Hello,
I am new to the forum and new to Rohrbaugh! About 1:30 hours new to the R9S actually. I order one thru Tom at Irish Guard Firearms, a gentleman to deal with, the transaction went very smooth. Its funny that I live about 15 minutes from the Rohrbaugh factory but had to get the gun from a dealer in Texas.
I also picked up an array of ammo for it. I just test fired one magazine of GDHP 124 gr. and Silvertip 147 gr., both without fail. I called the factory to ask where I could get Super lube and also asked if the 147 gr. Silvertips were a good choice, the woman who answered said to try them, but that Mr. Rohrbaugh himself carries 115 gr. Silvertips. Unfortunately my delaer only had the 147 gr..
I think I finally found the weapon I have been looking for, I am a retired NYPD Homicide Detective, I now own my own business, a retail/wholesale Beer & Soda Distributor and have been looking for something with adequate firepower that I could conceal without having to wear an untucked shirt or jacket. Since retiring I have carried a Mini-Glock in .40 and a Kimber .45 Ultra CDP, with a NAA .32NAA in my back pocket. I won't be fully retiring the Kimber, but it seems that I will opt for the R9S in my front pocket at all times and the NAA in my back when not carrying the Kimber.
Well all thats left is a full range test with various ammo. By the way all of the post here have helped me make my choice to go with the R9S, thanks!

You can't go wrong with Tom - I have dealt with him several times.
NYPD to Beer - you have traveled a long road - it is great that you have a new career in an area so different from the first. I should do the same.
Looking forward to your postings - welcome again.
