I have never even seen a Modele R in 9mm! Very rare! Given the way the gun is built, I wonder if it is a locked breech or relies on a mondo recoil spring?

As for the Modele D, mine is exquisitely machined. It is a well built pistol, and I am quite pleased with how it handles and shoots. I can't see any downside other than it is a large, steel framed pistol for a small, mild cartridge. Which means it is exceedingly pleasant to fool around with when shooting.

I suppose you could pack one if you were feeling very retro, the safety is well situated, but the sights are not meant for my old eyes.

Tony, You posted your prize recently and I was wondering how you liked it. I saw a couple of versions on Auction Arms that look pretty nice and so far are low budget guns. I thought they might be fun range guns for Jenny and the boys to shoot. It's a shame they don't make many guns like the old Llama .80's that are kind of a scaled down full size gun with a scaled down caliber. I know Miss Melodie likes he Browning .380 1911.

Anyways, these are some of the ones I was looking at:

Well, I guess the hammered version might be more desirable as the price has jumped up sine I last looked. Not as surprising, the 9mm version has far outran the .32 caliber versions.

Still an interesting looking pistol.

Thanks for any thoughts on these or similar.
