is this 45 going to happen?
Relic:
Well said, Reinz.
As fine a platform as it is, the 1911 is not a good design for a subcompact. It's been proven time and time again.
But the Kahr PM45 has shown the way. It's a rock solid performer with a caveat. The hand that holds it is prone to failures. I know for a fact that pride has a lot to do with the poor reputation of small .45s. If an otherwise accomplished shooter can't handle it, he labels it a jam-o-matic when the flaw is actually with the shooter. I've had the chance to shoot quite a few small .45s than "suddenly" functioned just fine in my hand.
It takes training and very good technique to shoot these tiny pistols and when you move to a .45 that becomes even more apparent. Nothing underlines flaws in a shooter's technique like a subcompact .45ACP autoloader.
tracker:
It doesn't sound very promising, does it?
kjtrains:
I can see how you could think that way, however, I believe Rohrbaugh will make the R45 happen, just a matter of time.
Reinz:
You're right Relic, half the battle wtih those little auto cannons is the shooter himself.
Relic:
I agree with kjtrains and Reinz, here. Training and technique are things that we can improve. I think it is very promising.
I have no doubt that an R45 would be reliable and effective. It's true that not everyone will be able to shoot it effectively, but to be quite honest, it's the "know-it-all" shooters that are the problem. Those willing to learn will adjust and become proficient.
I didn't mean to sound negative. Actually, I'm quite enthusiastic about the R45. I know that Rohrbaugh will create a exceptional product and I will ensure my technique is up to the challenge of handling it effectively.
