Review: the Boberg XR9-S 9mm CCW pistol

SHOOTING VIDEO:    • Shooting the Boberg XR9-S Platinum Edition   This video is longer than I like them to be, but there was a lot to cover! The Boberg XR9-S is an innovative new handgun that recently started hitting the market. Using a unique claw-based feed system, the tiny pistol has a surprisingly long barrel inside its diminutive frame. I initially had some reliability issues as the gun broke in, but lately, it has been running great. It's very picky about ammo, although the same can be said for a lot of other pocket pistols. Overall, I like it a lot and I'm glad I have it, but I think the Boberg will face some challenges gaining traction in the market due to its price to perceived value ratio. Is the extra muzzle energy and velocity worth the $500+ premium over other small CCW pistols? I can't answer that for you, but it remains to be seen if buyers will line up after the early adopters grab their Bobergs.
