I can't help but notice that this gratuitous bit of advice has apparently been volunteered after the pistol was sold to a new buyer. As Mike has observed, the listing in the classified section of this forum stated that the pistol had only 21 rounds fired through it. The only caveat offered was that it "had a trip back to rohrbaugh [sic] to improve feeding." It was also noted in a follow-up post that the pistol was listed on Gunbroker.com.
As of this morning, Gunbroker lists only 16 closed auctions for R9 pistols, all of which had excellent reviews.
By my count, this raises the number of such posts to 3 or 4 -- with the number of R9s produced now approaching the 3,000 mark. Meanwhile, here in East Tennessee, No. 132 (which is in my pocket now) remains flawless after 3 years and 4 months of service with only the recommended maintenance and a varied diet of Speer Gold Dot, Remington Golden Saber, and Winchester "White Box" ammunition.
My advice to anyone contemplating the purshase of a Rohrbaugh R9 would be that you will find no smaller, lighter, more concealable, or higher quality full-power 9mm semi-automatic pistol anywhere on the market.
I been known for taking chances with my own life and safety, but I would never take a chance with the life or safety of the beautiful and brilliant woman to whom it is my great good fortune now to be married. I carry my R9 more for her protection than for my own, and I trust it completely and without reservation.
