Lets compare apples to apples, not overpriced Smith revolvers.......

--------- XR-9-S --- LC9
Length --- 5.1 --- 6.0
Width --- .96 --- .90
Height --- 4.2 --- 4.5
Bbl --- 3.35 --- 3.12
Capacity --- 7 --- 7
List --- $995 --- $525

Lets see.....close in size, similar materials and construction, one from a proven company, ones not. One uses a common operating system, one uses a odd, unproven system. Barrel length comparsion- .23" difference, shows Boberg is using BS pr on their website, so power about equal. Price, HUGE difference!!!! What is the street price on a Boberg??? Nothing listed on Gunbroker, LC9 pricing on Gunbroker runs $275 to $375. I think the answer is pretty easy, as to which one to buy. And which company is trying screw money from the gun buying public.
