I was at the Range yesterday, fired off twelve rounds and the PUP broke. When I got home and disassembled it I found the the Hammer Strut had sheared. One part is still pinned in the Hammer, the rest of the strut was laying on top of the Plunger. :( The question now is where can I get a replacement Hammer Strut???

Remington now owns Rohrbaugh and handles the warranty and parts. They contracted the repair and parts out to this company:
Williams Gun Sight inc
800-530-9028
PO Box 329
Davison MI 48423
Ask for Alex in Gunsmithing.

THANK YOU for that info. I will call them today :)

Keep us informed as to whether or not Williams was able to help you. If not, I'll have to look around my Lincoln box from the shop. . . . I may have something lying around you can use if they can't help out.

Williams will take care of your Pup, rest assured. ;)

I called Williams and ordered the part, got in the mail a few days later. The PUP is back in service. I see one other person on this forum has had the Hammer Strut fail, is this just a rare happening??, I hope so because the PUP is my EDC.

I would stick with Speer Gold Dots Or Winchester silvertips, or other Major Brand standard pressure ammo...That Georgia stuff might be too hot or have a longer bearing surface on the bullet, causing higher pressure. The barrel is cut with freebore for a good reason, to reduce pressure..a long bullet will cover more of the freebore and spike pressures, a good reason not to shoot 147gr. I would stick to 115 or 124gr Gold Dots or Silvertips..YMMV.

You are spot on.

I will admit to trying Winchester 147 ranger T...I was looking for less recoil for the wife, flawed reasoning was being a subsonic 147 shoots softer in many 9mm pistols. Not the case as far as I could tell with the R9 recoil was more pronounced, I stopped after 20 or 25 rounds. I staggered them with 115 and 124 gold dots and could tell which ones were the 147gr. Ive settled on 124 Gold dots.
Thread hijack end. ;)

It was rare Verdogo. . . . . Not to worry.

I fire nothing but Winchester Ranger "T" Series in my R9. but I wanted to see how it fed 147gr HST and during that range outing the barrel pin sheared.
