This model is built to run on Colt Commando pattern magazines, which is handy if you have been in the 9mm AR game for a while. A 16-inch barrel means no stamps necessary on this new offering, and the barrel itself has a very unique \u201cchain link\u201d fluting system. It looks pretty cool on the stainless barrel, and helps reduce the weight on the system. The gun is very lightweight, which is a nice feature on a PCC. I don\u2019t think any of us are concerned about 200m groups with 9mm, but weight is absolutely an issue in this class of weapon.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_69203\" style=\"width: 1074px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/DSC00430.jpeg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"rock-river-arms-9mm-r9-competition-shot-show-2017\" title=\"Rock River Arms 9mm R9 Competition\u2014SHOT Show 2017\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-69203\" title=\"Rock River Arms 9mm R9 Competition\u2014SHOT Show 2017\" class=\"size-full wp-image-69203\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/DSC00430.jpeg\" alt=\"Rock River Arms 9mm R9 Competition\u2014SHOT Show 2017\" width=\"1064\" height=\"710\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/DSC00430.jpeg 1064w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/DSC00430-150x100.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/DSC00430-400x267.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/DSC00430-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/DSC00430-1024x683.jpeg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1064px) 100vw, 1064px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-69203\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The carbine&#8217;s barrel has very distinctive fluting for added visual flair.<\/p><\/div>\n<h2><strong>Price and Availability<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The R9 Competition Carbine is priced at $1,565 and should be available on the market soon.
