>>I have two main reasons for wanting an R-380... I sorta collect .380s - mostly small out of production Colts but more modern ones too - like a Seecamp .380. At this point in life the guns I collect are all ones I shoot = no wall hangers here. And having shot the prototype R-380 I can honestly say it is the most pleasant and accurate .380 I've ever handled...those guys had me hook, line, and sinker a couple years ago while I still had the prototype in hand.
The other reason is it's a Rohrbaugh...which I'm hoping won't cost much more than a standard R-9. I hope the fancy collectors edition R-9s sell well for the guys but as far as I'm concerned that market is in a way, far away galaxy from where I'm at with guns...which is fine...to each their own, and I dare say I think these Rohrbaugh Collectors editions will do nothing but increase in value in the years to come...
But dang it - I want my R-380...!...TW<<
