YHM R9 still viable in 2026?
I know there’s so many other options I can choose from with the innovations in technology since the R9’s inception, but with a budget of about 500 bucks is the R9 still a good option? I don’t need it to be whisper quiet, it’ll go on a 9mm PCC I’ve assembled and probably live there permanently. I know it’s more or less universally praised as a great budget can. My only main concern is it being noted as being pretty gassy, but it’s a dated design so I can understand that. Is there any better option for my 500ish budget, or should I just run with it?
Edit: I’m super appreciative of all the responses, guys. It sounds to me like the R9 is absolutely still good to go- just submitted for the order, super excited to get it in! Now to remember if my barrel is 1/2x28 or 36….
