Still Considering.....

[Brenden]

Bubbaman...

Welcome...

I bought sight unseen the first time..

I liked what I saw enough to buy again..

And again...

If anything happens with the pup-service is outstanding..I have not had to use it yet,but one of the owners called me to answer a couple of questions I had!!

 I do recognize quality,and this gun drips of it!!

Your decision to buy,but I think you will be more than satisfied with the pup..

Bubba,

The elusive founder you describe is me...    I see you already read my post about the "internet" effect, so I won't repeat it.

There is plenty of good news here if you look -- far, far more than bad news.  And -- as we have said -- the good news is reported far less often.

The R-9 is nearly a custom piece.  How many other guns are made with no MIM, stamped or forged parts?  No plastic.  Wolff springs.  Top notch quality at every spec.

There are plenty of very satisfied customers here. I don't think you will find your money poorly spent.  And, if for any reason you do, the market will continue to be strong to re-sell these guns for quite some time.

Welcome to the forum.

Every time I do a gun show, some of my Rohrbaugh customers come by and tell me how happy they are with the pup.
It is like this forum, old friends stopping by and visiting.

Hey Tom - How much is an R-9s? Email me at bubbasguns@adelphia.net. Thanks.

Bubbaman,

I bought my R9S without ever seeing one.

It is a wonderful pistol and mine has been flawless, even though a few owners have had problems.  Fortunately,  Rohrbaugh has guaranteed the pistol for the lifetime of the owner.

Mine kicks like a mule, caused by the little dickens squirming in my hand.  That was solved by putting some abrasive tape on the front and back of the grip.

I'm sure you will be a happy owner.  It is fun to see and touch an article of such quality.   The R9S is small and powerful, and stays unnoticed in your pocket.

Bubbaman, PM sent Tom

Bubbaman ,   Welcome  The R-9 is a work of Art. When you hold one for a little while you will understand what all the fuss is about. When you shoot one you will order one.

[Newt]

DMT_39 is right! Hold it ,examine it, shoot it, and you will own it, or most likely, like alot of us you will own two!

[CaptBW]

First I heard the scuttlebutt about a new, small, 9mm.  Then I saw photos in magazines.  Then I found this forum.

The R that I own is the only one I have seen or held.  I couldn't be happier with the weapon.  It is a jewel.

Bubbaman, take the plunge, you will never look back!! PM me if you want one.
Tom

[Bubbaman]

I appreciate all the "encouragement", but I'm still thinking on this. Does anyone have pics of the R right beside, or maybe even on top of a P-3AT? Thanks

[R9SCarry]

Bubbaman - haven't gone to check but IIRC there is one pic at least on my FAQ dealing with P3 and R9 - not one over other but at least some sorta comparison.

[Bubbaman]

Hey R9SCarry - how do the two pistols compare, as far as concealability goes?

[CaptBW]

I sold my P-3AT and bought a Rohrbaugh.  There is no comparison.

[Michigunner]

Bubbaman,

Before purchasing the R9S, I was concerned that it might not carry as well as my P3AT.

The P3AT seemed smaller and lighter, but when it got right down to carrying them, there was not enough difference to matter, in my opinion.  The R9S is also small and light, quite like the P3AT.

I use the Milt Sparks PCH holster and it adapts perfectly to the curve of the leg.  The R9S is ideally suited for pocket carry.

I made the transition without any problems, except that abrasive tape was required on the front and back of the handle so it would not squirm during firing.  Certainly that's just one individual's problem, but tape was required to prevent the pain of recoil.

Please remember that we all purchased the P3AT with the expectation that it might have to be returned to the factory to get it working. That was a fact of life.   As far as I know, the majority of R9S pistols work fine.  Mine has never failed.
  
Another candidate, the Kahr PM9, was entirely too heavy for me to enjoy pocket carry.

For what it's worth, many people seem to think the pocket pistol market is saturated.

Not me!  I long to see a tiny Glock and tiny Sig, both no larger than the Rohrbaugh. Because there are now "shall issue" laws, with growing numbers of CPL holders, perhaps it will happen.  I hope so.

Meanwhile, we have the wonderful R9S.
