Remington RM380 for $160 After Rebate!
« on: May 28, 2017, 03:14:41 PM »
Posted in Other Guns as well, but i guess this is time-sensitive...

Hoping you guys will see the value in owning another gun that will fit your Rohrbaugh holsters!

I got an email that the RM380 is $177 after rebate, $227 before.

This one is cheaper initially and you don't have to pay shipping.  About $17 less before rebate.

Wow, so cheap. I wonder if they will ever build a 9mm version

I heard on a gun podcast that Remington did not buy the rights to build a 9mm, only the 380. Is that true Eric?  :o

That is false. Remington purchased the rights for the .380 and the 9mm. They had no interest in our R45. I doubt they will ever come out with a 9mm version. That was really on the edge and they probably feel the anticipated warranties are not worth it. The R9 in 9mm from Remington will most likely never be built, but if they do. . . . . I'd like to see that one for sure!

While not a Rohrbuagh, the RM380 is not a bad gun at all.  At this price, it's one of the best deals I have ever seen.

I agree but I would not buy this gun because of the trigger as stated in this link.

I have had a RM380 from when they first come out and the trigger on mine is not at all like the description in the review.

It is probably not as good as the R380 I have shot, but better than most small pistols.

It has been said in other articles that the triggers vary greatly from one RM380 to the next and I have to believe that.  That is the difference between a $177.00 gun and a $1200.00 gun in my opinion.

I sold mine due to the trigger needing a weight lifter to help me pull it. You get what you pay for.
Having a gun in your hand is much more effective than having the entire police department on the phone!

I would still own the Rohrbaughs I had in my possession if I had felt that parts, mechanical issues, would be able to be dealt with in future years simply because they were made the very best they could be.  I personally have trouble buying/owning a gun that had its
final quality control managed by the marketing department. To me, personal protection is not a "marketing" function.

Mine had a tiny bit of a "catch" just before firing but it smoothed up after a couple of mags.

It really is a nice pistol for the money.

Yeah -- you can't buy anything for this kind of money.  If it works--and they seem to--it's a good value for the price conscious buyer.

I have to say. . . . . I do like my RM380 except for the shape of the trigger, which bites my finger. When Remington opened up the trigger guard, they should have also opened up the curvature radius of the trigger so that doesn't happen. . . . . but what do I know!  lol

Now it's the same price as the link I posted, due to the fact you paying shipping with them. 8)

For a list of the 'best deals' I do a UPC search.  Then you can compare the prices and shipping charges side by side.
