The Water Cooler -- General Discussions / Re: Handgun of the Year 2005 / Twenty Years ago this year 2025. Rohrbaugh R9 Pistols
« Last post by ECR on June 07, 2025, 09:20:43 PM »I'd also like to remind everyone that everything on this pistol is cut from solid billets of steel, aluminum, and carbon fiber materials.
Then, much hand work is involved from deburring the parts to hand finishing them and then hand-fitting them. The end result was something that we put all of our lives into to make the very best carry firearm available at the time. Having been following other creations through the recent past, I believe we still have made the best Micro-9mm Pistol available at the time. . . . . . Perhaps still.
Time waits for no one . . . . . . . as I told my brother Karl in reference to making and getting us to the S.H.O.T. Show in January of 2002. . . . . . . . He wanted to wait another year before introduction of his creation. That’s when I told him: "There's only one number one (when making something of an innovation), and that's going to be us!” So I pushed him to agree to go for it now, S.H.O.T. Shot 2002. And just post 9-11 . . . . . It was we who created “The Micro-9 Pistol” genre! Absolutely Amazing!
Thank you to all who believed in our vision and products then and through the years. Our family has been forever honored by receiving this esteemed award.
