The Boberg XR9s is a unique little pocket 9 which shoots like a much bigger gun. A little spendy, but you get what you pay for. Another 9 I'd like to add to my collection would be the SA XDs9 (when it comes out).

Be sure to contact Crimson Trace to request one - the more requests they get, the better the chance of them making one. Sent from my HTC Glacier using Tapatalk

Heck yeah! I'm always amazed by those who whine about "stopping power" - as some have already said, having ANY gun in a self-defense situation is better than having no gun, and the ease of carrying a small 380 helps to ensure that you'll have one with you for that VERY RARE occurrence when you...

Here's a response from Boberg (from his website) regarding this: "As far as the source of any dings on empty cases - they usually hit the "ejection port hood" which has to be there to trap the round for reliable feeding. This is a tight area and will be a considerable design challenge to get...

You're right StrikeFire, I missed that rather significant point in the original post.

You bring up valid points Jesse. Regarding bullet separation, this is a KNOWN issue and is addressed in the operators manual. It only happens with a couple specific brands of older cheap ammunition that have poor or non-existant crimps. There have been no seperation issues with quality defense...

So... did you place an order?

I wonder how long it would take any of us to invent and design a radically new handgun, build and thoroughly test working prototypes, then develop a manufacturing process from the ground up, all with our own financial resources - I'm guessing more than 8.5 years.

Knowing Arne, he's thought this through far enough that I can't imagine there being any surprises. Wouldn't you think that several prototypes and thousands of test rounds would have flushed out any "systemic flaws"? Guess only time will tell. This I know for sure though, that there's no great...

The spring is formed to seat squarely at the top of the magazine housing when there are no rounds loaded - lips on the housing retain the spring. Pretty simple.

Nice observation - and you're correct. Sent from my HTC Glacier using Tapatalk

Ditto on the PF9 - inexpensive and easy to carry.

I ordered mine through a local sporting goods store here in MN - they said that it could take months before I get it though. No hurry.

I don't own one, but I have one on order. Almost all the negative reviews that I've read on this pistol were from early models. There are a lot of recent reviews online that are very positive, just do a few Google searches. From what I've read, the early issues have all been resolved. Here's...

...better yet, a XR9 Shorty - smaller than the PM9 but with a 3.3" barrel.
