I do like the R9; for me, never a complaint; and love those blue carbon fiber grips!    :)

Wow, you mean it's not a target pistol? no wonder i have so much trouble hitting the bullseye at 75 yards. I wish i would have known that before i spent $1200 each for two of them. Oh well, maybe i will try carrying it for self defense now, so I can at least use it for something and my money won't have been totally wasted.  And BTW, all them caps make your post look like gobley-gook brother.

I bought a Rohrbaugh R9 in April in Delray Beach, Fl. Immediately after using my Amex fror the "mortgage like" payment, I went into the range in the gun shop and immediately realized the temperamental Rohrbaugh is not meant to fire practrice ammo as I had all sorts of FTFs and double strikes.
After my initial disappointment, I always felt that this was not a gun I would "stake my life on" I am a retired NYPD Detective  of 20 years,
Snip...

Agree with that, a "functioning" 9mm, key word. I love the Kahr for its size and weight, couldnt even imagine a far fetched reason to carry a Rohrbaugh over a comparable Glock other than for the size. But then again, huge huge sacrifice on reliability and dependability.
I have seen many a Rohrbaugh issue and the name "Maria" bandied aboiut on this forum. There are more disappointed reports from first range oputings than I have ever seen on any other forum..........


Man, and they say I am a negative dude. I haven't seen dudes this negative since my time on the NYPD.

As I've said before in different lingo, all you gotta do is examine the R9.  If you know anything about guns at all, it is easy to see that you have precision in your hands.
Which means she'll hold up to use, but not abuse.

Some guys just don't understand precision and never will.  You have probalbyl talked to them; like the guy who slams Wilson, NightHawk, Les Baer, Eddie Brown and claims his stock Norinco can outshoot them.

You can't fix stoopid, but you can fix ignorance, but sometimes that lightbulb just won't go on.

This is an interesting string that has encouraged me to check out youtube and other gun blogs. My thanks to forum members for their attachments that facilitated my review.

The antagonist has, after all, disappeared nearly 2 years ago. His having chosen this forum to s%^t and run is weird. Did he leave the NYPD and go to work for Kahr?

The fact that the R9S has a shelf life of 150 rounds is ludicrous and I find it both sad and comical to read the blogs of those that choose not to understand the difference between a practice session of 150 rounds and the lifetime of a gun.

The same youtube that the antagonist points out to underscore his criticism of the R9 is festooned with praise of the gun known and loved by us on this forum.

Reinz said it well. Ignorance is a potentially remediable condition. Stupidity cannot be cured.

Not a target pistol? Oh crap.

How come I didn't find this out until just after I got my Pup drilled and tapped for a scope?

I mean, jeez, I just started to get good with it on bowling pin matches, so I thought I should scope it and try it out on Silhouette...
