How About Some Tools!
« on: July 22, 2009, 08:36:58 PM »
How can Rohrbaugh make such a fine weapon and then let you figure out how to take it apart and put it back together without some furnished tools. Before I baught my R380S I read it was so easy to assemble and breakdown that anyone could do it. You bet. It seems most of you have found a way to do this as I have but it sure would have been nice had they included some tools to do the job. Am I missing something here? Do you think they will do something about this in the future?

Well the fact that there have been a few thousand sold in the last five years leads me to believe the answer is no.

Choppers ,



I am with you- it would only make sense that Rohrbaugh includes and/or offered some approved tools.

I carry my R9S everyday and really don't want to spend a lot of time learning the "cleaning curve" Life is already so busy. With that said, if your spending this type of money for a pistol.. you would think it would be easier to maintain and include the proper tools.

Ok-I realize I am a newbie to Rohrbaugh's and I know this gun is very special and not for everyone. Trust me.. I did my research and heard all of the cleaning stories etc. So I knew what I was getting into.. I just wish it was a bit easier to breakdown.

I may even look for a gunsmith in Atlanta that is truly familiar with the R9S and simply pay someone to clean and lube the gun.

The bottom line- the gun is incredible quality,has a learning curve,but needless to say its the Rolls Royce of guns.

As Tom said elsewhere ... describing in detail how to make inexpensive disassembly aids ... q-tip (cut off) & fuse pulling pliers mod ... I use the q-tip and hands to position the slide for takedown and then a modeling clamp for the spring.  Until you get the knack of the slide position, try a wooden or plastic clothes pin or scrap wood.  Another two cents ...
