Rohrbaugh R9 (all variations) / Re: Ok... Lovin my Rohrbaugh(S)...
« Last post by JoshA on March 04, 2015, 11:46:44 PM »Ok it's official. I can finally say I'm lovin my Rohrbaughs.
Why? Because Eric's on here now and I want to schmooze up? Nope.
Why? Because it's perfect and it never has not ever will give me an issue? Nope.
Why? Because everybody else loves their Rohrbaughs? Nope.
Because Duane told me to love it or He wouldn't allow me to pester you poor people any more? Yes...
Just kidding. No. Sorry, poor attempt at humor.
Well I just broke it out to show it off to my eleven year old boy and found myself going over the neat features of my carry piece that originally gave me some grief. I caught myself talking about it as if I cherished it. As if it was something special to me. As if it was something I wanted him to see the very fine qualities of, so when he gets older he will have an eye for quality and craftsmanship. An eye for something special and not just the ordinary. Hey nothing wrong with a Glock (I know they don't have a soul Richard 😜), but then their is the piece that someone poured their life's blood into to make as close to humanly perfect as possible. That would be the R9 IMO. Oh I think their are probably more reliable guns to run thousands of rounds with that offer less recoil, but that's not the intended purpose of the build.
Truth is that my post would have not been allowed to cast a shadow of negativity on the R9 if I didn't come to the dance just as they were handing things over to Remington. I would have been able to send it in for repairs and talk to Eric and been happy happy happy.
Hope I didn't scare anyone away with all the talk.
In the end I have a real appreciation for the fit and finish, size to weight to fire power ratio. I appreciate the reliability of it now that it's been serviced.
It's a pocketable defense system with some real class.
In final, I love my Rohrbaugh. I ended up buying 2 more and wouldn't mind adding a Farmie if the right situation presented itself. I guess that says it all right there.
Thanks for all the help along the way getting me to this point. I hope the small band of R9 owners remains as classy as they are now. You are some good fellows to have acquaintance with. I even like old Bob. What happened to old Bob anyway? Oh well.
