Rohrbaugh R9 (all variations) / Re: Well count me in
« Last post by rjinaz85308 on May 18, 2013, 09:13:50 PM »I agree on the ammo. But unfortunately I have not been able to find any. I went to Cabelas and they had ZERO 9mm on the shelf. All I had was range ammo, so I tried it . No joy. As for breaking it in, it is a 2006 production so I think that has already been taken care of<G>. I was looking at the grip extensions for other gun and wondering what would fit with a little tuning. Thinking most 9 or 380 mags would be close in size, so will have to do a little experimenting. No limp wristing here!!

Cleaning and Maintenance of the R-9 / Re: FrogLube on sale?
« Last post by tracker on May 18, 2013, 08:26:41 PM »Good thought, Griff, but that is $17.42 for 50 ml, and 118 ml or 4 oz. can be bought locally for $16.79. I have bought from LAPoliceGear before with satisfaction, but I think this is a bit of clever pricing lowballing off a high price manipulation. In fact, I checked my stock and found a price label of $9.95 on a 4 oz jar of FrogLube paste. Maybe prices have increased since they have been discovered.

Rohrbaugh R9 (all variations) / Re: 2nd time to range problem
« Last post by renrew on May 18, 2013, 08:09:08 PM »John,
This appears to be a design flaw. This looks like it could happen to ANY R9 as the firing pin retainer can be moved or slip to the left. With the power of a 9mm round it this small gun, what would stop this from happening again? I certainly would not want this to happen when I was in a real life situation. Take a look at the way the retainer is set in your gun, and you will see it can move to the left on any R9 and go out of spec, even if originally in spec.

« Last post by backupr9 on May 18, 2013, 07:57:10 PM »Make sure the pistol is clean and well lubed...they don't like to be shot dry or right out of the box. They also need several hundred rounds of break-in and are definitely ammo sensitive....funny thing is, some like one kind, others like other types. Find what yours likes and pamper it with those (if you can get it). Gold Dots are probably the best, but some like silvertips, mine shoots Lawman OK for range work, and some like Golden Sabres (others apparently don't!). Like a trophy wife, this pistol doesn't like to be fed cheap stuff. You definitely need the mag extension...any tendency to limp-wrist this pistol will result in a jam.

« Last post by backupr9 on May 18, 2013, 07:51:38 PM »I had the same problem...the firing pin retainer was out of speck...sent the gun back to Karl and he said he'd seen only one other incidence...replaced the piece and now my pistol works each time, every time. There was a thread i started about a year or two ago, but I can't find it....posted the same pictures you did. KR stands behind his work...he'll fix it.

Cleaning and Maintenance of the R-9 / FrogLube on sale?
« Last post by Griff on May 18, 2013, 07:02:32 PM »LAPoliceGear.com has 5ml FrogLube squeeze Packs on "closeout" for $1.00 each.
I ordered 10 of them and shipping added another $7.42.
I didn't compare prices so I don't know if this is a good deal or not. They listed regular price at $2.00 each.
I have been hopping to try it, and thought some of you might jump at the chance as well.
Of course, 2/3s of pun is p.u.

Looks like others have had the problem with the firing pin retainer rotating and catching on the frame like my problem. I am wondering what Rohrbaugh does to remedy this as it seems to be a problem.
This is a fine gun however I need to feel comfortable I can trust my life with it! Will talk with Maria on Monday.

« Last post by renrew on May 18, 2013, 03:32:39 PM »I took two more pictures with the gun apart. The first one is the little square piece around the pin when it is moved to the left like when it was stuck.
The second picture shows the piece to the left of the hammer that it was getting caught on and keeping the slide open.
