Are you talking a new magazine to go along with our existing PUPs or a new design with a longer grip?

I vote for a new Magazine!

John (Yankee2500) how about a plus one mag extension?

It's not a quick and easy thing with the heel mag release and would probably require a new spring.

I'm thinking it would have to be a new design for the gun.

I don't see why it couldn't be accomplished with a plus one extension.

With the heel mag release, as John says, I think that would be the problem.  Then, concealment would be harder.

Ahhhh yes, I keep forgetting about that little release. Any way 6+1 is good for me, if I needed more I would be carrying a much bigger pistol.    ;D

part of the draw of the R9 is its minimal size, so why make it larger?
if it isn't a rohrbaugh, its too darn big

Some of you guys are scaring me because I can't believe this thread would even be started.

Let me get this straight; we have one of the smallest and highest quality 9mm defensive pistols ever produced, and now some people want to make it LARGER?

If I want larger (dictated by desired 7+1 capacity), I'd buy a Ruger LC9 at a fraction of the cost of the Rohrbough.

Hell, I'd ask for a 5+1 or even a 4+1 Rohrbough if I thought I could hold it and shoot it properly.

I thought that reliability and high power combined with deep concealment was what the entire Rohrbough concept was all about.
Take away any of those features and you no longer have a Rohrbough. You'd have any one of a dozen other lesser pistols that can be had at any sporting goods store.

Please, no more talk of a bigger Rohrbough.  :(
