Eric

Thanks for the post on Rohrbaugh Customer service.  I now have a better understanding of the situation.

My first R9 was a complete disaster and I spent several months and about $250 of very expensive ammo trying to resolve the problem.  First it was Christmas and no one to talk to.  Then it was SHOT Show and no one to talk to.  Then it was trying to figure out what I was doing wrong as Rohrbaugh does not have problems.  This was during the 2009 ammo shortage so I had to go on line and pay scalper's prices to get a variety of premium ammunition to try.  Nothing would work in the gun.

My next step was to enlist the aid of two friends to help.  None of us could get any of the ammo to run in the R9, yet all of it worked in my PM9 and both of my friends PF9's.  I was the talk of the gun club as the dumb SOB with the $1200 gun that wouldn't work.

I finally got so mad that I blew up at Maria and ask to speak to you and she resolved it. 

I now know if I had been able to speak with you, this would have been a lot different story,

Congrats Tatoo. Post how she fires please. And pics too man.

Cool, did you get it at the Premiere Gun Show in Pasadena this weekend? 

If not, where did you find one.  I will be down that way next week and would like to take a look at one.

Don't plan on shooting it...bought just because I think they are undervalued. My edc is the r9.  Shoot very little carry everyday...

I had a serious problem with one of my 3 R9s which was promptly corrected at the factory to my great satisfaction.  Kudos and all credit to the Rohrbaughs.

The R9 is still my EDC.  I have a Boberg XR9 and XR9L and they are both quality weapons and fun to shoot.  I cannot imagine why someone would not like one, but each to his own.  The shorty carries very well in a DeSantis Superfly front pocket holster, but is larger than the R9, and a little less suited to my clothing in Florida.  My recommendation is to follow my lead and own and carry a Seecamp, an R9, and an XR9 variably depending on season, clothing and expectations.  Keep the contact .45 for when you are feeling fey....just gotta practice with each to be sure the various techniques are grooved before you switch from one to another.  Keep the big guns around for range fun and home protection.  Simple, huh?

It takes a big man to post a statement like that which is far more gracious than a mea culpa. Indirectly, I was aware of the policy because I could only talk to Maria and sometimes through her with Eric or Karl. In any case all issues I had with my R9 were resolved to my full expectations and more. Honesty is always the best policy but it isn't necessarily consistent with effective salesmanship techniques. Thank you, Eric, for all you did for me.

You are quite welcome tracker. ecr

  Eric,
  I am not going to make any comments one way or the other regarding this past issue these last few days,except,I give you a world of credit for saying what you did in your comment.
     And as I have said before,that's another reason why Duane is the administrator here.He seems to have a way of addressing both sides,without anyone losing face.

Thank You John. . . . . ecr
