I guess there is a lot of excitement over the two new models that Karl and clan plan to introduce at the next SHOT show.
Like the rest of you, I can't wait.
But, what I would like to see is a Seecamp clone, without a mag safety, and built on a forged alloy frame. I have expressed this opinion on the NAA website as well.
I own a slew of pocket guns, including three Seecamps, two NAA Guardians, and a R9s. NAA is working on a lighter Guardian. Seecamp, well is Seecamp, their 380 is a jewel of a pistol. But I want more competition: I want to push the envelope.
I have faith in my Seecamps, Guardians, and Rohrbaugh. I have little faith in my KelTec 380. Look what happenned to the old 1911A1: the clone wars have generated pistols that are far superior to what was available just 10 years ago, and light years better than what was on the market in 1980.
What Rohrbaugh needs is a reasonably priced, high margin product to keep all of its high tech machines working 24/7. I can see two products in my mind: Two Seecamp 380 clones. One with a machined forged steel frame (that would weigh 2 ozs more than the original) and a 380 clone with a machined forged alloy frame (that would weigh maybe 2 ozs lighter than the Seecamp). Wholesale the first out at $425 with a retail price of $550, and the second with a wholesale price of $600 with a retail price of $800.
So what do you guys, and gals, think?
