My R9 replaced a North American Arms Guardian .380 (No. 64) as my EDC pocket pistol, which had replaced a Guardian .32, which had replaced a Colt Mustang, which had replaced a Walther PPK, which takes that story back to the 1960's.

Congratulations on your R9! Please let us know how the two of you get along.

My R9 is an addition as I still carry the Seecamp a lot; hope your Rohrbaugh arrives soon.

For pocket carry my pup replaced my Kahr P380 for most daily carry, but in certain situations the Kahr still sees pocket duty. Belt carry is split between the Kimber Ultra CDP and Kahr PM40 with the pup getting an occasional turn.

Several thousand dollars in my pocket.  ;D     I also think of my R9 as an addition to my Seecamp which still see's lots of carry.

Kahr PM9, which had replaced a snubby .357 magnum.

Split between the S&W 642 and a Walther PPS. Before the PPS was a Kel-Tec PF9. Before that a K-T P11. Before that, a Walther PPK. Before that, a Colt Mustang. And before that, various Beretta pocket guns.

And before that a slingshot. ;D ;D

My r9 replaced a Micro D.E.! And that replaced a kahr mk9! Went from 9mm to .380 back to 9mm!
Weight also went down each time!

No laughing here, Dino. The P3-AT is a very well functioning pistol and the price is right. You are one ahead of me: The R9 was my first and probably last carry weapon. I just couldn't find anything before that was light and powerful enough to carry concealed.

Thanks Tracker, that P3-AT went bang every time I pulled the trigger and it was very light and small. Might buy another one before long.
