I enjoy owning and shooting 9 mils. I am a diehard Beretta 92 and Cougar fan, great range pistols but hardly concealing. Scouring the intranet for a CCW 9 mil, I happen upon this Rohrbaugh R9S.
I am intrigued. Sleek and to the point. Small yet powerful.
Although their purpose is for concealment/protection, I suppose at the price they have a good service life ?
I don't believe there is a dealer close but am going to my local dealer and see if he can order them.

If seven years and four months as an EDC pocket pistol qualifies as good service life, my answer would be, "Yes."
Welcome to the Forum.

Welcome. Don't want to dissuade you from searching for an R9, but if you're a huge Beretta fan you are aware that Beretta just announced a new micro 9, right?

You've GOT to be kidding, right ?

This article says micro compact. Don't know if this is the one you're speaking about? Due out in October.

Yup, that's it. I haven't seen any specs on it, so who knows what they mean by micro.

No. Why?

I am a fan of [some] Beretta,s. The PX4, although an excellent gun and accurate with the rotating barrel, it is just plain ugly to me.
The Nano, not my style either. Partly because of the composite look, light weight, yes, hope Beretta does well with them.
I like steel. Some will argue composite is stronger than steel. Fine, whatever, I like the solid feel of steel.
Yeah, I know the 92 frame is alloy, but an expected service life of 35,000 rounds with reports of guns lasting well over 50,000 rounds, purdy tough.
Although the Rohrbaugh looks to be the epitome of Micro nines from what I gather. That's a chunk of $$, but if the bad guy situation comes that' insurance. I believe you would feel quite a bit more secure with with one in a situation than a cheapo.
I'm saving up.

Nano is smaller than micro. Beretta doesn't call it micro but it is still heavier than the Pup--the winner and still champion is.......

Looks like it weighs in close to the Boberg.

No. Why?
I shouldn't have to explain, considering that the R9 is THE Pinacle of EDC.
But your comment came across to me as, if just because someone likes girls with black hair, now you are going to offer him the fat girl for the prom. :D

Although it might be YOUR Pinacle of EDC, that doesn't necessarly make it THE Pinacle for everyone. As the OP stated he really liked Berettas I simply pointed one out to him that he might not have been aware of.
