JR.  Welcome to the Forum and in soon to get the R9.  If you don't have a dealer, contact Tom Watson of The Irish Guard Firearms; he's a member here on the Forum and will be glad to help.  Again, welcome.

Thanks for the welcome!

I don't exactly have a dealer in mind yet - no one near me is a dealer. But very near (like within a mile) of my wife's parents home there IS a dealer - and we have to go there next week anyway so I plan to stop and see if they have anything in stock. At Thanksgiving time they did not but were expecting some in. If they DO have stock, a pup may just follow me home ...

JR, A warm welcome from me as well. I see you are from the frozen north, I moved from south of Buffalo to NC about seven years ago. (I don't miss the snow  ;D)
   I see you are a member at PAFOA, I have been selling pistol brass to reloaders on there for several months.

You should be very glad right about now for that move! They have gotten a LOT of snow the last 2 weeks and have been generous enough to have shared some with the town I live in; we have good friends in NC - former neighbors on our street.

I am a member of PAFOA under the same screen name - I lurk a lot but post little. It's a lot friendlier here ...

I have had 7 years of being glad I moved here, better weather and it is a much friendlier state to gun owners.
  I have only posted on the PA forum in the classifieds, I don't have time to post in the other sections as I am on about fifteen + forums selling brass ;D

kj, Thanks,
 Not everyone down here is happy to see yankees. :o ;D
    It hasn't been much warmer here than up North the last week or so. :o But I'm not in snow up to my assets. One of our friends back home said they got 4' of snow and the forecast was calling for 2 more, that I don't miss. ;D

Hello R9ers!  I've been referring my Rohrbaugh customers to this great forum, and if there's an extra seat, I thought I might sit in.  I keep an R9s available for test driving.  It's trigger has such a perfect let off that the gun stays rock steady when the hammer drops.

gunthorp:

And a welcome from me as well. I certainly agree with you about the R9's trigger.

Thank you all very much for the welcome.  I have been a  Rohrbaugh dealer for several years.  All those whom I have served are as delighted with their pups as they are with the Kahrs and Kimbers I recommend.

gunthorp,
      Very nice web site you have and a good writeup on the R9.
I see you are from the frozen North, I'll pry for sunshine for you. ;D

Again Welcome aboard and good job referring your R9 customers here.

This is my first post, No Spam here.  I'm glad to be a newbie after many hours lurking this past week, (It really didn't take a week to know this would be a great community to get to know).  Thanks for all the excellent information. I graduated to my first R9s eight days ago, after progressing thru Keltec and Ruger 380's over the last year or so. I was trying to decide if I really wanted any pocket pistol.
This little gun has answered most of those concerns. I look forward to learning more from you and buying a few of the well designed additions to care and functionality of this liitle beauty.
