The XR9-L promotes accuracy and low recoil via an exclusive “mid-buffer” that absorbs the very harsh jarring normally caused by the barrel stopping against the frame. The pistol comes with an integrated picatinny rail to support several commercial lasers and flashlights. Using select 9mm +P ammunition, this pistol generates over 500 ft-lbs of muzzle energy with felt recoil similar to .380 ACP. Using standard-pressure 9mm ammunition, the XR9-L produces felt recoil similar to .22 LR. The XR9-L’s longer barrel is interchangeable with the XR9-S Shorty, but the slide and recoil spring/guide rod are not interchangeable. The XR9-L also includes 2 magazines, carry case, and safety lock.
