Title: Range Time with the Bosnian Beast: The RS9 Vampir
Ever wondered what a $1,400 Bosnian handgun brings to the table? Let me introduce you to the RS9 Vampir – a DA/SA 9mm that’s been kicking butt with Bosnian Special Anti-Terrorist Units since 2020. Imported by TCH Arms and crafted by TRB, this bad boy descends from the Zastava CZ-99 but with a modern twist. We’re talking a shared decocker/slide-stop lever, polygonal rifling, a whopping 18+1 capacity, and reliable Mec-Gar mags. TCH boasts that this very test gun chewed through 12,000 rounds, while its threaded sibling, the RS9X, handled 7,000 with 4,500 suppressed. On the range, it vibes like a P226/REX-01 but with a single-action pull that puts my German P226 to shame. Sure, it’s pricey and lacks an optics-ready option with a slim aftermarket, but if you’re looking for a professional-grade sidearm that’s been battle-tested, the RS9 Vampir might just be your new best friend.
