Truly an amazing accomplishment, and a well-deserved award. You both played a part in essentially creating a new class of pocket pistols. You have reason to be proud, for sure.
I'm happy to have played a small part in your story and gotten to meet you both along the way.
And yes, I must give a shout-out to you, Duane Daiker. When you phoned us and asked if it would be all right to create an online forum for the Rohrbaugh R9 Pistol, I asked you to please hold on a moment while I asked my brother Karl what his feelings were, as I already knew mine. He thought about a second or two and agreed with me on this. . . . . Yes, absolutely! And the work you have done with your computer people here through the years should also be honored for keeping all of this information and the outings we had through the years documented here. So much history of the R9 pistols is written within the forum you created! Let’s add to that all of the members here who have chimed in with their experiences with the pistol and many cataloging the different types of finishes, models, etc. At the time, as many of you know and understand, being involved with the manufacture and some of the design work of the pistol, I felt I shouldn't be involved with any forum about it. I felt it should be for the enthusiasts only. Then, once we sold the company to Remington in January of 2014, I felt it would be alright to join, and I did at that time. I hope that those people I have helped through my years here, after the sale of our business, have been a help in some way. I would also like to say to everyone reading this: Thank you.
