Finally-Mine Arrived
« on: February 23, 2005, 09:57:29 PM »
Picked up my R9S today. It was ordered in July.

It looks and feels great. Hopefully, I will be able to get to the range this weekend.

Congratulations!  Don't forget the superlube and the Mobil1!

I'm sure you'll have a great time at the range, but you won't really appreciate what a marvel it is until you take it apart.  That's when you realize that, as small as the gun is, it is made up of even smaller parts.

Mine was ordered last July also. I got the call two weeks ago. A local dealer is handling the xfer.  Should be here next week.

Congratulations to you also, dmobrien2001, and welcome.  Sounds like the new machinery at the factory is starting to hit stride.

Does anyone know if they still shipping the "farmingdale" slides that were manufactured at the original factory, or is there another name stamped on the slide?

Finally-Mine Arrived...almost...
« Reply #10 on: March 05, 2005, 05:53:30 AM »
>>This evening I got a call from Eric telling me my long awaited R9 will be shipped next week...this after a six month + wait.  To say the least I'm tickled pink as I wasn't really expecting the gun until later in the month...seems someone else decided he couldn't deal with the R9 waiting period and cancelled his order literally at the last minute before it was to be shipped...bumped me back up on the list...!  Lucky me... ;D...not so lucky for the guy lacking patience...if only he had waited a few days more... :(.

As I understand it this new gun will still have the slide marked "Farmingdale", but will have the new black grips.  My plan is to prepare the new gun (#2) for regular carry, and I will then clean up and retire my #1 R9, with the blue grips, and bury it deep in my safe.  

There are very few guns I keep two of...but my goal will be to eventually obtain two of every Rohrbaugh gun ever made.  This way I can leave one of each to my two boys as I know they will treasure the Rohrbaugh guns as much as I do.

Man, I love these guns...!...TW<<

I just got in my March shipment of R9S'. The slides say Farmingdale with black carbon fiber grips. The blue carbon fiber grips are all gone, as I got in the last set for a lady customer who wanted the blue grips. She is very happy and has shot the gun and had a great time. She is working on her grip and getting use to shooting the pup. The guys on the March order are ready to get their guns. I don't want them to wait any longer, so they are getting them this week end. I'll tell everyone about the forum, hopefully they will report on their trips to the range.   Tom

TW,

I'm the guy who cancelled the R9 and I did so after having asked Eric to give me an idea when the gun would have arrived. During this same interval, the Arkansas R9s showed up and I begged off because I put faith in Eric, which may be seen on the forum.

I am no better or worse than anyone else but talking to your customers is paramount and Eric never responded. You get the gun.

I was trying to leave the forum discretely and as a gentleman but I still get posts on my e-mail and I feel the need to respond to your post.

 Consider yourself fortunate because Eric did one special thing with you which he completely ignored with me; he COMMUNICATED with you.

PCA,  I'm so sorry, when I saw your post. We all knew that you were getting a pup soon because of the trade. So, what you are saying is, that you passed on one from Ark., because you had one coming in soon from Rohrbaugh? Then because Eric did not get back with you right away you passed on that one? So I guess you,at this point, don't have one period? In my phone calls to Rohrbaugh in the last 2 weeks, I have only talked with Eric once; the rest of the time Maria. Both were trying to get a handle on the amount of guns coming out of production. I was suprised when my order shipped this week instead of in the next 2 weeks. Please, send me a PM. Is there anything any of us can do to help? I wondered why your posts slowed down in the last couple of weeks.   Regards, Tom
