>>Based on everything you've said on this thread, the assumption you are looking for a .380, and that you are in somewhat of a hurry to decide / move on it... <<Not really in a rush to buy it but I was looking to buy something and when I saw that PPK which I've been wanting for YEARS, I just gave in and got one.
Sure would like to see... ...Rohrbaugh come out with a beef'ed up version of the R9 that's the size of the P9 or the PPK.
Hint, Hint. Are you listening Rohrbaugh?
E-mail to the factory is turned off for now. It was getting too burdensome for them. For the forseeable future, its best to try and reach them by phone. Maria will field most of the calls that are not technical in nature.IMHO, email is a major customer service tool. Turning it off is like disconnecting your phone service and just answering delivered mail. It doesn't stem demand for consumer information, it just makes the information more difficult to access.
Its a fact of life -- these guys are growing and having to do business a little differently--i.e., more like the way everyone else does.
E-mail may come back or may not. We will have to wait and see.
Maybe work thru your dealer and ask them to find answers to your questions. This will limit the calls & contacts,which will ease up the situation for Rohrbaugh. Just a thought. Tom
I think the forum is the place to go right now for tech info and range test reports. But we might let the Rohrbaugh dealers call Maria and ask customer service questions, after all they are Rohrbaugh's customers, plus it would limit the number of calls. The mark of a good dealer is also based on customer service. Let the dealer field the questions on when their orders will ship and then give that information to their customers. By easing up on the number of calls and contacts to Rohrbaugh, they can get on with the business of making guns and filling orders. This might make the whole Rohrbaugh family more happy,which includes all of us. Tom
When I purchased my R9S I tried to go through a dealer and even WANTED to go through a dealer because I wanted to trade in another gun but no dealer would work with me and I had to buy the gun directly from Eric -- transferred through a dealer, of course, but I purchased it directly from the factory.
Is that going to be changing?
