http://www.gunbroker.com/All/BI.aspx?Keywords=RohrbaughI would like to see interest in this fine semi collectible pistol continue to stay high and even grow.
You guys talked me into believing it was a first in its class. I believed you even though my first was having issues. Mine is now fixed and before it was I bought 2 more. In the end I believe you were/are right. There is no other pistol that fills the niche of the R9 and they only made so many of them.
As I was privileged to speak to Eric yesterday (thanks Ryan) I was further enlightened on how this amazing pistol was developed and then improved over the years. He mentioned Richard by first and last name and gave him praise for his loyalty to the little pistol and mentioned that input from the users helped shape improvements made along the way. He mentioned how they kept tweeking the gun until it was as close to perfect as humanly possible.
Awesome story of a couple of craftsmen and their passion for their pistol.
Well let's face it. This forum is the only place people can learn about and see the original R9. This is the only place people can turn to for info on how to find one and maintain it and how to shoot it in a way that is best for the purpose built piece of genius. I do not think it is in poor taste (sorry if some do) to mention that if they are more or less forgotten then they will also lose value. Conversely if they are viewed as the rare little gems that they are then I feel as though they will hold their value for years to come. Like land, there is only so much to go around.
Some of you fellows are very much part of the legacy that made the R9 what it is. I think the pistol should be honored by keeping it talked about and even shown off on this forum.
It's a great piece. Thanks for talking me into getting on board fellas.
