Design
{{Main|Browning Hi-Power|Smith & Wesson Model 59}}
The P9RC is the slightly modified version of the P9R, a design based on the Browning Hi-Power and Smith & Wesson Model 59.
There are 4 notable differences: the guide rod assembly, the bottom part of the barrel (on which the tilting barrel locking system works), the wider extractor and the grips.
Earlier P9Rs had wooden grips, later ones came with plastics as well, while P9RCs were made with plastics only.
