden Sabres, all without a hitch...no failures to feed or to fire and no separations."

"Most authorities that I have heard do NOT recommend the Teflon coating on pistols.  I've been using EEZOX on my Seecamp (recommended by Larry Seecamp) but also on my Rohrbaugh R9 and the XR9S with no problems whatsoever (I was initially…"

"Whoops, responded to page one and missed Arne's response above.  "NEVER MIND!""

"Mine doesn't eject towards my head, firing as a right hander...they may come close although I've not actually watched the trajectory when shooting.  Could this be something to do with variation in movement of the ejector (starts to…"

"Add me to the list for another magazine.  Thanks!"

"I tried to ship a pistol overnight UPS insured for $1800 and was quoted $138 at Boxworks.  That is too much, but so is $72 when it represents almost 10% of the price of the pistol!  Arne, Karl Rohrbaugh ships 2 day UPS...his staff states…"

"Excellent range report and impressive shooting skills!  I do wish I could shoot weak hand like that.  I agree that the XR9 is simply a joy to shoot and is amazingly accurate.  What ammo did you use?"

"I bought mine from a friend who had two, so no waiting at all, although I did pay a small premium (nowhere near what those on GunBroker seem to go for).  Still on the list though because I registered mid-Dec. 2011 and may buy another then."

"You are gonna love them...I can't believe how great that ugly pug nosed little thing is to carry and shoot.  Kind of like having a pet bulldog...beautiful in the owner's eyes!"

"And a friend of mine, a range instructor, was teaching his girlfriend with a .22 auto when a hot casing went into her cleavage...she turned towards him and put a round through his right arm into his right lung...he's doing OK now, but…"

"OUCH!!  I wear glasses anyway and all are plastic.  I also have a bifocal lens in a set of sports goggles that I wear when firing any new (to me) weapon and any of my antique rifles. "

"As has been expressed on several pistol forums, it comes down to the fact that quality assurance at the production level has suffered since 2008.  Each box can be different.  On the Seecamp forum we measure each round as they must be less…"

"Any of you that were beaned left handed shooters?  I am a righty and have put about 200 rounds through it with no problem. Ejected cases come by close on the right or high on the right depending on ammo and grip.   I've used various…"

"Do you have a link?  I could not find it"

"I resurrected this thread when I came across this post originally from the AR15 forum about self defense.  I think it is right on the button and worth reading....could save your…"
