I must have missread the past articles on the XR9 shorty and took it to be a pocket gun. I also can just guess that the Boberg XR9 will be costly and IMO is rather large for the pocket.
Comparisson of the two most popular pocket guns in my area and the XR9:
Ruger LCP Barrel 2.75", OA length 5.16", OA height3.6", width 0.82", weight 9.4 oz, cost $330
NAA Guardian Barrel 2.5", OA length 4.75", height 3.53", width 0.93", weight 18.72 oz, cost $450
Boberg XR9 Caliber: 9mm, Barrel Length: 4.2” ,
Length: 5.8”, Height: 4.2”,
Width: 0.95” ,Weight: 19.5 oz with magazine, price not available
I would like a 9MM backup but not one that is as large as my primary CC XD40 sub compact. The weight is not a problem as much as the size of the Boberg XR9 for me.
