"One thing I wonder is whether they might be rushing it too much as is. Incursion's posts (
http://www.rohrbaughforum.com/YaBB.cgi?board=R9S;action=display;num=1091 549418;start=75#75) on his 3% failure rate thus far may reflect a need for them to slow down, rather than speed up, production. (Or it may reflect all sorts of other things, but this is the type of out-of-box-experience that costs companies a lot in both support costs and repuation.)"...From T-Cat
I doubt Incursion's problems stem from rushing things on the production end, otherwise I should think more folks would likewise be having similar problem with their guns...yes...?...no...?? One or two with problems out of the 200 plus guns sold does not, in my mind, justify recall/reputation tarnish. That said, I think the problem(s) do deserve further examination and fix, if possible and as appropriate.
From all that I have read regarding problems incurred by Incursion my first thoughts were that shooting technique was the culprit...something about how the gun is positioned...squeezed...whatever. Unfortunately we do not have the means to view Incursion's shooting style on this forum...maybe you can work on that, Gator - LOL.
As I think I raised elsewhere on this topic - perhaps this gun is simply not the gun for Incursion...! I must say I am surprised to hear how much Incursion shoots this gun...hundreds of rounds at a session...? I realize he is trying to figure this gun out but it is simply not made to shoot all day long. Also, for any other gun - cleaning it twice at the range in a 300+ round session would sound a bit extreme. But as I understand it from Eric the R9 should be broken down and cleaned every 50-80 shots. This says to me that Incursion's gun may in fact be
under lubbed for how it is being shot...again, indicating this may not be the gun for Incursion?
I also question the idea of whiping off the factory lube??? Again - would be great if Gator could set up video loops on the forum so we could see how Incursion lubes this gun vs. factory instruction.
I am not at all saying this as a put down of Incursion...rather an examination of his use and treatment of this gun compared to how it is meant to be treated. Somehow I have this vision of a guy in the trenches of WWII taking on the enemy alone with his trusty Colt 45...cilp after clip after clip... The R9 is not to be treated like the Colt. It's more of a walking down the street late at night being confronted by the Biker King for your money and life - type of gun...as in - you say what...?...bam, bam, bam with four left over.
To Incursion...wish I had an original Colt .45 in primo condition to swap you for your R9. But then I'd probably keep that Colt...
Just my thoughts. Feel free to pick them apart...but always remember how we have been taught to care and use the R9...TW<<
