Maybe consider SEMI-retirement?

Hey everybody . . . . I hope you are all enjoying these historic photographs I'm adding here to the forum for future reference. I am having fun doing these. That said, here is the next few shots I have for this thread. Enjoy the History of Rohrbaugh!

Here is our early Rohrbaugh 380 design with our patented "Safegun" trigger mechanism. Remington Arms now holds that patent, along with the R9 Series Pistol in .380 and 9mm.

Regards,

Eric C. Rohrbaugh

I have more to follow guys. I tried posting the photographs showing how the trigger worked using a custom neodymium magnetic ring to activate the system, but, for some reason, the photos kept presenting upside down!? I'll look into that and get those posted as soon as I can. They really show how it worked, so I'll figure it out soon. Ha haa . . . .

Anyway . . . . Enjoy these for tonight!

This is a SAD post :-[ All those partially made pistols waiting for new owners. Makes you feel like going through the dog pound and seeing all the pups that need adoption.
