History of Nick Name = PUP
« on: May 26, 2011, 07:05:18 PM »
Does anyone know how the Rohrbaugh pistol family became associated with the nick name of "PUP"

I have looked around, but cannot see a direct answer to the geneoloy of the name.

I am guessing the answer is so simple it will make me feel silly, but I would still like to know.

MOLSON.  The name for the R9 was first brought about by R9SCarry, a forum member here, and has stuck ever since.

Thanks. At least it was not an obvious answer. Nice to know the history.

R9SCarry is much more than just a forum member. He is a plank owner from May 21, 2004. He has contributed much useful information in a relatively few amount of posts and he is most appreciated by all of us. Here is only one example:

I do agree, tracker; I have read all RS9Carry's posts, as well, as all others.  His info is second to none.  Thanks for pointing out the example.

It has been asked several times before and I'm sure there will be more to come.

Maybe the answer should be made a sticky.
