Just picked up my new Boberg XR9-S this morning

Postby josh2415 on Wed Sep 14, 2011 3:29 pm

I just picked up my new XR9-S from Boberg Arms this morning - what a work of art! Fit and finish is perfect, as I knew it would be, and the trigger pull is the smoothest of any gun I own. The barrel length is about the same as my Ruger SR9c (3.35" vs 3.5"), but the Boberg is SO much smaller in comparison - I'll try to post pics tomorrow.
Congratulations Arne on a truly outstanding and innovative product! I wish you and Boberg Arms tremendous success!

Looks like one of those cigarette lighter guns. How much did it cost?

The XR9s currently lists for $950 - less expensive than a Rohrbaugh R9, which is similar in size and quality. Plus, the XR9s barrel is almost 0.5" longer, AND has much less felt recoil. Sorry to sound like a used car salesman, just excited that this product has finally made it to the market.

From that overlay, the grip angle and contour of the Boberg looks much more comfortable than the Rohrbaugh, but I couldn't swing the price for either one. No need for that SR9c now, let me know if you decide to sell it (seriously)!! ;) .

Looks to me like you could lose part of a finger on your support hand, if you're not careful.

Love the SR9c, won't be getting rid of it anytime soon - though, you'll be the first to know if I ever change my mind. ;)
