The top barrel was made in-house and 9mm is engraved.
The bottom barrel was made by Storm Lake and the 9mm is laser etched.

Rohrbaugh R9 (all variations) / Re: Tight Magazine
« Last post by Wanderer on March 14, 2024, 04:41:27 PM »Well if you shove a piece of metal into another piece of metal enough times the scratches show up to tell you where the pressure is. It is scratching at the back of the magazine well. There are two scratches at the corners of the mag well approximately at the bottom , and an additional larger wear area right before the cutout at the back of the magazine for the hammer assembly, right in the middle. I tried to get a picture.
I have 4 no go magazines.
1 with the welded back, tight in both guns
3 with what appears to be red or brown coloring in the base plate of the magazine in the etching.
I have 2 tight magazines that bind with about 1 centimeter to full insertion. They will go in, however they are pretty difficult to get out but can be done. (These do not have the coloring in the etching)
and 2 that work easily in and out, 1 with no coloring in the etching, and the other has an extension and does not have the original base plate.

Unfortunately, I can’t find the post in my Bookmarks. Someone here will likely have it and, hopefully, post it again.

Rohrbaugh R9 (all variations) / Re: Why I love Rohrbaugh
« Last post by backupr9 on March 14, 2024, 09:43:14 AM »The Rohrbaugh R9 is beautiful in its efficient design for carry and fun in its variations over the years of production. Collector enthusiasm aside, I value my R9’s as the single best and by far the most comfortable small 9mm carry piece ever made, assuming of course that careful lubrication and maintenance is provided. Sadly, proper assessment of the “Pup’s” design intent and reasonable expectation for circumstances of use (short range self-defense, point and shoot) are all too often missing from the posted online opinion sites. “Horses for courses” would seem to make sense.
