Hi Everyone
Just got my R9 the other day.
I have not even had a chance to shoot it but DAMN I can't keep my hands off this thing!
It feels BEAUTIFUL!
When I took it in to my local PD for their safety inspection the guys loved it!  For the first time in my life I did not hear a cop bitch about a gun costing too much when he just asked me how much.  A couple guys said wow and he told them, hey this is a CCW piece and Id say my life is EASILY worth around $900...  Kinda what I thought but not what I expected a cop to say

My serial is is R24*
I just bought her NIB on Tue.
I hope to get to the range soon but with work and trade shows, out of town meetings and eveything this mth, it doesnt look like I will get there till after Archery season opens in a couple weeks.

Can't wait to dig through the forum and find out what to expect, I will chime in with a few questions here and there over the next couple weeks and would love if anyone who has suggestions about range ammo and even CCW ammo or break ins on the Rohrbaugh please let me know.
