Gun Tests pans R9s

[Ben S]

As far as ammo picks, so far the one I like best (cost is very much an issue) is the Federal HST that CDNN is selling for $9.99 a box of 50.

Hi Jim:

Where in the thumb do you live? Although I live in St Clair Shores, I've bought a slew of guns from Randy's Hunting Center in Bad Axe.

[FJC]

Congrats on ordering and welcome to the forum, Jim!  I have mine on order with Performance Firearms as well.

[Jim]

Thanks for the welcome George and Frank, I appreciate it.  George, I live in Caro about 25 miles for Bad Axe and I also help keep Randy in business!!!!  Hey Frank, how long a wait do you expect from Performance Firearms on your R9?  You fellows have a great weekend, your friend,,   Jim

The "fair use" exception could have possibly applied, but there are several factors to consider.  Fair use is more likely to apply when you don't reproduce the work in its entirety.

Likely nothing would have happened, but why invite trouble?

Good afternoon, New here to the board,
 I have been testing and shooting the R9's for a couple of months now and reporting the results to Karl and Eric.      

How many rounds so far?

[GeorgeH]

What I haven't seen a coment about is the fact that the Gun Test article mentioned that some of the test shooters preferred the Rohrbaugh over the PM 9.

What I would have preferred would have been a review of the Rohrbaugh with the Seecamp 380. These are both new guns, and both pocketguns. That would have made more sense to me than a PM9 v Rohrbaugh article.

I agree, that would be a good comparison.

I think their opinion it much like mine, very narrow sometimes.  
  Their main goal is selling copy.

Well..I probably shouldn't open my very vast and big mouth..but "I yam..what I yam..and that's all what I yam!"

My whole life has been "guns" in some form...making my living from them..in one way or another since I became an adult in 1968.

For the sake of argument..please except..I know guns.

I have seen them all..big and small.

As a top line holster maker..I have a wall covered with all of them.  I own the Micro-Kahrs and several of the new and rare Rohrbaugh R9 pistols...and many..many ...others.

They are both fine pistols..and I am a big fan of the Kahr guns..however...the little Rohrbaugh R9 is just a sweet deal.

I've now put over 750 rds. of Speer Gold Dot..124 gr. JHP through mine..without a problem.

I have been written up well in "Gun Tests" in the past..and I like the magazine...however...I don't agree with them on this one.

They may have teated this pistol over a week or so...but I've been testing pistols for a lifetime..and this one..is the "real deal".

I wouldn't say that...for anyone I know...if I didn't believe it.

Best,
Ronbo-San

Welcome Pale_Horse - glad to have your input.

up to 500 rounds now...mixture of 124 gr. Gold Dot and PMC....still no bobbles whatsoever, and no apparent keyholing.  Just ordered and received two more magazines from Rohrbaugh. They were very prompt and a pleasure to deal with. Maybe I got the extra magazine Gun Tests didn't receive with their gun     I subscribe to Gun Tests but sometimes I really wonder about their reviews...they recently commented that Wilson KZ45 COMPACT came with 10 round magazine, when in fact it comes with 9 round magazine (full size KZ45 does come with 10 rounder). They make a big deal in their review of the R9S that it only comes with one magazine, which is WRONG. Sheesh, its this kind of stuff that really makes me wonder about their credibility and reliability as writers who know what they are saying.

Guys ... one of the THR members has posted the article ... I have saved it but - if it's still there you can go look HERE.

If gone I'll happily email a txt file for you.  I am keeping it for reference.

[DDGator]

Doesn't that link just get you the first paragraph of the article -- unless you are a subscriber?

I spoke with Eric Rohrbaugh yesterday about the Gun Tests review...  There will some info forthcoming from them.

[Brenden]

I received my free copy today..Have not read the article as yet,but with the Headline of "We Pick The PM9 Over The R9s"
I probably can figure it out.. :-/
