The Water Cooler -- General Discussions / Re: Hypothetical about Rohrbaugh type design
« Last post by Wanderer on February 18, 2024, 10:35:31 AM »
The thing I like about the paddle release is that I don't have to shift my grip to do a magazine change.  I use the middle finger of to operate the paddle.   Now the R9 frame might present a challenge since you have a fairly small grip surface.   I like to standardize as much as I can so that I don't have to spend time training differently.  On larger calibers and fuller size weapons that isn't an issue,  but the Walther PPS is the smallest paddle release I have.   For things smaller it has been button release.  Until the Seecamp and the R7 with the heal release.   I'm the least experienced with the heal release so maybe I'll end up preferring it.

Very interesting thread you started.

I am watching this for some ideas and discussion as well.

(Personally I like the heel release magazine, I feel it's safer)

As for materials,  are any newer alloys capable of standing up as well as steel for the slide allowing for shaving it down at all?   What about using titanium in the design.  Obviously that would cause the price to skyrocket.

Just wondering about a hypothetical. Not taking into account patents and legalities and such,  could a pistol in the style of the Rohrbaugh be produced with a paddle magazine release rather than the current European type release without dramatically altering the size function.

Also have there been any advancements since production ended that would enable the size to be reduced any further without impacting functionality.   Like new materials or design elements that weren't available at the time.

It would be cool to have them for sure, hopefully someone who can appreciate and afford them will get them.

Someone here is thinking about these. Send me a PM and we can work out a deal.

Not that I'm biased Walk, but I started carrying my "Last Rohrbaugh" R9 again and it's much more comfortable than my G26.

. . . just saying.   lol

Thanks ccoorreeyy,  I've never been good at being patient and now I can stop the continuous internet searches for magazines.
