I try to, but when they quote Karl Rohrbaugh, that he said, the R9 has a lifetime of about 150 rds....the ridiculously absurd is hard to ignore.

But people will say anything to get others riled up.  It seems to fuel their ego.  They usually won't talk to themselves.    :)

Duke:

I'm not a member of that forum, but the poor misguided soul should probably be informed that the R9 is not a "blowback" design.   ::)

I just registered and posted something about the R9.  I can't believe anyone would believe such a tall tale - 150 rounds and it starts to fall apart... and people believe this?  Rubs me wrong I guess.

I think that rubs us all the wrong way.  Just have to consider the source.

Dan:

That was a good post. The individual in question reminds me of the old maxim, "Often wrong, but never in doubt."

Dan.  That was a good post.  Maybe those folks will now put their thinking caps on before chiming in again about the R9.

Thanks for you guys that posted.

If someone doesn't like an R9....I am cool with that...like whatever gun that cranks your tractor.

However, when you begin to dissiminate so call "facts" that are clearly wrong and untrue....you need to be called on it.

I think some of this stuff comes from people who have never actually owned an R9, but they had a buddy that let them shot his once, and their buddy sold his because it was junk after 150 rds or those that just want to trash what they know it a quality fire arm.

Oh yeah, did I tell you that I had a buddy that let me drive his battle ship once.....he sold that sucker because it's guns jammed ever 5 rds. ;D

Whenever I see a post like that I'm going to respond with some facts.  You know, I've been introducing people to the R9 when I'm at a range or visiting friends... and everyone is really impressed with the product.  It really is the ultimate pocket gun.
