R9 was never offered in 380 Auto right?
« on: March 30, 2012, 04:50:06 PM »
In Wikipedia, the entry says:

Quote
...chambered in either 9×19mm Parabellum or .380 ACP

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rohrbaugh_R9

I've been thinking creating a Wikipedia account to make edits when I come across something like this

R 9 is the 9mm, but the r 380 does exist and is the exact same firearm, just chambered in. 380

So yes the r9 is actually an r 380.  Same pup, quieter bark and weaker bite.

Wikipedia -- read but verify.

That article needs both correction and expansion.

The .380 is the Rohrbaugh .380 as seen from the Rohrbaugh Firearms.com.  No R is involved with the .380; except the R in the name Rohrbaugh, of course; had to clearify.

I just fixed the 380 ACP reference.

I would upload images of the standard & stealth but I Wikipedia is pretty strict about proving that you have permission to use the images.

Probably would behoove Carl to have someone in his marketing department up load a couple of images to Wikimedia and link to them on the Wikipedia R9 page.

Karl doesn't have a marketing department and I doubt that wikipedia is of much concern or interest to him.
