Browsing the local Sportsman's Warehouse this morning and noticed that they had some Remington RP9's on the wall for $299. Did some mental calculations, and figuring the military discount plus tax it would be about $310 out the door for me. Even the Turkish guns aren't usually that cheap, so Remington can't be making very much profit on this model (or maybe they are - I don't know). Talking with the counter guy, he remarked that even when these go on sale for $250 there's hardly any takers.
The RP9 was brutally roasted when it was introduced (I've heard it referred to, rightly or wrongly, to as "the Beretta M9 for the New Century"). More recent reviews have been kinder, with many folks saying that it's a decently accurate and reliable range gun. It's RP45 cousin has since been introduced with generally favorable reviews.
So, it seems the consensus is that the RP9/RP45 should work fine as long as you don't get it wet or muddy. Anyone actually own one of these?
