Ordered a R380 today

(1/4) > >>

Bob79:
I called Maria at Rohrbaugh the other day to ask a few questions about the new .380, and she referred me to Arego's Guns.  I did some checking around, and they seem like good people.  I called them and they had several two-tones in stock for $1,051 + shipping.  So I ordered one, and hopefully I should be able to pick it up in about a week or so.  

Currently I have 2 Seecamps both in .32acp, and a S&W J-frame .38 spl.  I carry a Seecamp though most of the time because it fits so easy in the pocket.  I can't seem to find an IWB holster for my J-frame I like, but maybe its just the bulky cylinder.  I have tried Kel Tecs, and have sold them due to problems with them.

I've fired a Kel Tec P11, and P3AT, and thought they both recoiled too much for me.  I used to have a Kahr PM9 a few years back, but had problems with it too.  And when the Rohbaugh 9mm first came out I thought it was priced too high, and didn't want to deal with the recoil.  But the new .380 is supposed to be real easy on the recoil side of the coin.  After looking at all the guns on the market, the R380 seemed to be the best fit for me.  I have grown older and wiser, and I'd rather spend $400+ more on a gun that will work for me.

I plan to carry it IWB, and I also ordered a "bare asset" holster from High Noon holsters today as well.  I already have to carry my wallet, phone, keys, and eye drops in my pockets, and it would be nice to carry the gun IWB.  I tried to carry my Glock 26 IWB, and its just too heavy, and bulky for me.  So I'm really hoping the R380 at about 16 ozs loaded, and as thin/small as it is, it should be no problem.  I'm also really interested in those new Hogue Grips they offer, as I like Hogues on all my revolvers.  And I don't mind at all that its just a .380acp, I mean I'm carrying a .32acp most of the time now.  The biggest challenge will be just finding some damn ammo I think with this shortage going on.  I will have to stop in some local shops and pay top dollar I'm guessing, or maybe even Gander Mountain where I'll really get taken on the price.  

I'll post back once I get the gun, and take it to the range.  I will probably just use Militec 1 oil and grease on it, maybe CLP, not sure.  And I've already got some blue Loc Tite for the grip screws.  Good Night.

Bob79.  Congratulations on ordering the Rohrbaugh 380.  I've also been using Militec 1 oil; seems to work fine.   :)    :)

Went to a local gun shop today and bought the following...

1 50 rd box of Remington ball
1 50 rd box of PMC ball
1 20 rd box of Gold Dots

Grand total was $75! Ouch, but thats what it costs nowadays I guess.  Got an e-mail saying my High Noon IWB holster was being shipped too, so looks like things are moving along.

ACP:
Hope the .380 is more foregiving than 9MM. I am determined to use recommended high test 9MM for my Stealth and I can't find it. The concerns as to ammo posted in this forum are all too real.
