trigger pull

Beautiful shot! (I don't know whether to call that "four of a kind" or "two pair."   )

It looks like two hole cards to me.

We sell our Farmingdales because we are fallible and {therefore} capable of making stupid decisions. I know I did.


Great photograph. The caption for me is "Get a Rohrbaugh R9; They Really Stack Up"

The grass is always greener on the other side!!  (We always want something else....until we get that)

Corey!  Great picture!  Do you have a favorite?  

Out of the ones I still have it would have to be my 1st custom.  It's just plain cool to me and I have by far the most money tied up in it.

Out of all of them i've had today I would choose the earliest farmingdale one I had would take the prize.  Wished I still had that one!!

Great choice!!

Mine is absolutely smooth.  The long pull feels safer to me.  You really have to mean to pull it.

First Post on here, so hello!
I was handling a "Special Forces" model yesterday and when I pulled the trigger slowly, dry fire, it stuck in the back position several times.  Is this normal?

[ACP]

Welcome Fat Boy to the forum. What you describe is NOT normal and I will defer to others who may have insight as to the problem.

I would love to see a DA R9 with all the normal bells and whistles: Conventional slide that remains open after last shot, frame mounted mag release, et al. but that is not happening.

Welcome to the forum.  To answer your question, that's definitely not normal.   Pulling the trigger slowly is not good to start with.  Should be pulled like you really mean to shoot it.  
Did you try to pull the trigger quickly?

Fat_Boy:

Welcome to the Forum.

That R9 must have been drier than a James Bond martini.

Sounds to me like the grip is a little loose maybe.  

[sdlsaginaw]

I concur, sounds like the trigger spring isn't on its post anymore.  Either the right grip is loose or someone has removed it and didn't get the spring reinstalled properly upon reassembly.

Fat boy:

Were you snorting Renaissance Wax prior to that trigger pull?

[Fat Boy]

Thanks for the responses.  I did pull the trigger normal and it worked fine but  if I pulled it slowly to observe the feel of the trigger it would stick.  It is a brand new, never shot SF that was at the local gun shop for sale and I was considering purchasing it till this happened and the dealer started talkin out of his a$$ about other issues.  I would assume this gun came in factory setup condition.  The owner of the shop owns an Elite and so maybe he messed around with it before he put it on the shelf.  When I pointed it out to him he just blew it off as no big deal.  I did not notice a loose grip but wasn't looking for one and could've  missed this.  The trigger definitely did not feel like it had any spring behind it and when I pulled it quickly it seemed to only go forward from momentum.  I've never held another Rohrbaugh so I have nothing to compare it to.  BTW if anyone would like to send their Rohrbaugh to me so I can make a comparison please send me a PM and I promise to return it after I am done spending some serious one on one time together.  I fully expect to purcahse one of these once I learn more so thanks for this forum and all the help.
