I'm wondering and feeling lonely not having any updates on them for a while.... :confused:

[denfoote]

NADA!!

Haven't seen the P3AT yet, either!!!

[firestar]

Are they supposed to be in production or is that what you are asking? If they ever make them, they will sell them as fast as they can turn them out. I have been thinking about the price and if it is reliable and well made, I don't see it as being too big of a deal to spend $700 on one. I know they are supposed to be more like $800 but I hope that is MSRP and someday you can get them for less. A Kahr PM9 costs about $600 OTD and it is much bigger.

I haven't even seen them in a gun rag either. Rohrbaugh's web page still says they'll ship mid July though.

Haven't seen the P3AT yet, either!!!

I saw one sell on gunbroker over a month ago! I seen some on guns america too.

Rohrbaughs for $700??? That would be nice....

[denfoote]

I still have not seen the Kel-Tec in AZ yet!!

I think the Rohrbaugh is a hoax of monumental proportions foisted on the unsuspecting gun community.....A total fabrication/myth/joke. I'll never see one in my lifetime. (hee-hee):D

The P-3AT? Give'em a few months and they'll be turning up everywhere.

There was this big John Taffin-looking guy shooting it. I said, "Hey! Is that one of those Rohrbaughs?" He said, "Yup," and let me take a look. He was real nice and offered to let me try it out. It shot well, with no malfunctions, and it was phenomenally accurate for such a tiny 9x19. The felt recoil was, if not negligible, much, much less than one would expect. It just has to be experienced to be believed!

I told the guy that I had been really skeptical about when this pistol was going to be available, since I've been reading about it for years now and I think the initially promised availability date was a couple of years ago. He said, "Well, they're available now," and told me that the store here in Albuquerque where he'd picked his up had three more still in stock.

The only thing I couldn't figure out was why the guy with the Rohrbaugh was wearing a fur-trimmed red winter coat, pants and stocking cap in the desert heat. And why he was accompanied by this giant rabbit with a basket of colored eggs, and a small Tinkerbelle-looking chick with a sack of little teeth . . . .

Ho, ho, ho! :D

[Correia]

So John Taffin is Santa Claus...

Hmm...

That would explain a lot. :)

[Sven]

heh. ;)

They contacted me a couple of weeks ago looking for a source of a flat spring. Apparently the few they have are not available in quantity at a reasonable price. Everything else is looking good though. I ordered mine a year and a half ago. I hope that I get one of the first ones out, at lease they better not show up on a shelf in an Albuquerque gun shop before I get mine. ;)

[Blackhawk]

Jeff, where do they use a flat spring? I don't remember seeing one in the parts drawings.

[Erich]

A transplanted Hoosier, I would bet they show up in Indy before anyone out here sees one. :) You folks have money to buy!

[Sven]

Yeah, waiting to get the call that they are shipping, at which point my order will be finalized.

Gotta say it: better to have it come out late and good, rather than early and dismal. Let them work it out.

Hard to ride a bike you are building.

[Jeff OTMG]

I don't have a clue where the flat spring would go. They had worked out the problems with the barrels and barrel lugs and the sights are working beautifully as well. The only things that they were waiting on was delivery of the boxes to send the guns in and for the owners manuals to come back from the printer. The guns are built.

[incursion]

Man, I don't know how much longer I can hold out. Should I just get a Kahr PM9 instead?

[Blackhawk]

Instead? No.

Before? Maybe, provided you can swing both....

[incursion]

I can't afford both.

[Blackhawk]

Then I would get... neither.

Instead I'd opt for a $260 Kel-Tec P-3AT to use as a pocket gun. It's new, and seems to be performing almost flawlessly from the reports by the early adopters. (However, since my experiences with both my KTs has been 100% positive as have been those of my friends who have them, I admit to being a fan of Kel-Tec guns and the company.)

Since Rohrbaugh is a new company with new ideas, its products are going to have to prove themselves. The PM-9 is still going through its teething period as a new gun. If you can't afford to get both, wouldn't it be better to just wait until other people prove the new guns...? After all, neither gun is one you could afford to have confiscated or "lost" in the police property room should it ever come to that, and neither is one that you'd likely enjoy pumping box after box of rounds through at the range.

[incursion]

The PM9 seems to be through it's teething phases. I shot my friend's and was impressed with what I felt/saw.
