Of course.  There are no plans, to my knowledge, to produce the R-380 in the near future.  They wanted to have one at the SHOT show, to have something new to show, but didn't feel they had the time to get it together -- even though it isn't that big a deal since its 90% the same as the R-9...

Please give Eric a chance.  I have never known him to do anyone wrong or to dodge phone calls.  I think he and Karl have proven themselves enough to get the benefit of the doubt.

PCA -- I know its a difficult wait, and hanging out here probably doesn't make it any better -- but most of us have been though this too.  Hang in there.

Duane,

Thank you for your response but I stand by what I said. Do you realize how tempting it was to call the dealer in Arkansas? But no, I have an inquiry into Eric and he won't fail me, right? Wrong.

I can't even get the long sleeve t-shirt, which was also a part of my inquiry to Eric.

Can the R9 be adapted to .380 with a barrel, mag & recoil spring/guide rod replacement?

>>I think I know Eric well enough to say he is one of the most conscientious people I have ever known, so I feel confident in saying he is not purposely avoiding anything or anyone over business.  

Fact is I know Eric and Karl have a lot on their plate at the moment - bigger than any business situation so I would strongly encourage everyone to cut them some slack...!!

Quite frankly I think we have all been spoiled by Eric's tendency to respond to everyones beck and call...myself included.  Now is not the time to push that envelope...TW<<

PCA

Maybe you read to much into the non-reply.  Eric has a full plate right now, and believe me answering each and every  inquiry can become pretty trying..  So, you missed on the Arkansas deal,  remember,  anticipation is 90%.... ;)

SEE the Smilies  :) :)

Edit to change to "PCA" , sorry :)

When you get to be our age, a PSA test is often on the mind!

Hi PCA:

I agree with the others--just hang in. I don't communicate with the brothers often. Maybe 3 conversations in 18 months, but I would give them the benefit of the doubt.

They moved, bought new equipment, and I assume are hanging on by their fingernails. A little while ago, I suggested that they consider producing a 380 Seecamp clone. Everything can be improved.

To survive, they need to keep those expensive machines operating 24/7. Short term, they will catch up on their orders. But long term they need to keep demand for their prooducts up.

As to the caliber of a 380--Rohrbaugh is a pocketgun manufacturer. So a pocketgun caliber makes sense. I carry a 380 every day. I also carry a Glock 36.

In addition to the R9 and R9s, they can in a short period of time bring to market the 380 and maybe an all steel version of the 9mm.

A little longer, they can improve and build a Seecamp clone.

A little longer even yet, thy may bring to market a 22 training version of the R9 platform.
