Boberg  XR9
« on: September 30, 2008, 08:09:33 PM »


Hey Guys,

I got a reply E-mail!

Production was supposed to start this October.  Due to metal supplier problems, production will be delayed.  It was jokeingly stated that due to such problems, production might not begin untill this time next year.

I think we might see something by early 2009 but nothing sooner.  

I personally am really, really intreqed-? -interested by/in this pistol.  
I want the original full size design myself.

Mike

 ;DHenry- Although I love the LWS line, I own just one.

A custom s/n trigger lock .380.

The R9 is about the only other mouse gun that I feel is in the same league as the Seecamp 8)

I got an email from Arne yesterday.  I had inquired about how things were going on getting the XR9 production started.  He has just finished up some testing on the Shorty model.  The slide had not been heat-treated and after a couple thousand rounds of various ammo including +P and +P+ some peening started.  He will be making a new slide for the test gun and then heat-treating it to see how it will hold up then.  He noted that with all the testing he has done this past summer he has worked out any durability issues.  

 He also said "My new goal is to launch some time in Q2, but it will be worth the wait.  I want this thing to be dead solid before it gets out there, so I really appreciate your patience."  

I for one can't wait!

PS.  Does anybody know when "Q2" is?  ???

Looks like introductory pricing will be $849 for the XR9 Shorty based on an email of April 14, 09.  They will have a web site, BobergArms.com, that will be up around 5 weeks from April 14, and will be taking preorders then.  I am looking forward to this as well.

UPDATE:  Just got an email from Arne saying first shipment to be in August, and web site to go live in July and taking preorders then from the website.

I had never heard of this gun prior to finding this string. It looks impressive in the long version (as soon as you eliminate the picitinny rail). In the short version, I don't get it. It looks like a first cousin of the Micro Desert gun.

I will look forward to seeing one at a future show or gunshop. It appears to be made of high quality.

One significant difference is the barrel length. The Boberg short
has a 3.3" barrel compared to 2.9"on the R9 and just 2.2" on the
Desert Micro.
