Years ago in more challenging times I did my best to thin out the herd.

I'm really sorry I sorta started this thread deflection, but it was such a softball, it was irresistable. My apologies to all if any offense was taken, but it appears that some humor was shared. :)

This was a venial thread drift that was quite humorous and I don't think anyone has taken offense to it. The initial post was by a new member who was giving us a report on his first outing and appeared to be just letting us share in his pride.

Short anecdote to share, about 'pride' (it's fun): a few weeks ago at my usual indoor range, I was asked by one of the staff there if they could check out the pistol (the Cogan-plated and ported Rohrbaugh R9s) I was shooting. So, gladly I handed it over for admiration...
Another of the staff members came over ( he's a Glock and 1911 guy) and asked, 'what's that pistol?'
The answer from the first: "A Rohrbaugh. The best-built pistol in the world."
Nothing else need be said. :)

Heres one in the other direction.  I called a so called gun plating and custom shop here in NC, I was inquiring about porting and as expected the guy on the other end ask what make is the gun, I responded a Rohrbaugh, he said a what, I replied again a Rohrbaugh, and spelled it out. He then replied OH one of those German made guns, I had no more questions for him after that. :o

I guess he was partially right, they are German. ;D

Hah! Very good. Except, why would anyone call anyone other than Bob Cogan?

Well, one reason I have is that Robar coats the insides.  I really wish that Cogan did that, but called and he said they were not equipped to handle the internals.  I'm leaning toward Robar for that reason.

Great story, Bill.

I've developed what I call my "Rohrbaugh Response."

Whenever I'm asked, "What pistol is that?," or some such question from one of the few people who ever get to see my R9, I just say, "It's a Rohrbaugh R9." Almost inevitably, the person then asks, "What?" To which I reply, "Surely you've heard about the smallest and lightest pistol ever made for the 9mm Parabellum."  

Then, depending on their attitude and whether I deem them to be worthy, I may or may not take the trouble to enlighten them.   8)

Well one reason is it was before I had heard of Bob Cogan or seen any of there work, and the other was because it was within driving distance, which would be a big plus to me. I could see the shop, meet the people dong the work, not have to ship my pup. ;D

John.  Would Robar doing the internals have anything to do with your decision now?  I'm still trying to decide.

   I like the fact that every part than can be coated is coated, and NP3 has a high lubricity and low friction co-efficient, reducing wear on all the parts. Also there coating is uniform and only two ten thousandths of one inch thick. I am very pleased with the NP3s performance so far.

Now that's why I'm leaning toward Robar.  I like those thoughts of everything coated.  Thanks.

I love it!

Richard that is a great way to introduce the R9 and sift through the wheat!

Short, simple and to the point, and see where it leads.
