 Sooooo, the Rohrbaugh replaced a Jeep? (Keeping in the spirit of this thread)  <grin>

Ah, I knew I would forget something, those damn 80s, there was a Beretta model 85, 13 shot .380 with walnut grips. What a pleasure that was to fire. Grips were a little large for carry, but there was also two other Berettas, one 25 cal and one 22 cal. I am probably leaving something out. The Berettas were all truly nice pistols.

Man I hated my Beretta 85.  Could not stand it.  >:(   Too heavy for CC and 380 rounds were bad at the time IMO.  Bought it right out of college just before the high cap mag went into effect (1994).  So after the high cap mag rules expired, got back into shooting and sold the 85 and replaced with a Glock 19.   :D  Course a 19 is usually too large for CC, so R9  8) joins a S&W 638 w/CT and they share carry duties.

The new pup, when it arrives, will replace a Glock Model 36 and share duty with a Kel-Tec P3AT. The pup will most-likely be the replacement for the Kel-Tec, as well, or until I decide that a Seecamp is necessary.

Danny.  You may just want a Seecamp; a fine little gun to own.

Yeah, kj, that is what I am afraid of! I have been looking, but have not pulled the trigger. I had first better wait on the new pup before making that decision.

There's plenty of time.  No need to jump in.  The Seecamp's will be there.  Sometimes harder to get.  I hear waiting times for a new .380 from the factory is now 1 1/2 years, however, they are available from individuals.  Enjoy the pup when it arrives.

Could be.  They now have a list to be called when they start taking orders again.  Can't even put an order in for one now.  So see, you have plenty of time to decide.    :D

That'll work.  Wonderful to have a couple R9's.    ;D

I think that my next Rohrbaugh will be an R-45. I am a big fan of .45 ACP. However, there is a waiting list for that as well. Here I sit waiting!  :(

My R9S should be here in about a week.  I'm hoping it will replace my HK PSP...

Is the seecamp a better made pistol than the rohrbaugh?
