Finally-Mine Arrived

[DDGator]

It is my understanding that Eric is dealing with some issues and may be difficult to reach for a bit.  The Rohrbaugh Firearms e-mail account is down for now too.  

If anyone wants to reach the factory -- use the phone number.  I will post more details in a separate thread when I can.

PCA - Let me get this straight.  You cancelled your order because Eric didn't call you back?  Would you have cancelled your Glock if Gaston didn't call you back?  Just seems like your expectations were a little out of proportion to reality.  I mean there are guys who have been waiting for months to get their R9.

Picked up my R9S today. It was ordered in July.

 Sorry if this seems like a flame, but I just don't get that logic.  It sounds a little too immature to me.

I know I couldn't wait for my R9, that's why I didn't order one from the factory.  I called around and got lucky.  My wait was a grand total of 15 days.  That said, I did read this forum a lot and I know I read may of PCA's posts.  His order was placed on November 8, so he has been waiting for several months.

There will be many points of view on this.  I guess at some point, everyone runs out of patience for something, so PCA isn't any different than anyone else in that regard.  On the other hand, it really isn't realistic to expect that Eric can be everywhere at once.  Plus, PCA was quoted a 4-5 month delivery time, which would have put a delivery this month right on-time, or even early.

Clearly, the way this is unfolding is very unfortunate to all involved.  At this rate, Eric will lose a customer, PCA won't get an R9, and we will lose a major contributor.  Unfortunately, this may happen from time to time, so let's try to be gentlemen about it.

No flame or disrespect intended to anyone.

>>Wayne and Rocnerd both make good points.  And as I recently stated on another thread - I think all of us have become more than a little spoiled with Eric's efforts via e-mail and phone to respond to everyone's beck and call = to keep us in the loop about our questions and purchases to the best of his abilities...WAAAY above the call of duty IMO.  

I don't really understand what PCA keeps talking about in saying Eric refused to answer his calls and e-mail, as this is totally out of character for the Eric we all know via Rohrbaugh Firearms, and as the man I have come to know and count as a personal friend.  In fact, Eric recently told me he has had conversations with PCA from the time of his original order back in November through after the point I swapped places with PCA in the R9 waiting line a couple weeks ago.  So go figure...?...!...??

I also mentioned a while back how there was a lot going on in Eric's life just now and with the Rohrbaugh family in general.  Point being that I felt we owed it to Eric and crew to give them some space and cut them some slack.  Everyone here likes to be treated professionally and with courtesy - which almost everyone here will agree Eric goes overboard to do...maybe too much, as things are turning out.  Don't we owe it to all the folks at Rohrbaugh Firearms to do the same...?  I think so - very much...!!!!!!

In the days ahead you will be hearing from Duane about some changes going on at Rohrbaugh which will effect all of us.  And before I finish saying what I'm getting at here I would ask y'all NOT to bombard Duane with calls and e-mail looking for details.  Duane is still putting the pieces together and figuring a way to bring us all into the loop in a manner respectful of both Rohrbaugh Firearms and the folks here on the forum!!

In the meanwhile, and as Duane and I have both indicated on different threads of late, if you desire to place an order or check up on an existing one - please call the 800 number and speak with the very capable and lovely, Maria.

TW - Thanks for the update.  Please post or PM if there is anything we can do.

Friends,

I am closing this thread as I think it has out-lived its purpose.

Suffice to say that there is more going on here than any one of you know.

Also, please recall that PCA is a valued member of this forum who is clearly "one of us" -- except that he doesn't have his R-9 yet.  

I suggest we let this resolve itself in due course, rather than adjudicating it here in the court of public opinion.
