Illustrations of
the R9 compared with other guns and objects
II
|
To supplement previous
pic's, I have taken the following.
They are partly useful and partly ''tongue-in-cheek''
in as much as, some comparisons are wildly ''over the
top''! However, these may still prove of interest, both
as pure comparison as well as outrageously absurd! |
|
The Bersa Thunder
is a useful pocket pistol, if a bit heavy. It is
in .380 cal (9x17) and useful nonetheless. Here
with the R9 we can see it is substantially larger.
|
|
The Browning HiPower
Practical is also 9mm ... and of course a lot
larger. A great carry piece but - look at the
R9's relatively diminutive scale ... and yet also
itself 9mm.
|
|
Here the R9 is
against a CZ-52 ..... hardly the archetypal carry
piece but for some, worth consideration. Quite
a difference in scale!
|
|
The Smith and Wesson
Model 27 (here a M27-2 in 5" bbl) .... is
a large gun by any standards ..... and against
the R9 looks almost gargantuan!
|
|
The Makarov, in
9mm Makarov (9x18) is a popular gun, if only because
of low prices. It is a viable carry piece, very
reliable but as can be seen ........ significantly
larger than R9, and of course heavier also.
|
| The Para Ordnance
P12-45 is quite a compact carry piece but - way
larger than the R9 - and of course much heavier,
but in .45acp cal.
|
|
Kel Tech's P3-AT
is actually smaller than the R9 .. and lighter
but - using the .380 cal round (9x17). A very
pocketable piece but - not in the league of the
Rohrbaugh I would say.
|
|
Another 9mm comparison.
The Ruger P95DC .. against the R9. Big size difference.
The P95 will accept +P ammo but .... is a large
gun to tote, tho I have used mine for carry in
the past quite a bit.
|
|
This Colt Sistema
is effectively a Colt Government model. It is
large and heavy, tho of course using the .45acp
round - a true ''full size''. By comparison, the
R9 is quite a ''shrimp''!!
|
|
Here is my daily
carry - the Ruger SP-101. Significantly larger
than R9 and heavier too. It is relegated however
to non duty when circumstances dicate, when the
R9 takes over as the all but ultimate 9mm pocket
carry..
|
|
My SW99 is quite
a compact 9mm ... tho obviously larger than the
Rohrbaugh. It is however quite light and so a
viable carry option. When push comes to shove
however and concealed has to mean concealed -
it is over to R9 ... for maximum concealability.
|
|
OK - tongue in
cheek here! My Raging Bull in .454 Casull ...
stacked up against the R9. Of course - somewhat
of a difference in scale!
|
|
Hmmm ... no contest
here either! Further tongue in cheek. The BFR
from Magnum Research is chambered in 45-70 ..
it is indeed a large gun!! The R9 is by comparison
rather diminutive but - well - the BFR is hardly
a carry piece!
