The picture doesn't show the rubber mallet that mine required for disassembly!   ;D

"As to fieldstripping, Eric said that the weird way the gun is held in the manual wasn't done for photographic purposes. It is a way to hold and field strip the gun more easily".  GeorgeH

I wanted to see this *weird grip*, but I see it is the typical grip used for take down of other Semi Auto's.   ::)

Thanks R9sCarry

I think what Eric was refering to is to retract the slide by hooking your finger around the ejection port. I usually don't retract the slide on a gun one handed.

No offence,George.. :)

I understood the *weird grip*statment, it's just that grip is the *norm* for me.   I  was under the impression everyone did it this way.

Great shooting, great guys, and a great firearm.

When I get mine I am sure that I shall be just as proud of it as everyone else is.

Keep up the great messages.

This is the best of all forms.

For what its worth, I shot another 50 trouble free Win White Box rounds Tuesday night.

I also let 3 of my IPSC buddies shoot the gun.  Two were revolver shooters and handled the gun just fine -- although both commented on the stiff recoil.  The third was a 1911 shooter.  He fired 4 shots, completing missing a pie plate at 21 feet.  He said the sights were bad.  I put the last two rounds into the middle of the plate to show him it worked fine.  He commented that perhaps if I spent a bit more money I could get a full-sized gun...  ;D

It cost him less than a similar quality 1911!

I think this illustrates something we see on the NAA forum all the time.  The market for truly top-quality pocket pistols is really limited to those who are truly serious about their safety 24/7 and understand the resulting compromises one must make.

Duane & Frank:

Those are some impressive results!  Great shooting!

These high-end DAOs, such as the Rohrbaugh, are an acquired taste -- right up there with single-malt scotch, steak tartare, and fine cigars.    ;)

I can't say I like Steak Tartare, but I do love my filet medium-rare.

As for the scotch, a good Lagavulin or Balvenie can always be found in my cupboard, along with some good bourbons as well.

A watch is more difficult to make than a wall clock. I understand the comment. I didn't realize the utility of pocketguns until the mid 1980's.
